Back to the Real World

Posted by on 21 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: India 06

cimg0055_small.jpg Should I be happy? I'm in the middle of the extension ;) Upon arrival micht welcomes the indication 'flight delayed due to operational reasons' delayed. 4.5 hours. Operational Reasons, beautiful soothing explanation.

So ne night and beaten on the Delhi airport to the ears. At five we went wrong, the connecting flight from Moscow to Berlin was transferred simultaneously with, instead of 10.30 is now back to D 16.55Uhr agriculture. And so I see the old home is now right at the darkest day of the year in the dark. Well, to do nothing.

cimg0059_small.jpg I just sit in Moscow Scheremetevo, we were just before the departure of the original flight because, as we have bearings taken that's too late. And if that was worked out with the bags then, who knows. Six hours transit zone, are minus 13 degrees outside, shame I can not get out that.

Found shortly after noon that the good-morning-flight to Berlin was still there - Departure time 12.20. But we were no longer on board, because the food was already on board and would not be enough, so much for absurd reasons. Übrigns flew the machine is still none the less, because in Berlin crass weather. What is going on because there?

I want to at least use the Internet, 25euro for 2 hours. The spin here completely. So nothing with live-blogging.

Know when to sit around and Elke Tyll. First, mathematician / physicist at the Technical University of Berlin and the Max Planck Institute in Leipzig, a focal point is the quantum computer. Elke is a teacher in Brandenburg, alo much babble and the afternoon so rumbekommen but pretty good. But now I'm totally tired, hopefully sleep on the plane again for a while and then celebrate in the evening to six in Berlin holiday at the end. It's that's it then. And now is a little less hectic blogged ;)

Delhi, last day

Posted by on 20 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: India 06

Will get paid after arrival in Delhi a prepaid taxi, 160rp, and the info that we take out one of the black and yellow taxis. Take! If it were that easy sometimes. They wanted all of us do not, no idea how to 'take taxi' is one. After calming chaotic re-in-Delhi-phase and then somehow get one assigned to come up fine Akhai and Soso.

Beautiful, a little bit to be at home in Delhi. Soso and Akhai live just outside in the middle of Delhi, but not in the chaos of the Main Bazaar.

The last day to take things quietly been shopping for lunch and some stress-free absorbed the last impressions of Delhi. Soso, meanwhile, had quit her job, has had his first vacation Akhai enjoyed Christmas cheer not only for Soso & Akhai at home, Delhi is also colder winter, nearly 20 degrees, and from time to Geblinke Christmassy. Ne slow match.

In the evening, Hugo then 'Age of Empire' has been installed on the local network, then Akhai and Hugo were understandably busy ;) I've got a DVD-Video Punjabi viewed, by the bye too rarely heard music.

A few beers and a delicious dinner later we went to the airport. Sure, the money for the taxi was not enough, of course. I had 255rp, Taxometer earnings were about 370rp. Luckily all know Akhai the cameraman, then paid with his name Gutner ;)

And from the airport, India, byebye!

Farewell to Goa

Posted by on 19 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: India 06

What a farewell party. Quite unspectacular the place again Pine Cafe, the Beach Shack (so hot here the beach restaurants) where we were before the whole day already. Creatures of habit. Fred, Daniel, Hugh, Buzz (that's the name of Briton), his girlfriend, three Estonia, two elderly people, ohoh. Much eaten, drunk, smoked, chatted and laughed.

For the first time the folks from Pine Cafe outbid, which have previously been listless. And increased my bill in the Pine Cafe around 1000rp/20eur thought, not that the issue here. But Goa is not just India.

cimg0020_small.jpg cimg0022_small.jpg

Celebrated long day yesterday, get up early, saw the light of day shortly after 9th And no headaches or anything, everything is perfect. We went to all other super is probably training thing. In any case, the last half a day spent at the beach, bathed again in the Arabian Sea and goodbyes. Well, certainly not forever, but in any case for almost a year.

With NEM taxi to the airport, there does IndiGo, the airline of our choice worse. 'The call center has canceled your booking.' As occurred in recent cases of fraud with credit cards. And to be sure, wanted to see the credit card now, what a nonsense. Lucky I had booked with my own, what if the cash the money and then not cough up the ticket, because someone else has paid for ... well, everything for our safety.

After some additional security features - the latest hit here is the no-liquids-on-board control - now I'm sitting in the plane to Delhi. The return journey begins. The route, which I brought with Hugo in NEM months on nem bike behind me, now two and a half hours back.
Tonight at 9 in Delhi, and then to Akhai Soso tomorrow and then again in the Delhi-NEN Abschiedstag chaos.

# Is full, the new luxury airplane, not so ne second-hand solution like EyanAir & Co. If I had not expected. #

Goa, yes, still

Posted by on 18 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: India 06

cimg0004_small.jpg Evening was then decided that was canceled in typical Indian style (or rather Goa-style?) Is the mini-conference in collage Mapusa. So nothing with mesh-declare on the last day is a pity, but somehow not too bad, I can spend the day at the beach. To get the same again yesterday delicious eaten on the beach, KingPrawns, yummy yummy.

Contrary to the Indian case of intentional dynamics I've kept myself in my day and most of the day on the beach and read. Clearly also swam, looked to see what makes it so you stop at the beach (except Sport).

Afternoon, then the sad moment, I've brought my bike to Jojo's, NEN Enfiled mechanic will be one of the deaf now the following 10 months my bike. The first farewell, this time of my life biker. But also a nice feeling to leave something here, and so the next time even a little bit more to be here at home. Until then, however, still some water flowing through the passage, we see Vedas.

Goa, Candolim silent

cimg0127_small.jpg Last night after night-market yet with Hugo and British NEM, Bila or so through the night and chatted quite a lot of local beer tasted.

Go after a very short night, completely flat this morning, the morning was thus first beach recreation. Read swum, not many days like this. And once again learned that alcohol is the enemy of relaxation on the following day.

Shiv from Trivandrum has now arrived here, too, has had a birthday yesterday and was lucky to flat as we like.

cimg0133_small.jpg cimg0134_small.jpg

In the afternoon I suddenly saw from the balcony from NEN kitesurfers. I do not believe, finally! Then the kite was away, so off to the beach found and searched.

Chatted a bit with the type, a local, he says there ne kitesurf school here, but the boss makes holiday degree. In Arambol (or so north) here for more courses. Cost about 8000rp/160eur for scarce for a week, so not so much as in D Bilig agriculture. And the season is January / February, then wind is right. Good to know, I'll do well next year in Rostock NEN course.

# The taxi driver, Annan said today that he will go early to church. Not a motorcycle, but by car, is now too cold early in the winter. Well, only 30 degrees or so, interesting perspective. #

Goa, Candolim Day 5

Posted by on 16 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: India 06

Last night there with Hugo Firefly looked pretty cozy and end can. This morning again started with a swim in the Arabian Sea, then sought the pro-Enfield, which I will assume my bike.

Some hinundher, because he was not the degree, but some time later came around and everything no problem, 150rp/3eur month. it is placed under the box and beautifully wrapped in the monsoon, so that next autumn I again get my bike like new.

cimg0115_small.JPG cimg0120_small.JPG cimg0124_small.JPG

Then after Mapusa for shopping and the beach was too warm for activities or further, bathed, read, chatted, chill completely comfortable. It somehow also found that it is not until Wednesday to Delhi, but already Friday, another day off and the departure is approaching slowly.

Tonight ready to hit the Night Market, a local tourist-shopping event, but probably quite nice, we'll see.

Goa, Candolim Day 4

Posted by on 15 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: India 06

Of course, one must also look at the times around here. Drum appointment in the morning with Daniel at the beach for breakfast. Actually, Hugo wanted to, but it was still too flat from the Porte wine the previous evening. Been swimming and biking from the last tour, but still see time NEN temple. But the way was the goal, and was immediately blocked at the beginning: (

Had my bike parked here before NEM hotel next door, was probably not so smart. Two faulty tires are just not well, more to it. First Schlauchflickwallah to repair and mature, while the beautiful breakfast and start the day but so slowly.

Lunch we went really going on, what a romantic reminder of the south repairing breaks on the bike trip direction. First to Malaya Lakeview (or something similar), then a pause and then said to the temple. The Lake View Restaurant eating, super nice area. Right after I had parked my bike and degrees times 50 yards away, a street dachshund mixed with NEM the partial tree and piss on my helmet, (Well, welcome to Goa.

cimg0089_small.JPG cimg0095_small.JPG cimg0113_small.JPG

Nevertheless, the region enjoyed, so even a walk around the lake afterwards. Eventually, we were around three quarters, went farther in the water we want to risk not natural. The only way out was held back an overgrown jungle path slightly above long. Brave as I was out front, but abandoned gelich again, the plants looked too prickly to hold bad. Back out of the brushwood, and everything itches. Really, it itches, itches, itches, damn incredible arms, legs, the whole body itches like crazy. In the evening I learn from the locals that there are trees whose pollen is toxic, what's the nonsense? Incredibly, after this attack the rotten nature was nothing more to do with myself. Everything was just itching to find the temple, we have then postponed again and are still ne nice ne island tour over back.

This has the itch is given to the lucky after a good shower, but things had to be washed and even my backpack is now Juckquelle ne ... What a day.

Goa, Candolim, Day 3

Posted by on 14 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: India 06

The beach. Internettag. Not much else done, must go without him some day ;) A nice book started, 'River of Gods "by Ian McDonald. Science fiction in India is the future. Did not really read much, but I like the idea of ​​times already.

Hugo afternoon came after he had learned that Goa is not a city, meaning there is no bus station in Goa, he has found the way to good ;) His plans are to go to Trivandrum already history, went to Bangalore in January. The shop of Danesh Hugo fits better, Bangalore is probably rather be paving. A little moody the whole, but he must know.

cimg0085_small.JPG cimg0086_small.JPG cimg0084_small.JPG

Towards evening the cozy beer drinking something out of hesitated, because I do with my Enfield even after a bearing space F for the look wanted. Fred knew because what we had agreed on in the evening. Was ne Indian appointment, I was not entirely clear. Well, was not too late to get drunk and then I made it strong. ;)

# With Cletha (or so), the Kneipierstochter babble. Nice woman. Learn that Monday is ne demonstration in the capital, because any development plan provides for the felling of trees here. I have not yet entirely clear how, where and why, but the locals make NEN protest against it, but I'm here #

Goa, Candolim Day 2

Posted by on 13 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: India 06

As might be expected today ignores the morning and sees only in the early afternoon heat, the light of day. Yesterday also still long been in the restaurant of Fred, enjoyed some c-base atmosphere. For a few weeks is the Goa-mesh, so finally available here online. Although not on the beach but the beach is visible from here, but also what is. On the beach at least NICH in our favorite cafe, next to already. ;)

cimg0079_small.JPG So first looked at the area, once went to Calangute and myself missed NEN sunburn. Is funny here, with NEM 500RP bill can pay you anywhere, but can write anywhere. So a license not sufficient for a while ;)

Running back on the beach, of course, not been so stupid again to let me into buying ne massage and determines twenty times confirmed that the ladies well I can safely massage but got no need. Sure!

cimg0082_small.JPG Afternoon in the apartment and spent lamps for Fred tinkered restaurant. The apartment is great, right behind the dunes, balcony with sea view (I sleep on the balcony, the sound of the sea in the ear) and even negative kitchen with refrigerator. Allrdings must first learn even more shopping, the fridge is always empty.

Nice evening sitting on the beach, cozy here. Not the backpacker / Party in Goa, but a very comfortable home to be here. Hugo comes tomorrow, I hope you like it here too.

Goa, Candolim

Posted by on 12 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: India 06

cimg0059_small.JPG The term experiment has now folded. In the evening back to Karnataka, did not want to wait anymore and would rather have a hotel in Karwal taken.

Had early on pure Goa, have not time NEN breakfast coffee and waved it out the same by nem bulls at the border post was. Has looked at my papers, driving licenses, registration of the bike, purchase contract and then wanted 500RP, because the contract was not completed and that my bike was not so real. (As if that role does ne) Well I do not have to debate and large ne receipt requested, we were already at 200rp - it can also regulate the way - but I was still stupid. So change topic, something tells me and then passed to the scrounge elsewhere.

cimg0061_small.JPG cimg0062_small.JPG cimg0066_small.JPG

Fred reached in Goa who lives between Candolim and Calangute. Daniel from Freifunk / Berlin was still there, had built the mesh here. I live in the apartment next to Fred, and a balcony overlooking the sea, beautiful and luxurious. Internet and even if the server has power.

In the afternoon at the beach - when the heat is little alternative. There, I saved my money can abluchsen Goa-entry again. Anita, ne beautiful Indian woman has missed me ne massage. 300rp. Toenails cut 350rp sounded more like 50rp for more I clean your feet. Clever Anita came naturally to 650rp, but when I get good customer 100RP discount. Well, the Goa-rip had thus found their victims.
