Ok, but still arrived. The resident then took a whole hour and a half, but what is that. Then NEN cat leap Dhramsala, against four in the afternoon I was there.

Hotel gibts in Dharamkot is precious mountain top behind a small village, now look to me whether the way down to McLodGanji (the upper district of Dharamsala where the Dalai Lama and siztzt WSFII statfindet) in the long run is too much. Imerhin half an hour, but for that is this little bit away from the bustle of the city.

Speaking of crowds: Tomorrow is Diwali . That means that here geboellert like New Year's Eve, and today is just like the day before New Year's Eve. It pops unannounced everywhere and surprisingly. By the way is also as cold as before New Year's Eve, here at 2200m. But when the sun comes up tomorrow, everything is ok.

Habs then still managed to get up early and took the train halb 8th The city is also degree of awakening, the first stores were opened and NEN tea gabs already, incidentally, is quite tasty, pretty sweet

And fun, with a matter of 'pioneer railways' to sneak through the area. The train is empty, buses are just faster. But the view from here is better, more convenient ISTS too, so I have the time.

However, the weather plays not quite, it's raining now and is also quite cool. After a half hour is now first break. The locomotive has attached the four new cars, and then take a break first run. Since NER-five minutes doing nothing more here, oh, now I hear the diesel again, will probably continue soon. Let's see.

The trip to Jogindernagar - really nothing special. About 160km, this time in daylight. Only the Kullu Valley, down, past Kullu (where it is also the Parvati Valley, which I unfortunately only visit next time) continue to Mandi and from there west to Jogindernagar. Early release about half past nine, five-thirty in the evening there. And I really do not want häte watch as the bus passes through the fast. Canyons, mountains, incredible.

After finding a hotel or ne-round good-night and then sleep through Jogindernagar early - unless the plan. The guide was written: "Harmless" (in the next issue is "Groestenteils harmless"). Or rather, two ugly market roads, 15km away to those who do not die or the narrow gauge railway will, has lost nothing here.

So I through the streets, suddenly loud Punjabi from Mucke NEM store. There sit three teenagers, microphone in hand and with whom chit chat, drink tea, do not even music, but play at weddings, etc. Actually, all the local college, apart from 'DJ' who has the store.

Then with the kids pulled through the village, Hello here, hello there, and then off to dinner in a pub.

Main theme, in addition to 'where are you from' and 'here is the degree of Paragliding World Cup "was oh dear, the question of how to do that with the love and the women concerned right now.

'Lucky' had heartache, she does not love him, he is fired. Ashish has adopted seinee best because she loves him, probably not. And I in the middle, with my wisdom, that these problems are not less, but we probably handle it differently. Or not, well, Gelabert, in any case much.

And then, it was late enough to go, crass rain. No chance for the place to come, especially after the imminent power failure, so by candlelight further babble, Punjabi improvising and trying to learn to dance.

I had to leave as a gift - the only thing I had in German - ing straps of Tatonka, 'Lucky' was pleased nonetheless, has just sentimental value. And now I wear two rings, a steel and such a Punjabi DJ thing, ne great out stretched tongue. Oh, I also get a Armdingsda yet, have been equipped en true.

At some of the rain was gone, the power back and I was taken with NEM car to the hotel, beautiful evening.

Well, it was in sight. I'm still in Manali (Vashisht). and how it happened: Alex was of course not in the evening in Johnson's hotel in Manali, invite Nobel quite nicer. Well, I'm finally announced in the evening back to Vashisht, there was birthday party.

Well, go, may have her, everything is different. Yesterday the internet cafe broken, I thought, what to eat waer still good but then maybe go to bed early. On the way to the hotel (10 minutes) HERE past the temple and at the hot spring, because I hoer diagonally from top restaurant NEM nor music that is out for a nice Supper.

Nice people there, but Joey never met, who had to get out of the hotel at noon, due to "check-out time". There was to play music, drums, Violiine ne, ne flute, harp ne, and jeh whim everything one came into the hands. We still sat outside, the air was nice and it was found that the "Rainbow Cafe" type best DJ waer. Comes from Nepal and is often in Goa, so techno-trance at its best.

Well stayed with me so nothing else but the whole evening to dance to worship Shiva and nice to blabber with ner Australian and a Finnish woman, who were there. What had by merger, of course not as big (30Leute) but very chilling, and the dancing tremendously warm at night. (By the way, where were you, Connie, you hit me but otherwise every time I dance to such Mucke?)

Not the Finn, yes, I've noticed the name, has birthday today, so get updated very often this evening, of course not a party.

Was clear, with nothing to get up early this morning. Well did, and even holidays! So lunch risen, so the noise was also gone already and I could again have breakfast in the sun. I've wanted to but hurry, so today then at least see Manali.

On the way there, take out even in the temples of Vashisht, a bath. Beautiful there, the water was a little hot, but pleasant. On the way out then OmBaba taken the part was sitting in a temple that is dedicated to Shiva himself well. I hate OmBaba also met the day before, he took me to NEN eigeladen tea, so I could not do reject.

Some time later, here is an invitation to tea schonmal a half hours to complete - worshiped in the meantime, blessed with holy ash on several occasions, and Shiva, what a start to the day. I am then taken away, went to Manali, clarified the bus (every half hour, four hours by bus to Manli, and then change to the narrow gauge railway - 2h) and then still NEN beautiful temple (Habimba) visited.

# Ok, now it is here that "I will not go away" feeling # Degrees when trying to upload the pictures, found the box a virus here. On the SD card of my camera, wow is Windows creatively. I've determined from Vashisht, which is really ne class distribution method by Touri #

The summer is still not out of here. Yesterday probably moved too much on the dark side of life. After the first day to get up on his hotel terrace chill in the sun, which ne heat during the day. And then losgewandert determined.

Wanted in a nearby valley run, Solang Valley, but of course just down the road, but first to nem waterfall and then the way was always improvised, well, somehow it was gone. So hit the Nose on a hillside two women tied the hay and have it nice they chatted. Then on, who thought it would be because NEN way to the valley, you know, was given up increasingly difficult and then I have, down the street and even a little piece there, until the sun had entschossen to disappear behind the mountains. Nice area here, tomorrow I'll probably a little piece further into the mountains.

've Met a guy who lives here, and also makes Bergfuehrungen, well, probably all of bahupten, but I do not need so much. Maybe I will meet tomorrow in the Solang Valley. Alex from London, whom I met on the way back, makes tomorrow oh ne mountain tour, but 6:30 in Manali was nothing to me. Then turning to me in bed I again.

But Alex also wants the day after Dharamshalam, and probably narrow-gauge railway with ner as I do, so maybe we travel together, we'll meet tomorrow night. Otherwise, I was on the way back mitgenomen a local with his Motorrrad, Amil, who has switched from Hinduism to Christlichsein and since then is happy, who wanted to bathe in the evening Termal source pool in the temple here. I would also grad - but FSelect water stinks quite beautiful her for a bath day helps anything, I'll have to take time out and a good early-morning bath.

# Joey stood me up, were arranged for dinner, but is probably already happening. Bon Voyage! # Have seen that the degree Opennet in Rostock is some (bssid-fix, low-WEP), the beauty! Thank Mathias. #

So, once again a Chaostag. Frueh arrived here quite done (well, 10 hours, bus travel on the day was probably terrible), according Vashish (Yes, v) and drove straight to the hotel. On the way in which Morgenaemmerung seen the snow-capped mountains, yea, the Himlaya. And this morning at 7, bitterly cold here. Well, I was completely finished. Slept until noon, acoustics charged (yes, there are again photos) and lunch on the terrace, great.

Joey from New Zealand where first met with her and then went to Manali. Learned that the Termalquelle here in the temple is great, but change the water at night so that you go the best early. Well, ds' Dom early oh and got frozen, but I probably would be eingepennt it, sure.

Joey has done a long Asienrese 6 months and is now at the end of their travel time. It has, hears hears, kicked her job as a woman doctor and says that as the decision was best of the year. Well, like what we had in common.

Then walked from Manali to Old Manali, a super nice old mountain village. And there followed the same path NEM in the mountains, should be at the end of a cafe Disc.Valley, well, the cabin was NER may be used in the season, but nothing was happening degree. Along the way, very nice wheezed, I'll either old and unathletic, or which is the height of air, the latter is much more likely!

Nice here, I hope that once the sun bleit the day, then I stay still for a while. And Tomorrow we determined the warm Quellbad, yah, but now I'm tired, expectant on our hotel terrace still pay homage to Shiva something, and then I fitschlafen for tomorrow.

Impressively this city was only a brief glimpse ... Now I sit before my first overnight bus trip for the first time in NEM luxury hotel opposite the bus station, right again gorged at rest and at the Nobel level. Even with NEM Bir, will probably cost 250Rp/5eur, which is about ten times as much as next door ... By the way, for travel funds, especially the first 150EUR go low. And I've lived not bad, well traveled, well.

But now you know why I had ever write again, so today did not just make pictures (ne need first outlet for battery charging)'m impressed, I had not expected. The city is colorful, and I was in grade rock garden ('Rock Garden') Wow, the artist was really crass it. Is hard to describe, sculptures and entire landscapes of stone, porcelain or just partially concreted evenly broken sockets. In between artificial temple walls, waterfalls, incredible.

At that location fits music, of course. But all was quiet until, indeed, in part it was a kind of festival space, colorful, with camel rides, cool Punjabi DJs and throwing cans and whatnot. Colorful, lively, beautiful. Reminds me of Berlin in the summer, only in NER surreal scenery and even in India, with my favorite music.

There, around the corner was also prepared for a banquet, everything looked quite posh, but the people were well mixed and have been feeling.

A total of ne nice surprise. We'll see pointing continues, tomorrow I'm in Manali, hopefully. And now I drink my beer and number of times ...

Although, today I got on the bus asked me if I'm correct, and indeed I am the only English speakers were invited to study in the bus. much to Touripreisen. Then from Yamunanagar to Ambala, from there to the bus station and there Chandagar the interesting information that the bus to Manali takes about 10 hours.

10 hours, well not bad. So I decided to drive over night, now look whether the ne good decision. Tomorrow morning I'm (probably completely destroyed) in Manali, about half-seventh By the way should be a "sleeper", now look whether there are pillows on the bus.

# New batteries purchased, auch nich better. So Ladegheraet batteries and worried, and tomorrow I'll load batteries. As long as no pictures get updated very often well # Here you find as a tourist spot NEN Rock Garden, well sometimes look brings obs #

The second and final day jmit Radaur is now over, was stressful but again interesting and beautiful. Early in the morning came, only two studies to LEGO crafts, which also was not bad, yes even a LEGO Mindstorms kit there. I had breakfast with Arun, while studies have built a Lego robot. It was surprising that the two apparently never with plastic building blocks had played. Understandable, but gabs hold in D agricultural never thought so Nich it.

After this test Mesh network. Fell into the water, was only scheduled for 9:20, but breakfast was a bit late to release it here writing anymore, there a good morning and it was soon afterwards, then had to Arun, that is about change.

Introduction to Linux given. The day before, about 40 studies were there today were less - actually had all the other subjects, but were for the opportunity to ever released on the importance of their courses. Today genauo many participants, but with more distractions, well, a bit chaotic, but Indian, cozy and beautiful.

First Windows-Linux comparison, then something about the history of Linux / Unix and donating roughly divided into several stages to declare the system to illustrate basic THe difference to Windows, the 'powerful console'.

Power outages and partial absence of the name of the gateway server or the network have direct practical suitability of Linux may show. After that I have raised Studies, who said that they have so much more directly understand the network, etc., than with a traditional in such cases, Windows-tasting spree.

I have recommended to the teachers, for the studies, which generally do not have their own computer to provide a test network with ten identical Linux machines (images), and root access to users as a playground. The rest comes by itself, if they can surf more than the boxes.

Been visited by a lecturer from Ambala College of Engineering and Applied Research, which I was invited there. There successfully use Linux in education. Let's see, lies about midway between Dharamsala and Delhi, so maybe on the way there.

In the evening of the Institute Manager Ms. Pariza adopted, it is perhaps the WSFII to Dharamsala (with Studies?), So also aroused interest. Then again in the city (Radaur), with some studies by the striped area and had dinner here and had interesting conversations. It was repeatedly pointed out that here in India, parents arrange the wedding, so nothing with love or something. Well have to, I just say that in D-country is different. But not easy.

# The batteries are either too old or too stupid, at least for my camera KodakXtralife is not suitable if purchased in Delhi. # Hopefully tomorrow morning again to the grid, then there is some images and some email responses'm not even really a while longer come on line #
