Flying back, 2010.12.08
A bus to the outskirts of Delhi, then a minibus with two European sadhu-clowns inside, with their forehead painted and Quechua sleeping backs in their hands… A short quarrel at the entrance to the airport building (I didn’t care to print out the ticket reservation, and it seems to be a problem here; furthermore, my […]

Agra, Delhi, 2010.12.07
December 7, 2010
Before I get on the train to Agra, on the platform I meet lots of friendly people whom I educate a little about Poland and Europe, and who in exchange teach me something about India and (finally! I’m so ashamed…) some words in hindi. On the train I meet a delightfully nice family who […]

Goa (Margao, Palolem Beach), 2010.12.02
December 2, 2010
My piece of junk reaches Margao only 4 hours late (on the way the coach staff try to get some extra money from me – luggage handling fee and … handling fee). From hear I head for Palolem beach, recommended by Jankiel, who is already there, waiting. Before I get on the right local bus, […]

Mumbai, 2010.10.30
November 30, 2010
The train from Chennai to Mumbai (25 hours) is cramped but I’m lucky to have my berth for myself. Inside and outside mountains of rubbish are growing – the Hindus never use dustbins. The floor inside the train becomes filled with colours and nobody of the train staff ever cares to clean this mess up. […]

Mahabalipuram, 2010.11.28
November 28, 2010
I take the advice of Kris and skip sightseeing Chennai (formerly known as Madras) and I get on the bus or even two that carry me to Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram) – the kind drivers explain to me where to get off. I only notice the noisiness, chaos and crowdedness of Chennai, as well as a corpse […]

Trivandrum, 2010.11.25
November 25, 2010
Late evening I land in Trivandrum, a city located on the very south of India. Luckily, my strange looking visa doesn’t seem any suspicious to the elderly dust-covered mister sitting at his dusty old desk in that somewhat small and dusty arrival hall. The moment I step out I get surrounded with an army of […]

Singapore, 2010.11.24
November 24, 2010
In the evening, after 4.5 hours ride on a coach (surprisingly fast pass through Malaysia-Singapore border; though maybe I should not be surprised after all – every evening half the Singapore leaves the place to stay for night in a cheaper place on the other side) I get to the city-state, international center for all […]

Malacca, 2010.11.23
November 23, 2010
Malacca is a must-see on Malaysia tourist map. Old colonial streets, eclectic Hinduist, Muslim and Buddhist temples… And – first of all – the Chinatown that has a lot more charm than old boroughs of real Chinese towns. Here in Malaysia, the Chinese put a lot more effort into preserving their own culture. The façades […]
