get the wor (l) d

(For a clue here to add that the headline is not English, but English Indian)

Like ... that's just as common in India. First I had planned to go to the end of last week after Pondycherry and Auroville. To me there in the community to look Auro her for a job. However, the responses to my emails rather sparse up there not even there to write (according to Schön case), is it not possible to optimally care of the financial need. Auroville work without money, but it works for me as a guest just too limited.

Well, no problem, the possibility of Bangalore have raised this to happen. Last week at deeprootlinux looked over, and will equip the next year, some colleges around here with WLAN. And I can design this concept and we could run ne free software on the routers, in one form or another university just a mesh. Cool.

It sounded great ever, so there is ne perspective for me here next year. Dinesh then has the right job and believe me the Barcamp Banaglore to heart. And rightly so, what a great event ( see me there ). Sessions on all kinds of hacker interesting topics of charity blogging about wireless mesh to gender roles. A living ad-hoc network, a lot of spontaneous and many people made.

Concrete results get updated very often also, on the one hand, and most important, it has been found ne Wireless Community Group, which wants to build a community in Bangalore mesh. Let's see pointed continues, will certainly cost a lot more initiative and Motviation of me, but I'm looking to spark even on the roofs of Bangalore.

And, a new job offer has also arisen. Is probably more research-oriented, something with implementation of mesh nodes in cars and construction of a mobile meshes, details get updated very often tomorrow. Another conversation. Well look, like this like when I next year - wieauchimmer - will be working in Bangalore, wow!

And because it was not long enough for a single weekend, hung to it yesterday evening soon ne spontaneous demonstration. In the middle of the city, more of a reclaim the streets to the situation in Nandigram ( [1] , [2] ) to draw attention. Similarly, ad hoc and effective as the rest of Barcamp events, with hand-written leaflets and stuff. Cleverly left off before the truck arrived with police forces in and found only a empty road. Hihi.

Back to Bangalore. Wow, two weeks was not here and I feel when arriving back at home again. If nothing is that, thanks Dinesh. But always in order, finally, the last entry a while ago.

For a while, although I was previously only able to send off. Although I have made bold techno NEN entry via GPRS and mobile internet anywhere in India, but somehow WORKS not work as desired. Can not load files into the net, send emails itself is a problem. Surfing does not do it. Beautiful garbage can! In any case, ne challenge for further investigation, now, nor can I blame anyone.

So Srivangapatna, great I'll properly. The 'Bird Sanctuary' is indeed determined class, but not if you go to the Saturday, then is just as full. Therefore it is worth the admission does not, better stay outside and enjoy the surroundings. What I was doing. Is wonderful because, as one of nature's desires. Birds anyway sunk everywhere, a river with two arms, an old fort in greenery, exciting posters designed by wonderful people, what more could you want?

I just wanted more Another day later, which was a good decision. All interested motorcycle enthusiasts was told that I would, of course, next day it almost pushed to the mechanic, because I did not even have the box back anbekommen. Yes, yes. Anyway, eventually we went and that was the start of the journey to Mysore.

Mysore, crazy. For ne Indian city incredibly balanced. That such a thing still exists! So is visited from the palace, who once belonged to the Maharadsha all alone, and today the people and by tourists, finally there is the highlight. Sahib road made of me would hergestelt from a place where I could look like thousands Räucherstäbcen vorschwärmte Wed.

As I expected when you leave the palace then a friend of Sahi, everything was a little clearer. How it works, not that I buy something and then I made along the way, had nothing to do so the rest of the day. Met on the classical flute seller, with the typical 'oh, german. Nina Hagen, and of course greeted soforrt losträllerte.

The incense-excursion led me to NER bidi factory, ner Räucherstäbchenfabrikk and NEM Ayourvedischen doctor who seems to know his trade. After an introduction to his craft, which was really influenced by all sorts of intoxicating fragrance oils, I could even buy something. Well, the smell of his presentation I was so with you all day, so no problem.

In the evening I met then NEN other Indians, who with 'oh, Berlin. Pink Floyd played in Berlin! ' saluted. When he already gave beer also expressed preferences for Rio Reiser, well, really a shame that the entire Indian Nina Hagen and Jimmy Eat World fans do not speak German. However, a more relaxed and balanced day, when you look at nich by the nerves can Tourirolle WORKS really well.

Then off to Bangalore today. And the next surprise, one hundred and twenty miles in about two hours. Which is it going, I was overtaken by rapid kahemhah eighty on the highway. Well, new times indicated. So I was in Bangalore before I had a breakfast, so the first opportunity and to enjoy a tantalizing sign 'pizza' was the way out of the Bangalorischen afternoon jam. Unfortunately, There Were there ever any pizza, but only a McDonalds. And, I give here is not proud, but to honestly, I was eating at McDonalds VegyBurger NEN. Neinneinnein does that to, not even at home. It brings nothing, really. The interesting thing about the Erlebnix was only to see women in burqas eat at McDonalds, which is really something. Obviously, With choice of heaven, earth, God, Allah, and the souls of the world and what I remember between which at least more than I'll ever understand. What is ok yes.

and some days have passed, nothing to report. The moped just drive, no problems as long as I am moving up too stupid instead. What happens most often at mid-day morning, when I try the first time on the bike to start a new day. Usually I need forever. What then results in a interresierte amount, known as a mob called themselves to feel that my efforts in Kannada to comment. What course does not really help me.

What helps me now and then is a nice Indian (no women yet) who is taking my bike and shows me that the thing really starts at the first step, because if mans right way. Beautifully das. And good to know that everything is ok with the bike. But who's to blame if I do not (klar!) and not the bike? About bad karma?

To counteract this I have with various Tempelumkreisungen, and even tries a visit. In addition, I have decided to make a personal contribution to the destruction of the mortal sin of alcohol. Well, nevertheless, despite (!), You can not restart the box, I probably still drink a lot before I can expect God's grace.

Now, back to the trip report, I am now about to Mysur, which in turn is close to Bangalore. Gabs on the way stop at Gokarna NEN, after a swim at the beautiful beach next to it (OM Beach) and off we went as planned towards Jog Falls. Of the great days of the biggest waterfall in India can still be seen pictures with movie stars who allowed themselves photographed against the dam drops of only a trickle of water is evidence of new, modern, small times.

At the tourist spot Jog Falls but also made three other tourists who were trainees rather than tourists. Two teenage girls, one from Japan, one from Berlin Schöneberg (klar!), and a boy from France (Paris), serving in Udupi for 10,000 rupees (~ 200EUR) per month including RentabilitatChanged children. Cool. The money remaining in the pay that they can work here, wow! Is almost the same as in praktikabel.org , seems to be really great ne mesh to make money.

And money, that's really a problem. Maybe I ought to own one internship business? I'll take applications like ever receive by mail, so that time is here once I become a businessman. So far siehts actually rather bad, just spend money, make money with wireless networks is not in sight. 'll Start a few more attempts to December, but the projects that I could go I would have to finance it yourself, apparently. Maybe my last trip to the Far East because it is not as long as planned? Besides the fact that coal is not only bad eating it be also time once again to seize a project correctly, I find ...

Apart from the labor troubles here ISTS great, is fun to race around the rest of the area, about 100 km every day and really great roads, the less the better highway, apparently. Currently I am Srivangapatna ne really beautiful area. Therefore, because tomorrow HERE first into a bird sanctuary, nature. Finally, it gibs not so much in Bangalore, and is next on my list. And then look at me, probably Auroville, possibly Trivandrum, depending on what is the ...

And so, I'll still enjoy some of the festival firecrackers, by the way runs degree again matrix cheer computer (that has to be, as the last gabs Die Hard disappears with Bruce Willice on television, all F-words were. A really quiet version) and otherwise is again moderately Diwali new year, but I was denied the big cities and spend the holidays in the country! Happy Diwali!

easy. really. And now is the day I'm around and 180km further south. Beauty here. And actually, everything went perfectly, just easy.

Actually.

Just that I'm sunburned. Vidhy Hattes schonmal hinted at, but I've Wanted to Nich true. The Oeko-sun cream is hopefully at least Oeko. Carrot. Great. And sun protection factor of 50 Fuffzich! Unfortunately today for about two hours, the sun was so blatant that even the best carrot could do nothing against it, now I have ugly stripes on the upper arms. Hopefully the way I go up again in the Baltic Sea Nackich go swimming ...

And, all wet. Namely rained. Most of the day, except the said two hours. And what did not make the rain from above, I'm clever with NEM dive through a newly formed lake - I called him the way, Rene Lake - rescheduled. In the middle of the highway, well, then added a piece of unpaved, and hey presto, the backpack was immersed in water. Sensational!

As already mentioned, otherwise nothing happens further. The bike just seems to go Sun Hmm. Hmm. Well, is all right to be.

And, of course, be diligent all the readers, who have been in the last year pursuing the blog, ask yourself how is it for now again came out of Goa. was indeed the last time did not come so easy to clean.

Well, the progress is unstoppable. While so far only the police in Goa was stressful, now has the Granzwache of Karnataka and also learned to control demand pending. So, show list, once again excelled with my European driving license and send everything was palletized. Where, where, why, why, how, where, why, why, and then sign here (2 bulls) were (Mr. Illegible, aha) and off we went. Fast. Still a cop says 'give me tip, 100 rupee'. I kindly and determined 'no Thank you, 'and from the bike and go. Hee-hee, who has perhaps watched ...

Well, anyway, I am now arrived here in Gokarna, quite late, tomorrow rumschauen times. Finally, here is ne nice beach and when it's enough for me to continue in the mountains to the Jog Falls. Is only 50km away, so it should be to make two or three hours. We shall see ...

PS: It took forever until I came again to the network, so long is finally out with the final entry.

Goa. Goa. Goa. And still Goa. Yeah, today is Saturday and I still do not habs managed to get away from this beautiful, but something Touristenbefuelltem little piece of non-Indian. Although I was close. But then just this, then that

This started quite successful, yesterday morning. I wanted to get even more quickly before leaving for my bike ne insurance, you need something official. And although neither of the foreigners here have a bike and has done all the driving around without, I thought I treat myself to the theater once. So scratch with the right impression and copies to the office, on the second try, but I rebuffed because the bike would have wenisgtens there must have. To the public. That was still the mechanics of the shock absorber hinbasteln no longer, but had to completely change. In addition, can only take out insurance so ne of the owner of the bike, which I'm not officially. Because I no longer get rid of the thing else, so be ch only NEN blank purchase contract, shrill!

The next day, so yesterday, with the bike back down. With the right people talking, and after a while the question of whether Mr. I Mishna (?) Is answered in the affirmative, universal grin at the office, and finally I had something hinundhergebrabbel the note. Look at without the bike. And do not Indian. And top of it without rupees. Wow. Runs so great. So then let me quickly fill up even when times bescheissen for 100RP and back to the house, charging backpack and go.

But then the.

What a speedometer cable that nestles artfully around the front axle was. And quite clear after a new invitation to the mechanic looked. To make my bike from a decent, and already the day was half over again - back, then forth, spare parts get here and there, here and there schweisen - no, no more blundering, with nails Koeopfen.

Afternoon very first test drive in the north of Goa.

Beauty there. On the way, cows, buffalos, elephants (!) And nateurlich seen buses, mopeds and stuff so NEN. Because it was so nice I've been shoving it beeen at a car park at the truck drive off NEN, my degree was Sun What the truck did not really care. My turn signal was not more then, or better, then it was bad, pretty much hung out. And, despite my arm would always look straight ahead to the left, not too finely. What has given me a new conspiracy for pleasant introduced the day with Dr. Joe, my mechanic.

Today everything again disassembled, assembled, hierran kicked, knocked out, everything is now back. And the turn signal is flashing even something gabs before still do not know. But wait! What do I want?

I'm gonna spend the evening alone, and tomorrow, yes tomorrow, so tomorrow, we go off to the south. Actually, India is but just, now look what's going on. And when.
