Also, it is 5am here in !ndia. And I can't get to sleep. So that means that, for the readers of the blog, there is now Andrew! all day round! That's right, this is the earliest post yet!
Ok, so, I've been throwing around this idea of buying and selling jewellery (buy in !ndia, sell in London) for a while now... and honestly, I can't get the numbers to work. Much.
I mean, sheah, I end up making a bit of money from it, but it's honestly not enough money, right now, to justify the bother. About, what, 800 aussie dollars? And god knows how long i'd have to sell for it to work. Plus, I'd have to sit and haggle around with the delhi locals here, and I hate doing that.
Actually, it's incredibly good practice, and I'm glad I took the time to do it. Today, for instance, I was quoted a 'fair price, meester, you come back for more! You see, I give you price, and you come back, and we all make money'
Long boring story short, he was wrong, his price was too high, and I dropped it by 25%. Then I had to leave because he dropped down too quick, so I knew I could'a dropped it by about 50%. I much like my other dealer friend Anita better, who talks all the time and then charges 5 times what anyone else does, because she thinks I don't know anything.
So, the new plan is to see the goddamn himalayas instead. I think we can all agree that it is better to see mountains than buy jewellery. And I can always buy jewels in the mountains.
Oh. Wait, all the flights there are gone. Damn. Ok, ummm.... help?
Oh, and another thing:
all of my earlier pictures are gone. I don't know how, or why, but they are. Including me with that dude, Govindaaaah. There's only one thing to do, and that is to put up the photos I took of camboooodia, and Haran, because pictures with either of those two in it can only rock.
