Insightful
Hello Sir,I am an Ex Student from NIT Rourkela .I Did my undergraduate studies here besides I am a local.This October I would be heading to Darmstadt to do my Masters there.I was actually searching for some seniors from NIT Rourkela who have gone on to do masters in Germany when I was directed to your blog.It was quite interesting to read that,your friend is one of the firsts to do her PhD at my Alma Mater. I liked your take on living in Rourkela and how peaceful and yet happening could be small towns like Rourkela.Regarding the cost of living and disparity of incomes ,you were spot on in your observations.Yes there are people who cannot afford a two meals a day and there are folks who would buy 1000$ worth laptop.

Inspiring!
Congratulations for living your dream, and thank you for sharing your journey. The stories on Japan are well written and I would like to return to read the rest of them.

Living The Dream
How I envy you. Thank you for the stories, very inspiring.

Rock throwing
For all the noise the local Chinese made it is lucky they know better than throw rocks into the valley just to hear the loud noise they made splitting into pieces 'cos the valley will be filled up considering the Chinese population!! Also I thought you complained so much about noise so why create it when you can finally have silence?

Welcome back!
Hey, sieh's mal so: Es wird grad voll fett Frühling :-)

All the best to you, Ben.
What can I say? I bid you good luck, as I am reminded of how I "journeyed" as an armchair traveler with you . Those memories will stick, and serve you well in the future. It may be the end of the journey, for now, but I am sure there would be chances even for short trips in the future. Now, that would be a completely different perspective for a RTW long-term traveler like you. Drop us a line from time to time when you do. [:)]

Was macht du denn jetzt?
Hi Ben, mensch das ist ja ne Ewigkeit her!!! Wie geht es dir denn wieder mit festem Boden unter den Füßen? Wäre schön mal wieder was von dir zu hören. Grüße Jens

These photos are beautiful!! Love the steam engine~

It's been a pleasure reading your blogs.........hopefully this won't be the end, just another break!

big thanks!
Hi Ben, Thanks for sharing your stories and impressions via your blog and photostream! It's clear that you enjoyed your trip(s) and I want you to know that as a reader I did enjoy it as well, I'm sure your blog will be an important source of inspiration/information to many world travellers in the future (hopefully including me). And I would be glad if you wouldn't stop writing, because even after coming back I guess the adventure isn't over completely? Must be sort of a "new life"... and maybe you have some more advices and experiences about things you learnt during your travels to share. (I as a german especially wonder about the bureaucracy stuff, Arbeitsamt, gesetzliche KV, Bank, blah blah) So, thanks again and all the best for your future, be it in Germany or somewhere else - and like the other commentors I'm quite confident that it's not "the end" but just a vacation, the travel bug will definitely bite again :-) Felix
