San Francisco in India

Malte and I say goodbye to our friends in Arambol and head south to Palolem. It only took 4 hours and 4 different local buses (total cost of $4 USD) and we made it. We immediately let a local tout take us to a group of beach huts at a placed called San Francisco. For only $3.25 per day, we got our own huts....nice. It did not take Malte and I long before we made Palolem our home. We met two Swedish guys (Kris "Iceman" and David "Mavrick"), two Israeli girls we had met earlier in Arambol (Tamar and Julie), a [View Full Entry]

Before India with Dr. Carolyn Myss Asia » India » Rajasthan » Jodhpur

Beach

I have to tell you. I grew up shopping with six sisters. Shopping can confuse me. I bought three suitcases and returned one, but lost the receipt so it was complicated, and then bought two pairs of shoes I didn't need on my store credit, from the suitcases. I was going to buy a new washing machine but a friend suggested I buy a digital camera. I'm saving back the washing machine for the photos to upload here--as soon as I buy a camera and figure out how to do it. I'm trusting my washing machine won't go on the blink [View Full Entry]

India B'Ivrit Asia » India » Maharashtra » Mumbai

First off, I have a new phone number here. Please email me (you can do it through the travelblog) or my parents for the number if you need/want to reach me. Sorry I haven't written in so long, there really wasn't much to write about when I was in Chennai. And now for the full entry: **Warning: this entry include a great deal of Jewish references. If you don't understand, please post questions under comments. End of warning.** I think I was studying the wrong language when attempting to learn Tamil. Last Friday night I went to Chabad (the very orthodox [View Full Entry]

out of nepal Asia » India » Uttar Pradesh

police

Nepal's king declared a state of emergency and effectively shut down the independent press with blanket news bans, military patrols at media outlets, and threatened reprisals against journalists. King G imposed a six-month ban on what state radio described as critical reporting on government activities. Soldiers were posted at Nepal's major print and broadcast outlets, controlled television broadcasts, and vetted news articles, according to CPJ sources and international news reports. Internet and telephone communication, including domestic land lines and mobile phones, were cut of [View Full Entry]

Operation India : Mission Accomplished Asia » India » Kerala

Moving On

Phew!!! We did it. Survived ten and a half weeks in India and came out with no Delhi Belly and relatively unscathed. The travelling scars are quickly fading and we have huge smiles on our faces after arriving back in Thailand and getting Thai curries again. We've been dreaming about them for the last month or so. From Rajasthan, we started the long - very long - journey right down the whole of the West Coast to Kanniyakamuri on India's Southern tip. Definitely an adventure. We used planes, we used many trains, we had a hilarious (insane at the time) bus [View Full Entry]

Monk Spirited Away by Security Forces Asia » India » Rajasthan » Jodhpur

not about India or Nepal, but I wanted to post it anyway: http://hrw.org/english/docs/2005/09/17/china11754.htm The incident occurred during a heightened security alert before September 1, when China celebrated the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Tibet Autonomous Region. “Given the poor treatment often meted out to Tibetans in detention, we are very concerned about Sonam’s physical condition.” also, a very vivid website: www.guchusum.org http://studentsforafreetibet.org/downloads/BombardierCartoon.pdf [View Full Entry]

Gateway To India

Lame title I know. It was going to be Mumbai, da da Mumbai, do do do do Mumbai, da da doo. Yeah, yeah. But only me and operators would know how I like to twist song lyrics up. Plus I thought I would be normal for a change and try this approach to getting on the front page of travelblog.org, heh. From Doha the plane wasn’t as good as the previous one, but the food and the company was better. I was next to a Russian guy called Alex and his Turkish wife, they were off to India to practice yoga [View Full Entry]

Ganga Asia » India » Uttar Pradesh » Varanasi

Namaste! I would just like to thank all of you, my family and friends (and maybe some strangers) who read this log of my thoughts while I am away. It really means the world to know that someone is keeping track of me (hehe) and, more importantly, that you are allowing me to share my experience with you. I realize that I don't update half as often as I originally intended. I guess a major reason for this is that sometimes, there are just no words. Daily, I am inundated with new sites, scents, tastes, smells, and feelings; I continuously grapple [View Full Entry]
