The shortest distance between two points...

is a straight line. In this case I picked an extra stop on the very long straight line that connects where I am to the next conference destination, Brisbane, Austrailia.

So my travel itinerary has me stopping over in India for 5 days to visit a dear friend and colleague, Amritha. We will take a train together from Delhi to the Himalayas (Uttarakhand) to visit a village where we may be collaborating on some design work in collaboration with an NGO there. Afterwards I take a daytrip to Chandigarh to see what happened when chaotic Indian culture hit modernist city planning. After another day in Delhi I will continue to Austrailia over Singapore - where on my return trip, I hope to get out of the airport for a few hours and see a bit of the city.

In Austrailia I'll be in a young planners workshop followed by an international conference. I won't have a lot of spare time but hope to see some kangaroos!
