| Hey everyone, is there anyone going out in Jan 08? I know most people who've applied so far are going earlier than that, but hey, thought it best to get in early!

Our pre-departure course is all together, and I think we all leave together. Another med placement! Congrats Lou. That's 3 of us now, anyway. Woo!
Are you at sixth form/ college now?
Do you know what you wanna do when you get back, uni/work-wise?

Yeah, I got the South India Lonely Planet (but I haven't started reading it yet! :S).
I'm at 6th form too, and when I finish in June/July, I wanna visit Cuba for 2/3 weeks hopefully, if I have enough cash saved up. Then when I get back, it's f/t work to make up the rest to go to India!
I'm applyin for medicine (depending on 3 A's :S) before I leave. Maybe we'll both be working at the same hospital a few years down the line!

I was gonna do a trip round the south, Pondicherry, Madurai, Kerala, Bengalaru, Goa and then Mumbai (all things going well!) and back down to Chennai.
I'm not workin at the mo, I'm still doin A-Levels (coursework=  argh!). I might be gettin a job soon in Waitrose (hopefully something else will come up, but til then...) which should guarantee me what I need for the trip. I'm hopin to stay for the full 6 months, but I'll wait til I'm there to decide.
I went and got some of my injections (diptheria, polio tetanus + Hep. A) today. My arms are absolutely killing me! One in each arm!

wow, you've had them early. mind suppose its better to get them out the way, i'm still findin out which i need, when, how much they are etc. think i had better visit my doctor!
think i would just do a trip round the south but i want to see the taj mahal, you cant really go to india and not see it! so think im gunna have to go abit further afield.
are you doin any fundraising for the trip?

No, fundraising's a bit out of my league! 
I didn't even think of the Mahal! I guess I will be travelling more than I thought!
For the vacs- it's your booster of Diptheria, tetanus + Polio (if u had them in yr 7/8 like me), Hep A, Rabies (i didn't know it could be transmitted by a lick! :S), Not Yellow Fever, and...I can't remember the other one. Typhoid! And meninghitis! (I've never put this much enthusiasm into naming diseases before!) Oh, and the anti-malarial drugs have to be taken regularly while you're out there. Apparently the worst thing you could do is have 'risky sex'. So no hanging off cliffs sex or bungee-jumping sex, I assume
