my mom's parents were Dutch settlers, my father's parents were Portuguese settlers. Came to India in the 1930s or something. People in school used to call me a pariah because i look white, but i have no western accent ..also my full name is very strange to most people in this country since it (my name) is typically Portuguese....

thats what ppl say now...
in fact my mum's family is the only family in the whole country with the last name Scolt..(originally Escolt Dcosta)...every single Scolt in the country is related to me..
not that that is a good thing sometimes....

So how come you know English so well? Is that the mainly spoken language there or what?

pirate · Post by **pirate** » Fri Jun 17, 2005 11:52 am

well..since this country was under British rule, and both my parents went to missionary schools and had to learn English besides Dutch and portuguese. (i dont know either..used to know a couple of curses in Portuguses but iv forgotten)..
there's also a huge English speaking population here..
i went to an Irish Catholic boys school (St Columba's) thats based out of Dublin...the Irish Christian Brothers founded by St Edmund Rice..so there as well...plus we are what is called the Anglo-Indian community...indians of foreign origin...thats why...

Start naming dates and see who can do what. Have we decided the location is london? It's a big fucking place, be more specific, what part? Or are we just gonna sorta tour the place?

Hey tom if you wanna Chip down there with me on the train that would be sweet!

How about the 24 july? and at one of the big train stations, one of the main ones where most people would get off if coming by train?

Just an idea..
