Today is saturday... Pebar day. Now, i decided i should clarify once and for all whether he was a minor or not. Employing a child would be slightly tragic... so i said "Pebar how old are you?"... I held my breath, if he said 15 it would be awful - i'm not sure the landlord would appreciate me sacking Pebar because he was too young... so Pebar says 'I'm 20... I think...' so it turns out he doesnt actually know how old he is, but he thinks he is 20... so i think I'm fairly safe on the child labour front. The reason he doesnt know his age is because like manymany other people in developing countries his birth wasnt registered... in his case because his father died and his mother abandoned him, and so he has lived with my landlord for the last 11 years... interesting.
other news is that i went to a gym. I am not sure i will return. for 200 rupies or £1.40 I had the joy of using the following equipment:
- 2x running machines – working fine, except the gradient was not changeable
- 2x ski bikes – functional but not able to change the resistance – and there was no resistance as such so not much good.
- 1x bike – lacking in one pedal but otherwise functional
- 1x stepping machine – out of order
So, it was great value?
I'm off for some sightseeing now - I feel I need to be a tourist and find out what there is to see in this part of the world... I shall upload some more photos today or tomorrow
over and out
