Indien Das wichtigste zuerst: Mir gehts gut. Keine gesundheitlichen Probleme, ausser meine Ruecken von dieser sch*** Matratze ;-) An alle die mir mailen wollen. Bitte benutzt momentan die IndianaJonas@gmx.de, die kann ich besser abfragen. Sorry, dass ich erst so spaet schreibe, aber wer die Nachrichten verfolgt hat, kann sich vielleicht denken warum. Fotos liefer ich spaeter noch nach. Aber jetzt mal eins nach dem anderen: Abflug in Zuerich (Freitag 29.7.) Ich habe den Donnerstag Nachmittag noch ein bisschen mit einer jungen Dame von der Swiss geflirtet und mich dadurch auf Platz drei der Warteliste gebracht, dadurch standen die Chancen jetzt doch relativ gut. Die Nacht konnte ich gleucklicherweise bei einem lokalen Mitglied von AIESEC verbringen. Grosses Lob an AIESEC Zuerich an dieser Stelle. Am Abend haben wir natuerliche Zuerich unsicher gemacht. Am naechste... read more

The time has finally come for us to move on from Nagpur -the most normal Indian city we have visited so far. By normal I don’t mean at all that the last few weeks here have been a disappointment - in fact quite the opposite. By just being somewhere off the tourist trail (Napgur gets just one page in our lonely planet guide) you learn about what normal, everyday, Mr and Mrs India and their family get up to. I now know that many Nagpurians have Christmas carols as their mobile phone rings. I know that Army lorries are used here as school buses.

Hooray!! Time to go to India! After enduring what seemed like an interminable period of incredibly boring food, it was time to go somewhere where they used spices!! We had been looking forward to India for a variety of reasons. Apart from the food, there was the culture, the insane traffic, and of course several centuries of history and architecture to look at!! We were also steeling ourselves for the horde of beggars that we imagined descending upon us even as we left the airport... Our lonely planet told us that June is NOT the time to go to India, as this is the really really hot season, but hey, we didn't have a choice but figured that if we could cope with the desert in Tunisia and Egypt, we could cope with anything India could ... read more
