The noon approached, the alcohol the night before had gone to some extent, the Aces had temperature 40 degrees in winter, time for the last short stretch to Trivandrum to Congress.
Übrraschend was the highway this time like ne city transit, 60km in the Indian traffic with honking and jostling is pretty exhausting after three hours of first bent to Kovalam, a sandy beach for tourists and Indians, fully developed for tourism. But still quite nice. Hugo was somewhat annoyed, somehow this is all very stressful for him has degrees, but the rest did well.
Evening to IIITMK, Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management Kerala, welcomed by Venkatesh and Prof. Chopella KR Srivathsan welcomed. We are both super dirty from the journey, first from the hotel. And where the Techno Park - the location of the IIITMK was already an impressive surprise, new, chic, the hotel is incredible. Glossy, super clean, a classic European hotel business. The night 999rp/20eur that room I would have appreciated to 3000rp. Expensive, unindisch, and we are guests of the Institute.
After briefly planned the workshop, installed as a test ne Freifunk firmware on a WRT-54GL, unfortunately, was the gateway function as expected, I must look again tomorrow morning. But let's start with Fred from Goa, Danesh from Bangalore, Venkatesh and Hugo went to drink a beer. Tomorrow will be the first or the second established free wireless networks in Asia here.
# In Kerala not get updated very often Cola. So this black-brown broth. Fanta, 7up, etc. is not a problem, somehow the result of NER failed campaign against Coca Cola have been overflowed. Now there is only funny Cola in hotels, but not in shops along the street. #
