Delhi; Agra; Jaipur

04-Aug-09

I meant “a” museum in my last post. After an exciting adventure finding the International Tourist Bureau at New Delhi train station, I got very lucky and snagged a 3AC ticket to Agra on the 5:30 a.m. Punjab Mail train. After the requisite rip-off taxi at 4:30 a.m., I hope to be rid of travel-planning-scammers […]

London; Delhi

01-Aug-09

Internet access has been less prolific and less air conditioned than I’d hoped, so far, so this will be in blurb form. I’ll do my best to update my location in identi.ca as frequently as possible, though. My hotel in London was ideally located for the O2 arena and not much else–about 10 minutes’ walk […]

Auspicious Beginnings

27-Jul-09

At around 11:30, I got a text message announcing the cancellation of my flight from LaGuardia. I called United and was reassured that the flight was on time before hearing that it was indeed scrubbed. United re-booked me on the next flight out of LGA, which would have delayed my arrival to London by about […]

Go East

26-Jul-09

London tomorrow. Delhi by Friday. Watch this space, where I may or may not get around to blogging. I’ll try to keep identi.ca updated with my whereabouts / transportation info even if I’m too lazy to blog.

Hong Kong Revisited

29-Dec-08

This January, I’ll be making it back to Hong Kong for far too short a time. If you’ll cross paths with me, let me know: 4 Jan arrive HKG around 2 p.m. 6 Jan in Macau from early morning and then flying to Kuala Lumpur, overnighting there 7 Jan to Langkawi 8 Jan back to […]

Baltimore and my first Greyhound and Amtrak rides

26-Dec-07

Those of you who have already talked to me since the train ride may be worried that my blog is turning into one about railroad accidents (not the Torts casebook ones, the modern ones). I’ll try to write about some other stuff too. Baltimore was a very nice break for me. I took Greyhound from […]

NYU

01-Apr-07

NYU’s visit was crammed in many ways. It all took place within one day, the 1L class is pretty big there, and 280 people were at that visit day alone. Breakfast was nice: Columbia should consider copying the “chair” innovation we enjoyed in Vanderbilt Hall. Everything was sliced into 50 minute blocks, which was a […]

making up for lost time (no Fools, too tired): Columbia

01-Apr-07

While I’m delayed here in nEWaRk I’ll try to make up for some of my non-blogging adventures. I just haven’t had the time to sit down and write, and as a consequence have forgotten most everything not written down somewhere. And I’m not even sure where I wrote anything. It’s been a crazy week of […]

brief visit to Penn

27-Mar-07

I nearly got bumped from the DTW-LGA flight (and into first class at that, according to my nwa.com itinerary), but the annoying guy who first angrily declared that he was on the volunteer list before me (nope) decided that he couldn’t go then at all—despite the fact that he was in the departure lounge and […]

A2/UMich ASW summary

25-Mar-07

My trip to Ann Arbor has been lovely. I didn’t take any pictures. Sorry (it was wet and rainy and somewhat cold and stuff when I had my camera). Very nice town… a bigger, better Morgantown. Flagship U.’s college town. This Admitted Students Weekend convinced me that I’d be very happy to spend the next […]
