Jestesmy wChiang Mai. Wyluzowalysmy sie porzadnie od czasu jak upal i wilgotnosc daje nam sie we znaki. Myslalam ze zrobie jakies wycieczki w dzungle ale, gdziez tam, przez dwa dni nie moglam zwlec sie z lozka. W glowie wiruje jak po kilku piwach. Odstawilam wiec Doxycykline za rada tutejszego lekarza. Chaing Mai jest znane z wielu Temples i pieknych tras trekkingowych. Pojechalysmy zobaczyc slonie, fabryke, gdzie wyrabiaja jedwab, gdzie hoduja storczyki itp. widzialysmy tutejszy projekt dzikich zwierzat w nocy. Wkleje pozniej pare dodatkowych zdjec, ale nie dzis. We are in Chiang Mai totally relaxed. Heat and humidity arequite high so I had to stay 2 days in the bed to adjust to the climate. I had a plan to do some jungle trekking but after 7th week of Doxycycline I felt sick. I decided to terminate ... read more

Life is not easy for women in India . At least those ones who we met. Typical woman from middle or lower class gets married by arrangements. If there is a poor family, female kid is not as welcome as a male newborn. When a girl, I repeat a girl!! is 16 family choose a husband for her. If a family doesn't have a money to give daughter for the new marriage life then she has to work for that later. We have met a lot of women in our age or younger on the beach. All of them came from poor families so therefore we have this information from. Most of them gets married when they were about 16-17y's.When they are about 25 they already have 4-5 children. We were courious why it is them ... read more

Asia » India » Goa » Palolem November 27th 2007

Hello everyone, This is the heaven...though probably I haven't seen the heaven yet.. From Calangute (North Goa) we moved to south Goa to Palolem. In Calangute we had a great time mainly being on the beach and dining or partying with Australians. There was one party and we came back home 6am. Surprisingly I wasn't tired so much (?) probably because there is nothing to make you tired ;-) It was a decent club called Mambo in Baga (village next to Calangute). Yes it was great ;-))))) If you ever try Nirvana restaurant in Calangute- you won't regret. Food is excellent and very cheap. Service very friendly. Try tomato soup or banana porridge or kings prawns or....whatever it is really good. We stayed in guest house. W had basic room but everything what we need and ... read more

Asia » India » Goa » Calangute November 20th 2007

Yeeppie... Now we can talk about holiday.... We arrived to Goa yesterday late at night with a group of fantastic Australians which we met at the station. The train was late 3 hours what apparently is normal here so we had a great fun watching people at the station. Actually they had a great fun to watch us... Australians are so funny and there is one disable guy James called sometimes by his friends "legs" as he has some major problems with leg's muscles since he was born. He is a hero for me, he managed to jump on the parachutes, and he is a great and very happy guy. To travel by train it is a big thing and special if you want to go to the toilet. There is a hole in the floor, ... read more

Asia » India » Maharashtra » Mumbai November 18th 2007

Mumbai wyglada jak restki tego co bylo kiedys wspaniala cywilizacja. Teraz jest brudne i przeludnione. Na ulicach widac tysiace zebrakow, widzialysmy ludzi mieszkajacych w domkach z blachy falistej, czy w rurach....Miasto okryte jest mgla, co w rzeczywistosci jest smogiem. Jest tu trudno oddychac, jako ze powietrze bardzo gorace i zageszczone. Co jest jednak zadziwiajace to ludzie. Cieplo i serdecznosc przebija z ich twarzy i nie widac smutku ani szczypty agresji. Tak jakby nie wiedzieli ze mozna zyc inaczej. Dostep do morza niemozliwy, woda jest bardzo brudna, mysle ze duzo ludzi korzysta z tej wody podczas porannej toalety :-o Jak to jest jednak mozliwe ze to wlasnie stad wywodza sie wspaniale umysly, ktore maja wklad w rozwoj cywilizacji ludzkiej? WHO RULES MUMBAI? Kto rzadzi Mombajem? A kto rzadzi rzadzacymi? AND who rules the rules? It is not ... read more

Asia » India » Maharashtra » Mumbai November 17th 2007

Wow...I am in. I am in Asia, I am in Mumbai. We flew to Mumbai on Friday night. Luckily the guy form hotel was waiting for us so we were saved ;-) Hotel is quite decent, we have everything what we need. There is a hudge bed, nice and clean bathroom. We have good room service. As there is no breakfast included we order our food to the room. Today they brought us Milk TEA ainstead of, mint tea which didn't taste very nice. First morning in Mumbai was a shock for me. We went for a walk just to see where we are. I bought a map, but even me (who I consider the best map reader) got lost in the jungle of the streets and mini streets. City is pretty dirty, life is going ... read more

Europe » United Kingdom » England » Greater London » Tooting Bec November 4th 2007

This is my first entry. I just logged in...wow. I wonder which language I am going to use? I think I will blog in both: Polish and English, for all my friends and family. I am still in London, getting ready for my big trip. First stop in Mumbai. I hope Sima's father will organize someone to pick us up from the airport. Well I am open for surprises as well ;-)) I feel like my head is spinning around, too much thoughts, what I have done, what I have to do yet, who to meet, when and what time. I hate clocks and organisers but I guess I have to get use to it and very quick. Ok I think this is fine for my first trial entry. Now in Polish: uhhh To jest moje ... read more
