The best thing about India is the broadband internet access. I have SO many video taken over the years, but no way of sharing them with all of you out there and this has been a source of much consternation for myself. I was storing them on my 160 GB Toshiba drive which was already beginning to show signs of malfunction. Electronics really seem to give out fast here. If the drive went down it would be two years of documentation evaporated. Now safely in a very wired country I can upload video to my hearts delight. Unfortunately it takes a while load on you tube so you'll get'em piecemeal.
This here is a dancing call boy. His job is to find people to take a taxi and gets paid a little commission each time. This is not a very exciting career, but I once remember a whole crowd of these guys erupting into spontaneous cheering when I chose their bus over another one. Notice those ridiculous clothes. Most taxi drivers dress like this: which is to say like weird American art
students.
This is pretty entertaining. Not at all sure what's all about. the big football-looking dude in the background is Abe another volunteer who was on his second peace corps contract Zambia (4 years! Ulp!)
Update: me and my big mouth. After posting this I proceeded to misplace that bloody hard drive. I've walked around talked to some chaps offering a 2000 rupee reward if found, but something tells me that it forever lost. So much Zambian videos.
