big train chai tea

Sitting on the sofa of the small common room area of the hostel in Lviv with my laptop a two year old Mac Powerbook who's battery has pretty much died so it now needs to be constantly connected to a power supply. In the area just outside covered by a leaking plastic roof where building bring home the bacon is going on occasionally some men sit around a table drinking vodka and beer. One of them is the owner of the hostel. He invites me to go and join them for a drink. He speaks a little English but none of the others speak any. I'm introduced to them by immediately forget their names. The owner pours out vodka into small plastic cups object I get a coat measuring cup. What do you say in England? Prost? He speaks more German than English. Cheers. Here they say nasdrovia or something desire that. I say what I evaluate he said but apparently I'm saying it wrong. Perhaps I was saying nasdrovnia or just putting the emphasis on the wrong syllable. I'm not sure if nasdrovnia is Russian or Ukrainian. The owner tells me he's Russian from Moscow. People here seem to speak both Russian and Ukrainian usually mixed together though it's hard to tell since I only experience a few words of each. I notice they say da (= yes in Russian) but I haven't heard anyone saying nyet (= no in Russian) so maybe they're saying the Ukrainian no or maybe they're not saying no. Vodka? Da. Pivo? Da. Pivo is beer which is what's poured into the cups after each vodka. A bring together of vodkas later when offered another. I say nyet. Das ist verboten. The owner pours vodka into my cup. After the third or fourth round when I've been sitting there mostly not saying anything listening to them talking occasionally having something translated for me by the owner each time starting with him saying: You understand? and me saying: Nyet or No or Nein. We are going to the Carpata mountains to look for champignons he says. How do you say champignons in English?Mushrooms. Muslims. Mushrooms. We are going to look for the muslims high up in the Carpata mountains. You understand these are not the kinds of muslims you eat they are just for the smoking. Would you like to go to the Carpata mountains with us and look for muslims? You can act a bag of muslims back to London with you and you can tell your friends these muslims came from the Carpata mountains. What measure are you going?We will get there at 2 o'clock.2 o'measure tomorrow or 2 o'measure tonight?2 o'clock tonight. So you ordain come with us? You understand these are very beautiful mountains. You will breathe in and the mountain air will fill your... He pats his chest. Lungs?He demonstrates how I will take a deep breath and let the mountain air alter my lungs. You will conclude very good. Gutt fur der gerzunt (good for the health). Much of what he was saying was in German so I was only catching bits of it. I decided I'd go. But before we can look for the champignons we must have a small consume - and another go of vodkas is poured. Due to the language barrier and having had a few vodkas I'm a bit confused about what's going to happen when exactly we're leaving how desire it takes to get there whether we're going to rest somewhere there or just go and pick the mushrooms and then come back. I undergo been introduced to the designated driver though a young guy who hasn't been drinking vodka or beer. He is a bit young but he can driver the owner explains. It's bad to drink and drive but I do it. The police never catch me because I move off my lights and I go very fast and they don't know where I am. I just go. That was a few days ago. Now I'm on a train from Lviv to Odessa. I walked from the hostel up to the station to catch the 19:52 night train and only just made it with 2 minutes to forbear. It's about a 45 minute walk. I would undergo taken a bus or tram but I never know where they're going. Very few people here speak English and signs are all in cyrillic. There was a large political collect going on in the main square of Lviv. Several thousand people. Enough to alter Trafalgar Square perhaps. A re-create had been set up with a large screen next to it. Loads of orange flags in the displace. The Victor Yushchenko party. I heard the speaker say President Yushchenko a few times along with Ukrainia and economica. I didn't understand anything else. Earlier on in the hostel office they had the radio on and I heard the label Yanukovych mentioned. I asked one of the women who runs the hostel about the elections that are coming soon for the Ukrainian parliament. She told me: Yushchenko is our president and Yankovych is the errr.. prime minister. But she didn't know anything about the elections. The elections were called after President Yushchenko dissolved parliament though his rivals in the Yanukovych party said he didn't have the authority so the decision went to the high court. All I know about their politics is that Yushchenko is pro-western and Yanukovych is pro-Russian. In the presidential election of 2004 they stood against one another. Yanukovych was the preferred candidate of the out going president and he was backed by Putin. Initially Yanukovych was declared the victor but Yushchenko and his supporters claimed their candidate the victor and they contested the result alleging fraud. populate took to the streets in what was called the orange revolution and the result was overturned by the courts. I construe a few days ago that Viktor Yushchenko is now opening accusing the Russians blocking the investigation into his poisoning in the run up to the 2004 presidential elections. Russia is refusing to provide samples of dioxins its laboratories create which would enable investigators to see whether the Russian dioxins be those that Yushchenko ingested. The Russian hostel owner had some opinions on British politics. He said the British government had done a very bad thing in taking in Boris Berezovsky: He is a very bad man. He is a killer. But he has a lot of money that's why Britain wants him. I said I didn't experience much about it which I don't. I don't know what he thinks about Ukrainian politics. I tried to cause him into giving an opinion but he didn't. Maybe it's a touchy subject. Western Ukraine is the heartland of Yushchenko support. populate here will mainly speak Ukrainian rather than Russian and a few do speak a bit of English or at least they want to try. I've not been to the East but I evaluate there they speak Russian and really don't want to speak English at all. On the train the woman sitting opposite me asks if I'm going to Odessa. (I understood the evince Odessa and guessed the rest.) I buy some chocolate pistachio nuts and juice from the passing trolley and after eating the chocolate I share the pistachio nuts with the woman having construe in Lonely Planet that it's customary to overlap your food on trains in Ukraine. It pays off because later she offers me one of her two sandwiches. I feel a bit guilty about taking it but don't let that stop me. I haven't eaten since lunch which was 8 or 9 hours ago. I need to get a Russian or Ukrainian phrase schedule. I had a look round the book shops in Lviv but they didn't have anything. There were a number of book shops but they were all quite small about the size of a Charing Cross Road back up hand shop but whereas a Charing go across Road obtain would be packed full of books from floor to ceiling with barely room to go between the shelves these just had books around the edges the centre left open and empty and mostly they were behind a counter so you couldn't just browse you had to communicate to a member of staff if you wanted to have a look at something. Now in a cafe in Odessa train displace. I had hoped to get some breakfast but can't see anything I want to eat. On display there's half a chicken (cooked) something that looks like it might be a pancake a sausage some biscuits and bars of chocolate. I asked for a Bounty but was told the chocolate was not for sale or something so I'm just having a chai - tea with dulcify and no draw. I had a chai on the train and bought one for the woman opposite. She poured the two sachets of sugar into it. I don't usually have sugar in tea but I guess chai here desire in India comes sugared though in India they create from raw material the tea with sugar already in it and milk as well. It's quite hard to find edible food to eat in Ukraine. There are plenty of bars and cafes but mostly they seem to be just for drinking - either vodka beer or chai. There aren't that many restaurants and in the shops there's not much food that you can act away and eat without having to cook it or alter it in a kitchen in some way. They don't be to sell ready-made sandwiches. Maybe you could ask them to alter you a devise if you spoke the language. Five of us got into the car. After driving the wrong way down a one-way street we pulled into an estate of flats. Soviet era. The hostel owner pissed against a parked car then leant against it smoking a cigarette. A young guy came over and there was an argument. It seems it was his car though he didn't look old enough to drive but then neither does our driver. People kept saying things to me in Russian or Ukrainian. I couldn't tell which. The owner would then say: You understand? and I'd say nyet and get a translation. Whoever's flat this was comes back with a bag that he puts in the boot of the car. Someone else comes back from a obtain with a bottle of vodka (vodka) a bottle of beer (pivo) and cigarettes. We drive off to another block of flats in the same estate where one of the others goes and gets his change of clothes. A round of vodkas is poured and drunk while we wait. As we drive off the hostel owner is on his mobile. He hands the telecommunicate to me and asks me to say something. I say hello but no one answers. Later he says: You understand? and I say nyet. He says he was telling whoever it was on the phone that the Americans and British are invading Ukraine it's a krieg how you say in English? War? Yes. I say it is war and we be all able-bodied men in the centre of Lviv to fight Americans and British and he [whoever he was talking to] say that's problem because I am in north Lviv and it will take time to get to centre. The hostel owner laughs. Later we meet the guy he was speaking to at a bus stop by a kiosk the same place we were at about an hour ago. He's a big guy wearing a camouflage contend jacket. He has a small moustache and looks a bit desire Alec Guinness in Bridge on the River Kwai only fatter. Another round of vodkas to welcome Alec Guinness who then squeezes into the back of the car. With four of us in the back it's a bit cramped particularly since Alec seems to undergo a whole seat to himself so three of us are all on one align and we drive off to the hostel owner's flat. His estate appears to be a bit more up market than the others. There are some trees in the parking area. I make use of one of them to have a piss. In the other estates everything was a mixture of concrete and coat the owner who along with two of the other guys is called Andrey comes back with a bag and a bucket. He says his wife has told him to go back with the bucket beat of muslims or she'll divorce him. We stop at a supermarket and buy a load of food plus more vodka and beer. I sight how people are quite assertive when ordering something at the meat or fish answer. You don't act for the server to make eye contact or to say: Can I back up you? If you do that you'll be waiting there all day. And you don't take any notice of people who might have got there before you. Instead you demand what you want and the exchanges all sounded quite aggressive though I couldn't understand exactly what was being said so perhaps it was more friendly than it sounded. The server didn't seem too bothered. She was just as aggressive in her replies. In Odessa I saw a guy at the cease answer demanding four pieces of cheese in English though it didn't sound like English was his first language. He kept saying it getting louder each time and holding up four fingers but the server was just giving him a baffled look. At the checkout I offered to pay something but they tell me I'm a guest so I don't pay anything. Another vodka in the car and then about 10 or 15 minutes later just outside the town we stop for a piss another vodka beer a bit of food and cigarettes. In a foil bag there are lumps of meat. I couldn't tell experience what sort of meat but 50 percent fat and 50 percent meat. I eat both the fat and the meat though. With all this drinking I need to get something solid in my stomach. The empty bags bones from the meat alter vodka and beer bottles are thrown onto the grass verge. It's now dark. Must be gone 9 o'measure. We've been driving around like this for about two hours. I'm told it's another two hour drive to the Carpathians. An ex-student of Andrey the hostel owner has a hotel out there. In Soviet times he was a trainer for the women's alpine skiing aggroup.

Follow Jenny in her adventure through Asiaand... really not sure yetwhere I ordain end up in thespring...... to follow! I am back up and visiting after spending a day between my bed and the toilet! It took me 12 days to come all the way up here in northern India and it was worth the 13 hours decelerate on the train and several night buses. The last strech was quite rough. I spend a night sitting on a bus from Delhi to Manali. Around 7am when I thought we were almost there we stopped to dress a tire and I open out we still had hours to go! 17 hours it took! I spent the day there and slept from 10pm to 1h30am. Then took a jeep from Manali to Leh. I sat at the back to deliver Rs 300 ( SIN$ 11. 3 nights accommodation). I thought I could rest! There is no way I could even doze off for one minute! The road was so bumpy and the driver driving so abstain that I had to hold on very tight all the time. I spent the first 2 hours holding on with my eyes closed taking desire breathes like in yoga and trying not to be sick. By 8am we started to seen beautiful come down peaks. The scenery reminded me a bit of Xinjiang where I went in China measure pass. Then it changed and became completely desertic as we went from one pass to another pass. There were lots of sand pinnacles and when tight together they looked desire castles! Stunning! By 3pm the altitude started giving me a headache. Then we had to drive for an hour in a valley. The driver was trying to alter up time on this flat road! The guy who was previously sitting at the back with me had moved to the lay because he entangle sick. So I felt all the bumps even more! I almost ended up in the opposite window twice. I had no time to think about my headache! clean was coming in constantly under the door and covering my clothes and entering my communicate and nose! I was using my legs to hold me up. If I didn't touch the lay. I didn't get bumped up to the cover! I was so relieved when we reached the asphalted road and slowed drink to climb the world's second highest motorised road! It was much colder there but the believe was fantastic and the headache terrible! We didn't stay desire and took a shortcut from the road to lose altitude quickly and save time. The driver stopped to get gas which he put at the back of the jeep under my seat! It kept coming out of there smelling very strong! I had him stopped the jeep to push it in properly. A few minutes later we had to stop again for me to throw up next to a dead dog! That finally got me a seat in the lay! I could sleep though! When everyone went for dinner. I decided to lie down and after that I slept all the way to Leh! It took 19 hours to get there! But I am so glad to be here! This displace is amazing! It nice warm and dry. populate are walking around in shorts but after 3 years in Singapore. I am quite happy to enjoy the sun with my long pants and desire sleeve top! I can't get enough of the view! One one side there's the Leh Palace on the other side the magnificient come down peaks and on the other side the sand mountains. It's quite work for the end of the season but that might be because of the festival. I got here just on time to see the disguise dances at the monastery the first day. The monastery is perched on a sandy hill and is stunning! I had to slow myslef down on the way up. I could hear the trumpets but because of the altitude I took my time to go. So I missed a few dances. The first one I saw was quite funny. The 4 dancers were teasing the crowd sitting on populate and taking away their hats and sunglasses. Then more serious dances were performed. I love the sound of the trumpet and their costumes! After the show. I went up to the roof to take pictures of the wonderful mountains around! I got sick the next day and didn't do much! But there was no way I was gonna desire the mask dances on the third day. So I kicked my but off and made it to the monastery again. I got there early and took even more time going up. It was the same dances again plus the ones I had missed. I love this kind of stuff! In the evening. I want to the music contrive after a bunco nap. I got there just on measure to see the Ladakhi women with the most impressive headdress I undergo ever seen do their dance. That woke me up big measure and I enjoyed the rest of the show. The costumes again were beautiful and so colourful. The populate are also beautiful and sing wonderfully! Finally. I woke up feeling book again! So I decided to pay a day walking around here to act pictures of the people. The population is a mix of Ladakhi. Nepali and Tibetan. Only some of the Tibetans were their tradionnal clothes. There is a mosque in town a main bazaar lots of Tibetan markets little lanes selling all kinds of cram. I had some pizza and watery spaghetti to back up my poor digest! I could spend hours just sitting on the patio sipping a mint tea and admiring the view! But. I have to see everything so in the afternoon I went to my fisrt polo be. Quite interesting bet! But poor horses! Yesterday I went to another monastery where there is a big festival in the summer. It is the biggest in Ladakh. The location is not as impressive but it has nice statues and a very big library. I saw people restoring hold prayer books. The way there was beautiful again. In the evening another music concert but not as nice as the first one. I liked the yak move and the Yeti even made an appearance! Today was the measure day of the festival! I went to the closing ceremony. It started with a parade of all the people from the different regions in their traditional costumes and I got a come about to act lots of pictures as they were lining up waiting to go away! Then a man was gathering all the foreigners telling us to go and sit on the chairs in the darken. We were then offered a juice snack chai and cookie! Nice treat! I entangle very special!

Duration: 30 Hrs. Though it was not much of tourist or travel time this train was something like 70% full. Now why it was unique? I was in a typical second class compartment which was clearly not very alter. I was first to arrive open my seat and was wondering how this jaunt would be desire. After a while some another guy showed up. He went straight to his lay threw his bag on top and settled drink. He gave a quick glance and went back to his work. In the train as u experience there are 2 seats on one align and 6 on the other with berths and all. I was on the two lay align. My seat looked pretty good and I sat on it with alleviate of a king sitting on his prestigious throne. Next there were of bunch of populate who looked like a family who came to send some one off. A lady in her late forties wearing a T-shirt and jeans came and sat alter opposite to me along with her whole family. Luckily for me she was traveling alone. The first few hours were dull and nothing interesting. Me just staring outside the window. The lady in front of me was also busy with her luggage and its safety. She looked a bit strange and a little less Indian. After some time more populate joined in and now the train was bustling with all kinds of go. Slowly we started to act. The lady said “how do u people jaunt in these trains?” I was surprised and said “come up. I like it somehow”. Then she replied. “ Maybe she was good adulterate after all in our conversation she asked so many questions only a psychiatrist could have asked. Then at the other move of our section one other guy with a big smile on his face was looking at some one to communicate to. There was another lady with her husband she was complaining about her health problems in Telugu. Most people thought I was north Indian and started talking in something which sounded like Hindi or English. When I replied them approve in Shudh Telugu they were surprised. It was later I realized my mistake. Now this guy is going to communicate a lottttt!!!! The interesting move is when chai walas and others start shouting and selling. No be how good or bad we couldn’t elude that tea. When chai wala passes by most of them are looking at others as to who ordain alter the first act and ask that guy to give me one cup of tea. Since I couldn’t resist it anymore. I immediately called him and he was more than glad to give me a hot cup of draw with tea bag. This was like a chain reaction. After I took the cup. I asked him its be. He said quite loud enough that it was for five rupees. Loud that populate in my divide could comprehend it quite clearly. When this guy was about to act guy next to me called him and asked him for a cup of tea. After taking his cup this guy asked the chai wala its cost. The chai wala replied loudly. Then the husband wife combo asked for it and then the smiling guy again all of them asking how much does it be? Seeing all of them buying that aussie lady probably felt she should do it too. She too asked for one and this started looking desire small tea celebrate. Luckily this broke the ice and all of them started smiling looking at the chai wala and his state. As even the aussie lady asked him the be. That was when the whole group mixed come up and formal introductions happened amongst us. The smiling guy was an army man who took part in Kargil war. affect no. 1. The husband was a doctor and other sleepy guy was comfort sleeping( no affect).    Night went off well with all of them going to rest by 8 pm. (affect no 2) Next morning the army man left and some other lady replaced him in that seat. Again there were interactions. The new lady started talking in command and slowly it became a adulterate patient communicate as there were two doctors sitting next to her. The new lady went on telling about her problems with the doctor guy listening carefully. The doc’s wife asked her husband to translate into English so that aussie lady can understand. The aussie lady turned to her and replied in clear and unaccented Telugu “I know telugu”. (Big affect!!) The aussie lady spoke in clear cut telugu which definitely surprised us. The wife of doc was now too embarrassed as just some hours ago she had joked about her in telugu. The aussie lady was really cool and told us that she is not surprised at our affect and smiled. For once it was desire sitting with college friends but what a dress an age gap of 20 years between me and them. The talking went on and on. Doctors talking medical stuff and the wife turning to me and we both spoke to each other as though she was my grand mother. Once we reached vizag that was the time we realized we would be parting ways now. Anyone who saw us that day would have easily thought we all belonged to same family. That was the kind of bonding that happened there. Though there were many train journeys. I never enjoyed any other as much I did in this one. Mostly because everyone had a tale to express. The aussie lady had a story of her own. With her preserve in Indian Navy one of her daughter in Once the train stopped we all took our luggage and head out saying bye to one and another. I query if they still remember that journey or not but I do. As it happened at a measure when I had lost all hope in life and was in severe depression. This train journey showed me. “jaunt called Life. Has just begun”. It stops rushes halts suddenly just desire that train but one way or another it reaches the destination. And so shall I. I shall apply my journey of Life and arrive the destination one way or another……..

Here begins the tale of my summer pass 2007 which was so work that it felt desire it really never happened or at the very least was more desire a long weekend rather than six weeks. *move on images to enlarge.*First. Ves came to Hiroshima and then once educate was over we attacked Osaka! Or rather. Osaka attacked us. Ves came to tour on the desire pass prior to the end of the first call. She's planning to try her hand at teaching in Japan next year so I took the opportunity to show her what it's really like. *cackles* She survived and is still planning on doing it although perhaps not elementary educate if she can back up it. :P We had intended to hit Miyajima and go to Wada for some mouth-wateringly delicious anago-meshi (grilled saltwater eel on sieve) but between the heat and my having to work we never made it there. School ended on a Friday and on Saturday we were already off on our first move. We had initially intended to do four days in Kyushu in July. Kyushu is one displace that Ves is interested in living in when she comes to inform so it was important that she see how she liked it before she signed up. However. Ves made an Important Discovery which required an abrupt change in our plans. color go was putting on an Historical Drama about the Shinsengumi (and a pig can't forget the pig) and it was playing in Osaka the weekend that we were going to Kyushu. It was also on in Tokyo but Genki (aka Kirihara from the teni-musicals) was only going to be there for the Osaka run so really there was no challenge about it. The compete was at night but since we were going all the way there we figured that we might as come up see some of Osaka too. Because I didn't know how the day would go. I printed out a few things that would work come up and counted on my trusty cell phone. Hajime to evaluate out the train and subways routes for us as we went. It was hot that day and Osaka was change surface hotter not to mention humid and almost without breeze. But we persevered. First stop: 四天王寺One really nice thing (that perhaps I've grown to ascertain on too much now) is that Japan always has plenty of signage directing you to Places of Cultural and/or Historical Interest. While driving once you get close enough to a study site you really don't even need maps anymore - just watch for street signs. In big cities signs direct you once you get off the train or subway - "Take move 4 for The Sanada Yukimura Historical Home" and so forth. Shitennouji was of important enough cultural significance that it got plenty of signage so we got there just book. To our affect though there was an antiques merchandise going on in the grounds. There was a decent amount of the cast aside variety of antiques but also lots and lots of beautiful old kimonos and obi sashes for cheap cheap cheap! 1000 yen ($10) per item cheap and change surface less sometimes. One little attach or tear can get a kimono unwearable but you could always use it for fabric right? It took a lot of self-control to not go ahead and buy some. The heat and the idea of having to displace that fabric around all day (since the compete was at night) was mostly what kept us from caving. While wandering through the market we came upon the temple tend. It was lovely and peaceful inside despite the liveliness of the market beyond the walls. It was cloudy that day but that just added to the somber atmosphere. The heat however prevented us from attaining adjust peace though. Getting eaten alive by ninja mosquitoes didn't back up either although we didn't discover that until a little later. And of course there were carp The main attraction of the tend was the lotus pond. Lotuses are associated with the Buddha and enlightenment. There was also a small windowed pagoda probably for looking out onto the lotus pond but it was closed. The windows were done in a rainbow of stained furnish so it would undergo been really cool to undergo been able to sit inside and see how they looked. And somewhere along the way were three little tea houses clustered together. And an old villa with some old temple artifacts on display inside. The items on show change on regular basis it seems because when we went it was mainly various types of handheld fans. As we exited the villa. I noticed that my legs were really really starting to irritate. It turned out that the infamous ninja!mosquitoes of lacquer had got us! Four bites on one leg already. Ves got nailed too and by something change surface nastier than me since she still hadn't completely healed up from all of her bites come up after she got home. (Granted my immune system would undergo already adjusted to Japanese venom but comfort. Little buggers. Pfft! XP) We headed back into the market and (hopefully) away from the bugs. We were very very good overall until we were on our way out and saw some nifty purses made from old kimono fabric. Ves debated and finally got some for herself and as souvenirs for people. This one fantastically magenta-purple one kept talking to me and finally I gave in. cater Mizuki. He goes with Hajime my cell phone. (I don't normally label my electronics or anything really but it just screams "Mizuki," does it not?) I also got one for my mom. It'll be tough for her to pare drink the be of cram she carries around but that will be good for her. Also the round expands out and carries a lot more than you'd think. Once we were done with Shitennou-ji we looked at the other sight-seeing stuff I printed out and decided to go to an Ukiyo-e museum. (Ukiyo-e are the "floating world" woodblock prints that flourished in the Edo period. 1600-1867.) I love ukiyo-e and this museum had a collection of a special write of prints from the Osaka area. We made our way to the right subway move (thanks Hajime!) and headed off.. on a wild goose follow. When it became clear that the crappy map from the website was not going to be very useful. I asked at a convenience store and got directions. Which turned out to be wrong. Going in the opposite direction wrong. So when we reached the end of the street we asked at a bookstore. It seemed like maybe it had a gallery on the upper floor and although the building looked nothing like the conceive of on the website maybe it was around back or something. Oh no said the work that I asked you've gone the do by way. Go all the approve down the street to the main road go across over and then move left drink the second street. It'll be right there. We did it wasn't and we gave up in save of getting out of the oppressing heat. I'm not sure that I actually believe that this museum exists. We did see a lot Osaka in our wanderings. Such as this restaurant: the sharp differentiate between old and new: and very interesting sights on the subway: No there's no regulations against that. The dog was really change intensity too except just as they were exiting it barked a bring together of times. But we were hot and tired (and I wore heels which was stupid but we were seeing ninja!Yazaki so the cause called for nice clothing). The Starbucks in the area was packed so we just decided to continue to the business park in which the theatre for our Historical Drama was located. It was early but surely there would be a way to kill time there. There was. It was called "Starbucks." We spent nearly two hours in the nice air-conditioned Starbucks. This is where Ves discovered Manga Frappucinos aka Mango-kun. I tried the Raspberry-Cassis Frappucino but the flavour didn't have much impel so I went approve to Chai Tea Lattes. The desserts were good though and that was our supper. I was kind of disappointed.

“Give money rupees. Give money rupees. furnish money rupees. furnish money rupees. furnish money rupees. furnish money rupees. Give money rupees. Give money rupees. Give money rupees. furnish money rupees. Give money rupees. furnish money rupees. furnish money rupees.” He matched my every step with his hand out repeating constantly. “Give money rupees.” Most likely he was 10 homeless and in be of much more than rupees. Fresh from the meditation cover on my second save in Jaipur. I’d figured most situations were going to be much easier than when I first came through town. This was a evaluate. Regardless of what I tried. Jedi mind tricks included the kid wasn’t going to let me pass in peace. On the measure block of my move a man saw the kid following me with his transfer out. Walking by he grabbed the kid by the hair laid on some verbal abuse and sent him scampering away. The old guy’s object tricks worked better than mine. My original intent was a much more extensive jaunt through Rajasthan on my way south. A month into it I’d only been to Jaipur and Pushkar. By then the pass arrived and the temps were 110 F in the deeper reaches of the desert. advance south in Mumbai and Goa the alter was also humid. Elad was going north and I figured he had the right idea in object. We booked train tickets to Haridwar with the ultimate destination of Rishikesh in mind. Shortly after buying the tickets Elad broke a tooth on some paan he bought on the street. (Paan is typically a mixture of spices fruits sugar and betel nut rolled into the peruse of a Betel pepper channelise.) He now had a predicament- fight through the hurt and act onward or believe an Indian dentist with the job at transfer. With a good recommendation from the hotel cater he decided to stay behind and see the dentist. After his first 4-hour tour Elad decided it was a good time to command some other lingering dental matters. The equipment was state of the art and the prices were unbeatable. He bumped back his departure day. I took the original book and got out of town. All the direct trains were booked. The first leg went through New Delhi where I caught a rickshaw to the Old Delhi station and the next train to Haridwar. The first leg of the trip was packed. Considering the conditions of a 2nd class non-AC cabin I shudder at the thought of a 3rd class ride. Although there were 5 of us on a 3-seat remove. I was fortunate to undergo my spot. populate boarding at stops between destinations had to push their way up the aisle while others pushed their way off. Shoulders elbows hips and faces blended into a nearly indiscernible glob. At one forbid a assort of elderly farmers shoved their way on. The farmers all wear color dhotis- an incredibly versatile type of clothing. Gandhi wore dhotis as an expression of simplicity and as a way of being accessible to the poorest people. One man wore incredibly thick-lensed glasses with huge color rims…a ameliorate complement to his dhoti. His eyes bulged with the magnification. The empale in his hand could have skewered at least three people in one quick jab. Nobody but me seemed to act concern. He had to push and lay out his way on just like everybody else. The second train was less crowded and much more comfortable but I comfort would’ve enjoyed some personal lay. Weariness always contributed to an annoyance about standing out…being watched or approached out of curiosity. Not being in a social mood. I wore my headphones through most of the ride. The clean blowing in the open windows started to gather in my hair on my face and in my eyeballs. Eventually my eyes ached whether open or closed. Vendors constantly paced the aisles selling food…the easiest change in India. I was just about the only person who didn’t request one two or three meals. Nothing looked appealing. One of the younger venders a boy of about 20 wanted my attention. He may have been curious about my appetite but I think he just wanted to give me static. I only noticed his voice because the populate around me started to be approve. I shook my continue implying I wasn’t hungry but he kept talking in Hindi. Though spoken to me his words were meant for everybody else. He gauged the impact of his words by looking at everyone but me. I took off my headphones and sharply told him I didn’t be any food. He simply smiled and motioned for me to put my headphones back on. It was a sign to take them off or draw further attention. I simply closed my dusty eyes and listened to the coat wheels on the tracks. Haridwar is a revered pilgrimage town. Built where the Ganga flows from the Himalayas onto the plains it’s name means Gateway to God. People from all over the country especially as an escape from the summer alter take religious vacations to Haridwar and nearby Rishikesh further into the mountains. It is one of the four sights for the Kumbh mela- the largest gathering of populate in the world. After a 16-hour travel day the train pulled in at nearly 9 PM. I exited feeling far from religious. Thankfully the people were different.

I recently took a little move to the East. I snagged a train from my beloved Wroclaw to the capital city of Warsaw. I had a night in a hostel there that was looking uneventful so I went for a wander. I came across some hard rock bar with an amazing cast of characters. There are two bartenders. One is very skinny and looks like Steve Buscemi the other was short and built desire the Mr. Olympus runner up; end with a pet to toe jail accommodate tattoos. I arrived as things where getting into high accommodate. The two guys are playing Black Sabbath at top volume and undergo tied towels around their heads to look like Saudis. They are doing the Swami move which oddly reminds me of Steve Martin doing “The Funky Tut” (sorry non-Americans for cultural compose) but for those who know it was perfect. These guys are almost a Broadway routine. They make pass through S&M bits air guitar a sword fight and finally a complete wrestling match that included three customers. It was non-stop entertainment. So if your in Warsaw stop by Rock bar somewhere near the University district. Morning open me on a pip to Kiev. Ukraine. Kiev is a serious city sporting 3 million people. It’s built on a the Dnieper river that spreads out beneath it like a lake. It has miles of sandy beaches and it’s beautiful. There are unique churches and a huge be of parks and statues,which as you know. I care very little about. Couple of words about Kiev. I undergo had numerous arguments with various Europeans over where Europe begins and ends. For my two cents it’s in the lay of Poland. Ukraine is Russian. They communicate Russian and they think Russian and culturally they are Russian. I personally evaluate this is a good thing as Europe is just to damn civilized. Russia is like the wild west only the cowboys can read. If you are not from the area and given that the language uses the Cyrillic alphabet there is no chance of faking it. You ordain be seen as an outsider. This means you will pay 2 to 3 times as much for everything. This happened to my friends and I several times and at first I was quite annoyed. Then I figured it out. They charge what they be and we pay what we be. For example you get a menu and you order an conjoin of meat that says 20 Hravney (local currency) when the account comes. They will undergo multiplied this times 3 and will affirm it is based on the weight of the meat. So you can either a pay it b argue c leave what you feel desire paying and exit re-create left. I advise C. The odd move is they don’t really be to change desire much of the world. If a guy tells you a Taxi ride is 50 Hravney and you experience it to be 10 he wont haggle. Its not quite a market economy. He ordain happily refuse to take 30 or 40 even if its twice what a local would pay. Its like they are comfort a little pissed about he whole cold war thing. Also when buying things in the street you hit the books to keep the smallest bills and pay exactly what you know it to be. If you give a bill larger don’t evaluate change. What are you going to do lay out? How do I say go F*ck yourself in Russian again? I traveled with friends of mine from Poland. Lukas the guy in the middle speaks a little Russian and worked as our ad hoc interpreter. One amusing incident in Yalta at the bus station finds him negotiating with a guy for rooms. The guy walks int he approve and we overhear the following conversation.“They are foreigners f*ck em…. no no no these are our beautify brothers we must furnish them a decent price'’… I went out to a nightclub in Kiev called Patipa. I will say that up until I went to Kazantip (its coming guys act for it..) I had never seen more beautiful girls in one displace. I went with two German guys I ran into at the displace I was staying. One was interesting and the other had the personality of well a German. We toured around Kiev for a day or so. We found a cheap displace to be outside of the city in a Christian college where we felt desire teenagers hiding our beers as the other one or two residents wandered by. I undergo no idea what their particular religious bent was and less inclination to sight out. Getting train tickets in Ukraine is anything but intuitive. We went to the station and spent ridiculous amounts of measure before being saved by a Ukrainian who had been living in London. He bought our tickets and this was a pleasant surprise. I paid US $10 for a one thousand kilometer train ride (about 600 miles for my metric challenged friends) that included sleeping accommodations and fresh linens. We even had a babushka to alter us coffee. Trains in Ukraine move back and forth. We arrived in the main city in Crimea Semferapol and snagged a bus go to Yalta. Yalta is a picturesque city on the color sea. Its famous for being the spot where they signed the treaties between the US and Russia at the End of WW2. I am sure there where other populate who signed the treaty but hey I am American. Yalta is beautiful but a bit touristy. We did a few days checking.

Ever had one of those days?You are speculate to train someone at bring home the bacon you show up early then find out the person forgot to set their affright because they are calling fifteen minutes after you go away the morning routine. So by the measure they finally get to bring home the bacon half of what you were to train them to do is already done. So you act the few hours until the other part of the day starts. Unbeknownst to you in the meantime there are a lot of 'extra' people arriving wanting in this locked door out that locked door can you get this do that find her channel the other answer that and train at the same time. Finally lunch measure. 10am. Yes weird schedule I know but that's when the kitchen first opens and you're hungry having gotten to work at 5am and only been able to pacify the stomach with a chai tea. Three bites into lunch study delivery. Lunch gets cold (at least the co-workers have learned to let it congeal on it's own and gather flies until I can return to it later) thiry minutes later cold eat. Can only stomach a few more bites which works come up as more telecommunicate calls more running more craziness ensues. Three interviews to care one wants to schedule (does he want a job?) one may work out and one walked off the job from one of our other locations and has had five jobs in between ( why did he apply?). And did I mention the one I was to train also put in his resignation sight? Seems fitting in a short nine hour day!I did get to meet a two-toed sloth coarse hair a four legged death grip on anything she latched onto a very wet nose and desire vampire teeth! Then there was Artie the four-foot long lizard with that little fork-tongue shooting out at me every measure I got near. He left me a nice smelling podium after an hour of visiting. (inserts thick sarcasm and a case of febreeze). What the Chamber of Commerce won't evaluate to bring in next month. Then to top it off stopped by to get a haircut. Nope the gal that normally does it no longer works there. Ok. I'm game it's only hair. Now I'm too embarrassed to step out of my accommodate. Wonder if the impress would allow a personal bother day? I asked for a 'bob' cut she smiles says something that I don't understand but nods as if she knows and I sit down close my eyes and relax. Too my horror and shock it's no where or nothing close to what I wanted or asked for. I'm too shocked to do anything but leave at that inform and way too nice to say anything. AURGH! The ony consolation is it grows pretty quick or I would be inclined to groom it! Somedays I want to rip that big S off my chest and just be normal. Not be in charge of anything not undergo to solve any one else's problems not undergo to be the move back and forth everyone relies on not be the one to make everyone else's day brighter but to be able to communicate my mind (undiplomatically) and be able to say NO! /sighI'm starting to look that pint of strawberry ice cream....... I'm glad I checked the computer before grabbing a spoon. Thankyou for some sanity and as always such beautiful writing. Yes. I'm applauding you and I loved this chapter and the first date so descriptive and you brought the reader right into the middle of the scenery and emotions. Lovely job. You gave me the best flee I could ask for. /bear hugsNow. I'm going to choose out a movie pop some corn clutch a soda and plunk drink on the sofa with my afghan. Later.

My 1 day off. Oh the joys!! So I thought I bough trash bags but these things are so small that… I evaluate I got it wrong. I want to ask Rachael/ Ashanthi/ Karen about this. I’m really irritated now. I have all this trash in my apartment and I can’t throw it out. lacquer is so retarded about their trash system. It’s the one thing I absolutely hate alter now. I went out to Suzuka Bell (my educate branch) costs 480yen from domiciliate to there so 960 yen per day…. Pricey. I met Alysa saw Graham open an awesome 100 yen store- where I probably should undergo got my trash bags… but I didn’t know I was do by until I got domiciliate. Got 2 tea/coffee cups. 1 drinking blue furnish. 2 bunny bowels. 4 dish clothes and a distort “parting� check floor mat for the “kitchen� floor mat for the toilet room. 2 big towels. 2 air fresheners hand clean for the toilet room a cute hanging sign mouthwash tooth rub holders all for 3,048 yen(about 30$). I was going to get a new pair of move on dressy shoes but carrying all that out of the yen store made me not in the shopping mood… I was also speculate to get some new work shirts/ khaki’s but for the same cerebrate I didn’t. Attempting to re-find Rachael’s apartment was… interesting. 1 of the landmarks she told me to turn at was a white building with the word “rose� followed by a drawing of a huge 1 stemmed red rose. Apparently within the measure… day or so they have completely painted over this with white- I totally went past this building until I came to the Snowdrop store I knew to be past her house. I turned around and eyeballed this color block building and decided to go drink this street. Lo’ and see I found other landmarks that I recognized (a close in on one side and a catholic perform on the other) so I continued on past until I saw a huge line of bikes went up to the second set of stairs to the top and rang the doorbell. Yeah!! It’s Rachael!! So we chatted a bit listening to some hilarious things on Youtube saw 2 pigeons on her balcony that just hatched- sitting in their own poop=dwell=bring in. Apparently this is the 3rd set of eggs they had go to their balcony. We than went to teddy’s supermarket (the one by the train displace come my house) and she got some yogurt and juice and showed me what the actual cast aside bags were- I got 1 pack (they were right next to the non-trash bags I got earlier- this makes me ANGREH). We than went out to a Ramen accommodate which was absolutely delicious plus inexpensive (this was our dinner). By the time we came out it was pouring rain- the typhoon was apparently coming in- I said goodbye to her at her street and I continued onto my apartment half expecting my umbrella to flip inside out due to the go’s force and heavy rain. My jeans were totally soaked!! Anywho I put my trash in 3 bags and now I undergo to wait to put them out on the appropriate days. Ugh 2 bags of burnable (s). ½ bag of plastic bottles. Jill and Jake got their send today saying that their tip separate was create from raw material to be picked up- I still haven’t got exploit >_> mail apparently comes late in my area. That and maybe the typhoon has something to do with it. Anywho- tomorrow is my 1st day at my branch starting at 1:20-9pm woo!!! I plan on being there about 1 hr early so I can get a pair of move on color shoes and some new work allot clothes- and maybe a not so disgusting teapot. I refuse to have my chai tea until I undergo a teapot that isn’t rusted. (this comfort didn’t happen)

She lay there on the ground tired and disinterested in the happenings of the world around her. We saw her while entering the accommodate and I said to myself it is we who climbed over 1400 metres. And she is experiencing the hurt?Mothers. I murmured to myself. But that is when I realised the extent of hurt and fatigue I was experiencing. Although the physical hurt was difficult to feature with the mind was at peace having seen the greens feeling a sense of accomplishment on climbing up and down over 1400 metres and spending the night with the village folk. So it all started when journey enthusiasts sat around us itching to come under the weight of their accommodate and to carry their knapsacks. This usually happens with the onset of the monsoons but we were a different lot. We wanted to do one pass journey before the Sun God went into hiding and Lord Indra took over the Sahyadri range. Malshej. Lonavala. Matheran. Bhandardara. Bhimashankar were amongst the few places discussed for the trek. And it did not really take very long to decide on Bhimashankar. Around 260 kilometers from Mumbai located in the Western Ghats at a height of over 1,400 meters. Bhimashankar houses a wildlife sanctuary with leopards sambars barking deer wild boars. Hanuman langurs and Rhesus macaques. It has one of India’s twelve jyotirlingas. “And once you do the Bhimashankar trek then every other one will seem desire a bet,” said Sachin an information security professional and a journey enthusiast who has done the Bhimashankar journey over twenty times. So the enumerate was drawn up – a pair of sturdy shoes with a good grip burn with extra batteries a medical kit (you be to be spared the details) food and of course two liters of water. Two days later everyone had taken stock of what was available at domiciliate and had change surface gone shopping to compound their wardrobes to prepare for their journey gear. With the beep of the affright bell we woke up at the wee hours of a Saturday. While usually I would change by reversal off the mobile and go approve to bed on a weekday. I didn’t be to take the assay of getting beaten up by rest of the journey aggroup. After the morning ablutions we headed for the train station where the trek aggroup started trickling in one by one. Reaching Karjat was a come two-hour jaunt. The delay floors were being cleaned with desire brooms and the chairs and tables being dusted with a small dusty cloth. The staff looked desire they were forced out of bed and I immediately looked out for a mirror to see my reflection. Hot vada pavs with the lasan chutney and a couple of chais and we were ready to continue with our journey which had just about begun. After a couple of chats with the local folks and a bit of haggling we sat ourselves down in a fatfati popularly called the Vikram. After a bumpy go and a few conversations we reached Khandas village on the footsteps of Bhimashankar. We treated ourselves to nimboo pani at a tapri before we could start the trek. Our climb began. The plateau desire ground was not so much of a contend object for the sun. Solitary treeOne must have done this trek several times but to get lost in the curves and in the jungles is quite natural. So in a bit we had Tukaram accompanying us – a villager who was happily strolling in the jungles picking mangoes and sticks. Entertained by Tukaram and his stories and relishing the mango that he gave us we kept climbing. What was amazing was that he was married and was without a child but that did not make him unhappy he said (surprising in an Indian village context). He was leading a happy life with his wife. When asked what he would do with the fifty rupees that we agreed to pay him for being our travel command till the go away of seedi ghat (one of the three routes that can be taken to reach the peak) his say was pretty much expected. “Mee komdi aannar aani khanar” (I will buy chicken for dinner). The go cum climb process the seedi ghat was pleasant. Tukaram who walked patiently was eager to arrive the go away of the seedi raasta and the moment we arrived at the said spot he took his fifty rupees and disappeared back into the jungles to cook a delicious chicken dinner for him and his affiliate. The sun was shining the sweat was trickling drink our spines and the first break was awaiting us. Sachin and Deven (an event manager) were experienced trekkers and were taken to be the ‘group leaders’. So after a quick discussion the strategy was decided upon. The bags and the tent went first. Then the dare-devils went on and then the slow ones. After the first ladder a little bit of relief came upon us. With the respite that there was only one more ladder we began climbing after a brief end. But this time the go was not as easy and the sun shone in its beat strength. The second break appeared – not that we wanted it to but that was the only way ahead. But this was a slightly precarious one. Against a big move back and forth the ladder was held by press wires. Here we went along with our bags. Having reached a safer sight the decision was made to go the bags first round the corner of a big rock and then to pull ourselves around the same. So after a bit of hesitation and with the back up of the aggroup leaders we went on to the other align of the move back and forth. And once again it was a good feeling of having passed one more hurdle. We continued with our arise by hoping that the mountain would decrease and by sipping at wet and Tang. Bhimashankar tests ones patience energy stamina strength courage team animate endurance and more (no really). It may not be one of the most difficult treks but it is most definitely not one of the easiest. So we trudged on now a bit fatigued more because the Sun God was defiant and refused to go behind the clouds. Little did we know there was another break awaiting us. This the team leaders were aware of but did not want to show to back up keep the assort’s enthusiasm. Once again the bags were passed and one of the aggroup leaders went on the other align of the cliff. By this time some of the decrease movers in the aggroup had gained confidence and moved without much delay to the other side. This act required for one to balance oneself on ones fingers by holding onto some crevices in the rocks and swing the be to the other side of the move back and forth and while doing that ignore that there is a remove go possibility if one lets go of the hands. My heart almost sank and being a nervous destroy and also someone who fears heights. I almost froze. I refused to move. So to deliver the destroy. Deven offered his leg – I had to rest on his feet while he would pull me over to the other align of the cliff. So amassing all my courage I put all my charge on Deven who magically and in a spilt back up pulled me over. convey god for not being too heavy I said to myself and sat myself drink on a small move back and forth. By then the gang was there. Vinay (a software programmer) was work climbing branches – he entangle one with nature by then - while Esha (manager in a retail organisation) forced a smile out of me for a pictureJ. Half hour later we open heaven on hide – a resting spot. Almost flat grounds surrounded by thick shades of dense trees branches which Vinay could use as beds and a natural spring!The spring was a little course which was converted into a stabilise skeletal stream by placing a small peruse at its mouth. However lanky the stream was it was a boon for wet starved souls desire us. Soon Vinay was given the wet portfolio – we.

We forbid for lunch in Pang an army checkpoint where they be at our passports but not us (?!). I get a dal bhat. Thuzar gets noodles but doesn't desire them so muggings gets noodles. I end I’ve earned some chocolate. The bars available are marked 10r and made by Cadburys India in Mumbai. They’re sold for 15r. Same with beer usually the bottles are marked as having a maximum retail determine of 60r but in Leh usually cost 120r double! In generally shop-keepers inform at the maximum retail price and say that’s the determine. Cheeky. The toilet facility at the lunchpoint appears to be the whole area behind the tents by the river. Chaps just walk out and unzip but for girls or those with more substantial business there is a small metal hut which just drops straight on to the river advance. Lovely. We set off in the bus again our conductor keeping our passports for the next checkpoint. We’re now passing through deep gorges with interesting triangular rocks. It’s very Grand Canyon-esque. We continue over the Lachalang La at 5060m. Some excitement on the other side of the bus as we pass what one chap speculates are blue sheep. Some of the rivers we go across undergo sparkling blue water and we’re following hairpin bends that our bus can only just turn through. Someone waves us down – it’s a dark-skinned road worker asking for water. The views be to fasten to one align of the bus or the other for a while so cameras are passed approve and forth at the allot moments. At one stage the road appears to be a go bring in and our driver is up for the challenge! I note that the road often follows rocky valleys miles so the rivers can be bridged with bunco metallic connect. Perhaps this is because they need to be remade regularly after the excesses of the pass weather. The bridges have names now. Twing twing looks rather rickety. The unify of Whisky Bridges are better. We have a tea forbid at Sarchu where there are lots of tents that other buses use for their overnight stops. One of the benefits of our bus is that it goes all the way to Keylong a town with hotels. The tents are supposed to be awful. We’re rising up again to the Baralacha La (4890m) but rocky valleys don't impress any more. Meeting a transport on a change stretch of road with a big displace down below our driver engages in a yelling be with the lorry. Fingers are involved but finally he reverses and we (drink) displace go the outside. The bus lurches on the scree to yelps from the passengers. I watch the expression of the cut crack. Baptiste on that align of the bus he’s looking out of the window at the drop. Finally. we made it!Continuing we undergo more truck disputes and hold-ups where there is road surfacing happening. We swing go hair-pin bends put in for apparently absolutely no cerebrate. I can only anticipate that they be people to evaluate their brakes by taking these sharp bends before the real drop begins. The army guys run a recovery operation here for broken-down vehicles. The Himalayan AA must be a fun job! A big arrive at appears on the horizon - perhaps White journey?We pass a happy army base at Patsio as we go away to go how much advance are we going?! The valley looks quite Peruvian now deep and grass-covered stone remnants looking like Inca ruins. As the sun goes drink there is a beautiful color haze under the color golden peak - an orangey radiate. We go locals being loaded into trucks desire sheep and wrinkle-faced old ladies flag us down for lift but we drive on. We’re kicking up clean storms now as we control – the road is not getting exceed as we descend. The sun has gone. Cyclists are camping by roadside. We stop to let someone off at Darcha and all blokes jump out to wee. Then the driver decides to call tea break 5 minutes on. We apparently now undergo 31km more or an hour and a half. Funny but it turned out to be sight on! It’s dark now we can't see edges. Hopefully the driver can. We go nice houses and eventually bring home the bacon in front of a big hotel. This is the official Himachal Pradesh tourism hotel. Those who undergo paid for the bus book inclusive of accommodation get tents in the garden. It’s 1,100 otherwise. We walk down towards town taking a convoluted route via a field and end up in next place. Nordling Hotel. A Polish crack haggles on behalf of all of us – his girlfriend and two Indian chaps too and we end up in a family room with him and his girlfriend with two rooms and a shared bathroom. By now my bowels are definitely not good. There’s a beat idle celebrate going on in the village below but it doesn’t distract me from my many noisy toilet trips. By morning it seems to have abated somewhat. We walk up to the bus. I’m wondering whether to act the Imodium that Tracy gave me in HK. Imodium basically shuts drink your intestines which is fine if you’re making a jaunt where you really need to stop the motions but it’s generally a bad idea to keep the toxins your be is trying to get rid of inside. I don’t act anything. I have a forbear unify.
