About Me
Hi, I’m Briony and I’m living in Pune for two months working with slum children and teaching them English. I am then then going to New Delhi to work in the community hospital for a month. I decided to take a gap year before starting university to experience different customs and to live in a culture so very different to my own. Briony

Arrival

Posted By Briony Labram on 05 Jan 2008
Arrival in Mumbai felt so strange! I was so tired and scared, but so excited at the same time. I was met at the airport and taken to the train station.

When I arrived at Pune station I really didn’t know what to expect but Suvarna (the Pune rep) was waiting for me.

I would truly recommend a visit to Goa. The beaches are idyllic and the sea is so warm. Alex, Izzy, Paddy and I went for three days and it really wasn’t enough. We could have all stayed for over a week! We went to some wonderful places to eat and all ate loads of seafood. We even went to a boat trip and saw dolphins!

In Mumbai

Posted By Briony Labram on 02 Jan 2008
On friday afternoon Pady and I met and took the train from Pune to Mumbai. It was a four hour train journey but we were in the AC carriage and it was very comfortable. At the station we met one of our friends who we have made whilst living here in Pune and we all took a taxi to our hotel. I was a bit worried about the hotel as they didnt take my name when I rang up to book it they just said that it would be fine..
