j to tha a to tha f f n a. y'all.

i know it's been ages since last update, and i would like to apologise. but i'm not going to! ha ha ha deal with it.

on with the post!

we went to jaffna, apparently it's much more like india than the south of sri lanka cos it's full of tamils not sinhalese. so the music's better, for a start. and the women are fitter, and the clothes are nicer. oh, and the climate's better. and the food too - wait a second, what am i doing in this part of the country ffs?

i spose there is less chance of getting yr legs blown off down here:



these signs are everywhere, denoting mine fields, there's also loads of ngo types in their air con 4x4s buzzing around looking for mines. i told them wouldnt it be easier just to look out for the signs then they'd find the mines no problem. i dunno, ngo's, they never think things through.

jaffna is utterly buzzing at night, here is ben and john in just one of the literally some* bars in the town.

*Two.



so, having quenched our thirst, what's missing? religion, that's what! jaffna's got loads of those temples that look like huge and artistic landfill sites:



they are ace inside, lots of bare chested men running around pouring water from one tank to another, dribbling warm milk around, tying things to other things and burning stuff. it's a bit like when you're young and experimenting with matches. a bit.

we went to another temple...us being extremely sharp when it comes to noticing exposed female flesh, noticed this:



this looks like a GREAT religion.

ok that was the end of part one we pause now for these messages dont go away! or, better still, go away!
