Happy Holi from @SirCork on location, in Kolkata India!
Hey Again, Steemitizens
Some say he walks the kolkata slums alone.
Some say he has super coconuts...
We call him...
"The American"
Surrounded by kids in the slums just a few blocks walk from my guesthouse
The matches I was given when I asked the kids for a light for a cigarette
Check out the angry guy in the back. Hahaha, guess he is having a bad day :D
The children surrounded me with squirt guns... filled with colors, this place is going crazy today!
I am having trouble uploading pics here on this net speed. I will post more later, I have some amazing shots to share!
I know, I know, I said I was going to blog every day from the road.
Um.
Well....
Oops?
I left home last Friday from Richmond, Virginia, USA, stopped to change planes in Philidelphia, Pennsylvania and then was off to the Netherlands to meet @poeticsnake!
Two days there saw me jumping a jet and landing in Abu Dhabi U.A.E. where I met up with @funshel for a fantastic day of siteseeing around the city.
Then I made the leap over to Kolkata India, where I am now.
The whirlwind nature of the stops, has left me never having enough time to fully charge my devices and Im filling my phone and cameras with photos and my mind and heart with stories to tell for years to come.
Unfortunately though, internet in airports and guest houses is as sketchy as electricity itself in India so I am way far behind in getting the fun stuff to posts here as soon as I would prefer.
I will be posting some epic stuff in the days to come, so keep an eye on my blog. You simply won't believe some of the amazing things, the hilarious things and the heart warming, tear jerking things that I have seen and experienced along this amazing journey.
For now, I once again, find myself in a hurry and no time to post a solid post beyond this quick note.
I am alive, healthy, and enjoying the heck out of this trip. The people of the world are incredible.
There will be much more to come so watch this space!!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY HOLI EVERYONE!
From the road, from the heart,
Yours in service,

When I come to Nigeria, I will give you the whole 2 weeks :D Just give me a year or two to replace all the money Ive spent this time! :D I better get busy posting to earn money on this cool website someone told me about, called steemit.com where you can get rich with a sentence! :D

Wow awesome! Looking forward to hearing more about your travels. <3
Some of the stories are more epic that I could have EVER imagined. Stay tuned, my dear. Stay tuned...
Wow.. @sircork...enjoy your holidays to the fullest. Sometimes it is good to take sometime off regular work and explore the world. That's quite what your doing and it is so in order.
Traveling to different places to specifically meet Steemian is also a good of building solid relationship. Kudos to you and do have a wonderful stay.
@eurogee of @euronation community
India for ten more days, Hong Kong and Macau still wait my arrival!
I am very blessed, fortunate and humbled by this experience. I cannot wait to get to solid internet and share all the amazing things and images of this journey!
Glad to see you made it there safely. Have a jolly spiffing time...
Spiffing as suggested Sir, spiffing quite handily and dandily :)
Happy Holi... And yeah as you said it's gonna be crazyyyyyyy... Enjoy the festival and keep us updated with your pics... 🎊🌟🌸
What.an.absolutely.amazing.day!
What part of India are you from?
You are having the time of your life! Not in traveling, but in meeting these folks that you help. The old Sarge has a tear in his eye after seeing that picture. G-D bless you and all of those folks.
Not a world traveler like you @sircork, but I will be in Boston this weekend for a STEEM meetup. Just a train, not a plane (thank G-D).
Be safe. With much respect, appreciation and prayers for traveling mercies; I am
@sgt-dan

Sweet travels my friend I need to get back on the road again was in Chicago and New York a few weeks ago and enjoyed the travel , meet steemians and blog process
"The blog process" is not quite the same in Kolkata as in the windy city or the big apple. :D But it's a challenge I'm willing to take on!
Hope you are well "son" - don't be such a damn stranger!
Sorry for being a stranger aint much on the dischord chat for starters and I know you aint on there. Hence my stranger status . What is the channel you are on ?
