An amazing country where the bus driver stops in the middle of the road in between villages when he sees that you are trying to take a picture, or stops your connecting bus in the middle of the road , so you can catch it and get faster to your destination. Where the people who sits on the public transport holds the heavy burdens of those who standing ( from bags to kids ; ) Where no matter where you go, you will be greated with smiles. Where everybody is happy to talk to you and they are happy to just do that. Where when it rains a total stranger will share his or her umbrella or invite you in for a tea. Where you can rent a bike and if you don't use it, the ... read more

I have wondered around the beach in Madras, had a glimpse of the famous Bollywood, but after all, Tamil Nadu's Capital was much too congested and noisy to my taste, so I headed to the beach. I have spent 2 relaxing weeks in Mamallapuram where I admired some Pallava ruines and temples, but mainly I just enjoyed reading and chilling for awhile giving my stomach a rest from chilly and curry ( which , I must confess, by now is not so amusing and I got a bit bored of ...) so I enjoyed myself -and stuffed- in the Western tourist orientated restaurants featuring Pizzas, Burgers and the likes : ))) Körüljártam Madrast, bekukkantottam a Hollywoodi filmgyártás kulisszatitkai közé, de mivel Tamil Nadu fővárosát túlnyüzsgőnek találtam becéloztam a tengerpartot, hol 2 hétig pihentem Pallava romok és ... read more

I wondered around the streets of this magical city. I have seen beautiful buildings left from the Brittish Era, well kept gardens, friendly people. However I also have seen misery, families living on the streets, infants crying in hunger and countless beggars... but I must say I also have seen hope. Many NGO's working hard to change things around here to improve living standards. The city which gave home to Tagore , and it's name linked forever to our Dearly Beloved Mother Teresa is truly inspiring. Csavarogtam egyet e varázslatos város útvesztőjében. Kopottas épületek ma már csak emlékeztetőül állnak a Brit Királyság hagyatékaként. Láttam szépen rendben tartott parkokat, Múzeumokat, és a csodálatos Viktória emlékműt. Láttam azonban nyomort is, éhségtől síró csecsemőket kórosan sovány felnőtteket, utcán lakó családokat és milliónyi kold... read more

For the first timer India can be rough. So I decided to take it slow. After Darjeeling I headed north towards Sikkim to do some trekking and get to know this remote part of the Himalayas. After a couple of days in Gangtok I headed to the Western part of Sikkim to complete what they call the Monastic Trek. Unfortunately the Weather was not the best so I had no views of Kangchendzonga at all, but this fact didn't stop me to walk up and down the hillsides. The most charming of Sikkim is its people and I have been lucky to get to know some of them. I have been invited to a kitchen to see how a 15 years old boy prepares the Thali with his 10 years old Sous Chef( Indian staple food ... read more

After Nepal, Bhutan was a real breath of fresh air much needed. From the first minute after I have left Tribhuvan Intl Airport I knew that I wont regret my hasty decision. The Flight rewarded me with beautiful views of the Himalayan range, the peaks Mt Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Kanchendzonga stood in the sunshine while we flew over Sikkim and Darjeeling. If I tell you that Bhutan is different, you will say, oh yeah you've said that in every single country you have visited so far... and you are right, But this time it is something really special tho. Even the airport is different. Just as every building I have seen in the Kingdom the airport too has been built bhutanese style whitewashed with beautifully painted wooden windows and ornaments . Upon arrival Airport employees ... read more
