Travel Day 1140 – Yangon to Bagan, MYANMAR It was my Arrival Day in Myanmar and I was only waking up to the realization that something had to be done… The hotel I was staying at came recommended by other travellers because it was supposed to have a 10 USD dorm room. Technically it did […]
Travel Day 1110 – Colombo, SRI LANKA It was finally my first full day, my Arrival Day, in Sri Lanka, but something didn’t seem quite right… Actually, a few things didn’t seem quite right, but the first one was that Sri Lanka didn’t feel like India at all. I was obviously aware of the fact […]
Travel Day 1082 – Bangkok, THAILAND It was already my second day in Bangkok and it seemed about time to start dealing with the infamous Khao San Road… The problem was that Khao San Road was nothing but a Thai version of what Thamel was for Kathmandu, only that here there were more alcohol, more […]
Travel Day 1081 – Bangkok, THAILAND Considering that I couldn’t wait to get up and eat some Pad Thai, I had a really hard time to even wake up and leave the bed today… After all the months in India and Nepal, I was so used to going to bed early and getting up at […]
Travel Day 992 – Delhi to Kathmandu, NEPAL After spending 4 ½ months in India, I was finally flying to Nepal and I was especially happy about that after the intense heat of the past weeks. But how happy I really was, I only came to realize when the plane landed in Kathmandu… While I […]
Travel Day 981 – Villupuram to Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA It was our Arrival Day in Tiruvannamalai and even if we still had problems pronouncing the name of this place, we basically had come for two reasons, Arunachala, the sacred Shiva Mountain and the famous Ramana Ashram… Our overnight train ride ended for us in […]
Travel Day 957 – Amritapuri to Varkala, Kerala, INDIA Today was finally an Active Travel Day again and after more than three weeks in the ashram, I was quite excited to be moving again… Since I was by now used to getting up early, I checked out of the ashram at 6am and tried to […]
Travel Day 929 – Bangalore, Karnataka, INDIA My 12 hour overnight train ride had been pretty uneventful and after some decent sleep I arrived in Bangalore in the morning… Luckily this time around the train had arrived to a decent hour as well and Bangalore had been the last stop, so everything was pretty smooth […]
Travel Day 915 – Fort Cochin, Kochi, Kerala, INDIA It was our Arrival Day in Kerala and in terms of arrival in Kochi, it was much to early my personal taste… The train was scheduled to arrive at 4am in the morning and since Kochi wasn’t the final destination on this train, we had to […]
Travel Day 901 – Chennai, Tamil Nadu, INDIA It was our Arrival Day in Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu and it was a really early one since our train arrived at 4am in the morning… Obviously this was the wrong time to be negotiating a fair price for a rickshaw or a taxi because […]
Travel Day 896 – Puri, Orissa, INDIA After our Overnight Travel on the train from Kolkata, it was our Arrival Day at the coast of Orissa and at the beach of Puri… Unfortunately it was quite an early arrival since our train finished its rattling journey as at 5am in the morning. There was barely […]
Travel Day 862 – Kolkata, INDIA Yesterday it wasn’t until late in the evening that I finally found my teacher, but besides being able to sit in a rehearsal, at least I got a hint of was going to happen over the next couple of weeks… Well, actually I really didn’t get too much information […]
Travel Day 855 – Makati, Manila, PHILIPPINES Today was my full Arrival Day in the Manila and in comparison to Hawaii it was a really humid and sweaty one… When I stepped out on the street, I became aware of the fact that it had been over two years already since I was last in […]
