Hey everyone! I'm in Rishekesh. It's such an amazing place! The journey to get here was an interesting one. When I finally got to Dehra Dun I was picked up by a taxi (organised by the Ashram) and was charged a very exensive fare and on top of this they charged me for the trouble they had gone to to pick me up the day before when I was still in Delhi. I figure that nothing else can go against me for a while. Now that i am here nothing is troubling me. It is the most beautiful place. Beautiful people, the Ganga and amazing Yoga and meditation classes. I have made 2 really beautiful friends from Brazil and I have been hanging out with them the last few days. Renata is from Rio and Louis ... read more

Hei – og velkommen til galskapens land, nemlig India. Etter å ha vært her vèl ei uke nå kan vi med hånda på hjertet si at dette landet er sprøtt, rart, vilt, merkelig, crazy og så langt vekk fra livet vårt i Norge som man kan komme. India slutter aldri å sjokkere. Elefanter, kameler, kuer og apekatter. Alle lever de side om side med oss. De er ute på veiene og inne i byene. Trafikken er et kapittel for seg selv. Det finnes absolutt ingen trafikkregler, hvertfall ingen som trenger å overholdes. Her er det lov å sitte 5 stk. på en og samme scooter. Ja, du leste riktig. Det er også lov å drikke alkohol mens man kjører. Setebeltet har vi ikke brukt den siste uka. Ikke fordi vi ikke har hatt lyst. ... read more

Hi everyone, I have had a hectic day today. I arrived for my flight at Kathmandu today at 8am and eventually arrived at 4pm (and it's a 2 hour flight / delays because of the weather).I missed my connecting flight to Dehra Dun this afternoon because of these delays. I am currently staying in the Delhi airport hotel and $240 Australian to get my flight sorted for tomorrow and pay for accommodation. I will be arriving at Dehra Dun at around 9am (fingers crossed) and then travel down to Rishikesh by around lunch time. What an interesting day I have had. I am staying in the most expensive hotel I have ever been in!!! They have special soaps, shampoos etc. A big contrast to what I have been use to. I even used the fitness centre ... read more

Namaste! Etter en lang flytur fra Kenya ankom vi til slutt hovedstaden New Dehli i India. Her er det virkelig store motsetninger i forhold til Norge. Alt er annerledes! Trafikken er et rent kaos. De tuter i hytt og pine og tålmodighet er hvertfall et ukjent ord for dem.. Vi ser stadig nye ting som sjokkerer oss, faktisk mer enn i Afrika. De siste to dagene har vi hatt med oss en privastjåfør som har kjørt rundt og guidet oss på en noe gebrokken engelsk gjennom byen. Og vi har fått med oss mye! Sjåføren vår(hvis navn er ukjent - eller rettere sagt glemt) går rundt med en turban fordi han tilhører en retning innenfor hinduismen som kalles Sikh. Snodige greier! Vi besøkte også et tempel som sikhene gikk til for å be. Skoene måtte vi ... read more

Die Faszination Indien! Ich hatte viel gelesen und gehört, doch erst das Da-Sein zeigt die wahre Gestalt. Ich lande in Delhi, bin vom modernen Flughafen begeistert. Auf der Fahrt im Taxi vom Flughafen sehe ich eine baufällige, ungeordnete Stadt. Ziemlich schnell wird klar, dass der pflegliche Umgang mit Dingen aller Art - Gebäude, Autos, Straßen und letztlich auch mit Menschen - nicht die erste Priorität hat. Das Taxi fällt fast auseinander, und ... Sitzgurte? Der Fahrer lacht und sagt "no no no". Stimmt, wie dumm von mir, die zu erwarten... ;) Das gewohnte Denken bekommt den ersten Dämpfer. Gut so! Dicht an dicht der Verkehr, Platz ist hier nicht. Man fährt vorwärts, wer zuerst fährt, ist vorne, manchmal zählt nur ein Millimeter. Der vielbesungene italienische Fahrstil ist dagegen äußerst zurückhaltend! Und das hier sind Künstler! Denn ... read more

Par quoi débuter…… par le début ?! La veille du départ, on a dormi seulement 3hrs (ou plutôt Phil 0!), après une dernière poutine nocturne. On a eu la chance de passer nos dernières heures avant longtemps avec nos parents, et de prendre nos premières photos. Notre voyage en avion a très bien été; je recommande Swiss Air Line sans aucune hésitation! (Ils donnent plein de chocolat suisse gratos, et triple même la ration quand vous perdez le premier et que vous le retrouvez dans votre unique gilet chaud, fondu au fond d’une poche… bravo Hélène). Comme nous sommes arrivés à Delhi à 1ham, nous avons réservé un hôtel près de l’aéroport, et ce, par téléphone depuis l’aéroport. Bien que Phil ait bien épelé son nom au téléphone pour le chauffeur qui devait venir nous chercher, ... read more
