Collecting songs
(BETWEEN FRANCE AND NEPAL) In France, I tell children a story and they sing a song that I collect. Once I have finished my french collect, I will leave hitch hiking to Nepal. On my way, I will sing with my guitar and i will juggle with children. In return, they will teach me a song wich will delight my travel and wich will meet others children fron the world. Spreading songs all the way, I would like to provoke meetings and to build bridges between children from differents countries.

the fantastic town

Namaste,

I'm with my friend " Navneet " and his wife

" Prya ".

I stayed in their home during my 12 th week.

All the day, Navneet works.

I have seen again " Mina ",a student that i met

 in a bus; with his friends, we have visited 

a few famous sites like the mausoléum : Mahatma

 Gandhi.

Gandhi is called : "the father of the nation".

 He dreamed at an Indian society right and

 equal for everybody.

Gandhi asked to live simply for the others live

simply.

In the middle of the town, there is " the Old

Delhi ": a great bazar is in the area. Some

 thousands of small shopkeepers fill the small

 streets where there are only cows and people.

 be carreful with cow-dungs.

The smell of incense and spices are nice for my

 nostrils.

So i love  getting lost me in this maze.

The prices change quickly according to the customer .

The life isn't dear but the poverty  is everywhere.

 Many people earn less than 1 euro a day.

In the evening, a robber take my camera in my

rucksack, when i waited for the bus.

I had photos and vidéos that i took in the  week.

 With my camera, i collect the children songs.

I had not find a school for my collect, although

" Mina " and his friends had given me a contact.

It's very hot at  " Delhi " for this week and i

had the " Tourista " (diarrhoea) , no comment.

When i was at Delhi in 2003, i played extra in a

film " who Lahme " from the Bollywood.

The Indians love the cinema a lot. In this film,

i watched a fashion-show at a bar with a glass of

whisky and i was  well dressed.

After, with a new camera i go to " Rishikesh " which

 is on the side of the Gange and the mountains of

 Himalaya.

 7 hours in a bus to have 230 km.

There are a lot plantations of sugar-cane. It look

 like at indian corn.

The stalks are grinded to give sugar which you add

ginger, lemmon and minth ; it's delicious!!

Today, monday April 7 th i go to a collect in a

small village in the mountains where there is not

 internet.

I will stay during 2 or 3 days before to get back

to the Nepal by north-east.

It will take me also 2 or 3 days by bus to arrived at

" Pokhara ".

mean while,  be patient for the news !!!.

Philmilinque.

                                         Pierre

I forgot to mention the delicious pancakes pierre made for us. Pierre please give us the recipe for making it. I made pancake every day with the leftover batter after you left. mmm... delicious!
One interesting evening we had was when some of my friends were over. Pierre told us the story of Tunga, which was magical! By the end of it we were all dancing and singing like children with him. All of us are in our late twenties, but that evening we all felt like children again.
Thanks for the beautiful evening pierre. It's memory will stay forever in my mind.
Playing the guitar and singing with you was also a very good experience. We also recorded a hindi song together.
