My Blog, started to record my adventures as I headed off to live and work in Sri Lanka for a couple of years in March 2006. The blog is now a general record of what I am doing, I have also added the VSO process detail from April 2005 for new Volunteers reading it. Please note: the views expressed in this blog are the author's own and do not necessarily reflect those of VSO.

Karaoke Nights
There is an outbreak of karaoke machines in Ampara, now four here I believe. They are quite sophisticated and give you a score at the end. Last Friday went to my second karaoke party, this time determined to stay sober and avoid singing at all costs. Last time it was Clody’s leaving do and a surprise karaoke party, well surprise to me! Managed to stay sober this time but did end up singing, made the mistake of staying sat on the sofa when the more sensible people headed for the relative safety of the kitchen, so got stitched up. I managed a score of 92 in a duet with Tracy of Simon and Garfunkels the boxer. Best score on the night was 98.
