Travel Day 894 – Kolkata, INDIA It was Sunday and our last full day in Kolkata, but instead of rushing around and doing many things, we decided to rather have a nice relaxed last day and do as little as possible… We actually didn’t make it out of bed and out of the hotel until […]
Travel Day 893 – Kolkata, INDIA After the quite day yesterday while trying to find a decent place to stay, today we decided to take it easy and so we had a slow start of the day… First we had some nice chai and egg-toast on the street and then we slowly made our way […]
Travel Day 892 –Kolkata, INDIA For the longest time I couldn’t quite decide what to do next and when to do it, but after the realization that we could only have a shitty room in our current hostel for the next couple of days, we finally decided to move downtown to touristic Sudder Street… So […]
Travel Day 891 – Kolkata, INDIA After arriving late in the hostel for the past couple of days, meaning after 10pm, we felt that sightseeing could probably be done more easily while staying in the center of the city and so we decided to make a move and find a new place in the backpacker […]

Travel Day 887 – Kolkata, INDIA This day felt at first a little bit empty due to the fact that it was my first day in India without my teacher and without any program, but on the other hand it was the day of the Zakir Hussain concert in Kolkata… : ) Since the very first day that […]
Travel Day 886 – Kolkata, INDIA Today was the big day of the final Tablaphilia concert and this time it was set to be on stage in the Indian music capital Kolkata… The day actually started as all the other concert days with the only benefit that we didn’t have to be at the meeting […]
Travel Day 885 – Kolkata, INDIA Tomorrow the final Tablaphilia concert is scheduled to be in Kokata, so today was the very last chance for the final rehearsal… Unfortunately the only room available was the little classroom of my teacher and everybody had to fit in there to make the rehearsal work. For the final […]
