The Gold Refinery In Houston

Jaisalmer

Finally. Finally I got it after 2 weeks managed to get the first journal from India online . Make So far this was due to the relatively good trip plan and the almost negligible Internet Cafe density in the places where we have stopped us more difficult. Of course, I'm in tours for the last few days busy diary and it would have to retype the entries only. But how this is so, the diary is in the hotel and I'm sitting in the middle of the beautiful Wuestenstadt Jaisalmer in an internet cafe which is part of a "German Bakery" is in it but is disappointingly not to buy pretzels ... :-)

weighted Slowly, all of India.
Compulsory diarrhea wave is most happy and over were given way in which one or other of a horrible constipation. Here is the general consistency of the chair to one of the most popular topics among the excursion participants become, especially since it hierrueber addition to the fascinating geology and the completely different Kulutur every day is to erzaelen mostly new, and if someone said of his chair, he can be "normal" this is quite a reason to celebrate a big party ... So far we have not had great Pary ... :-) Describe

To India in general, has a favorite expression of the Indians to be best: "same same, but different!" India is different. India looks different, smells different, tastes different, sounds different, and above all, it is louder. There is probably no place on the subcontinent where there is complete silence. Somewhere rings always a cell phone or a car honking. An Indian without a horn is like a bird without wings. Without horn he can not survive for long. The Indians honk at risk situations Ueberhohlvorgaengen to the obsolete, to indicate that he is being overhauled and a short time later that he was being overhauled. Let her horn signal sound if just one cow in the middle of the highway meets a coach on the same track on the current one over a truck and collected approximately 10 meters cozy stroll before all 50 events Indians across the road. They honk to get Grues each other in normal way traffic, from boredom, from anger, from joy, from sadness and love ... Yes, it does not seem to be fil that you can not express in the middle of the night, in the middle of the city by an intimate horns could be it only to show off to all their other new horn. And because more than one billion people still find someone somewhere who feels just the same feeling honks, the one course of Solidarity with the same times. And so over the whole of India is a mystical Hupklang constantly, in my opinion is for after the most characteristic feature of this beautiful country. If one day I ask somebody about India to describe in one word, so I will answer: "horn" :-)

So far so good, others want to go back to the hotel and because I am also quite tired already very, I'll join you. I hope the next few days soon the opportunity to have another entry to put online. Until then, many greetings back home and see you soon

Can You Get An Outbreak Of Herpes From Shaving?

preparation

is coming soon.

First it was months, then weeks and now we have only a few days before us, and we will go to our so-long awaited trip to faraway India.

the beginning there was a list somewhere on a bulletin board somewhere in the Institute of Geology of Northern Bavaria Geocenter the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen Nuremberg. There was a preliminary discussion, followed by a seminar in which each participant on a specific geological or paleontological subject related to the excursion spoke (I'll try to each field trip stops one or the other right Vortragshandout - of course with the consent of the author - insert here).

was the culmination of the preparation of a treat with a difference: an Indian evening with real Indian food, cooked by a real Indian woman (the wife of our paleontology professor, Prof. Dr. FT-itself), we have also had to typically Indian with his right hand to us - a task which sounds easier than it actually was / is.

The first issue was the left hand is to deter "mitzuessen. Since at least I'm used to hold the fork with the left, I was constantly trying this for the take of the sauce to use in floating rice grains. Unfortunately, the left hand in India, but the dirty hand. Due to lack of toilet paper it is there mainly for the clean from the toilet claimed body parts used.

One should therefore also guard against an Indian entgegenzustrecken the left hand in greeting, would understandably perceive this as an insult.

The next difficulty was the eating process itself. How do you get rice with pieces of cheese and sauce on top of hunger in the wide-open mouth?

Well, after a variety of methods have been tried and miserably failed, came my geology student, colleague and an expert in innovative food Ferdl S. a great idea: take a large chunk of the food by hand, the thumb then run across the dripping mass to the small finger, the hand holding her mouth and push from behind with his thumb up the food all gone in it is charged. Anyone who might one day before a plate of rice with sauce, but has no cutlery was available, this method strongly to heart.

Furthermore, it is unnecessary to mention that it is pointless to wipe WHILE the eating process hands :-).

After the battle was decided with the food in our favor, we were released with a slide show about the last India trip and final tips in the long time of Entgegenfieberns.

Well, since that day I sit at my clock and counting the seconds until it finally is, until we are on Monday, 09.02. climb clock in Munich at 14:25 our plane to travel to another world, a world away from the usual home, a world full of new sounds, smells and experiences.

India here I come!

The first post

Greetings, readers of our India blog


You're wondering now, "What am I doing on this website" and "Well, if I have once because I know what to expect here? "

Well, I just can not unfortunately be answered. It said only so much that it will certainly be something extraordinary, something fascinating and exciting, something influence your thinking and action - and expand your horizons to all universes is. You will after reading this blog have only two thoughts: first

"I want to go to India" and

second "I want to study geology

... or at least something like that.

bonuses Bohnsack I. and I are trying our experiences and impressions of the first Erlanger India excursion under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Helga De Wall and Prof. Dr. Franz T.-itself here as exciting as possible present. Of course this is also the focus of the excursion - the geology - not too short . Come

Reporting will be divided into two phases. The former will be the above-mentioned trip, secondly, the subsequent backpack journey whose goal is not exactly in doubt, the most likely but will lead us to the Cape of India.


Should I have lured you herewith, so your next question will undoubtedly be: "Who is really to write this blog?"


For this reason I would like to introduce ourselves briefly.


One scribbler, "Daniel Bohnsack," called "bonuses", or some female Roommate, "the Bone", with three simple words can describe clearly: intelligent, rich and sexy.

The other man am I called Christopher G. Weinzierl, Christoph G. Weinzierl. To my description in three simple words: notorious, comma false Setzer, bald and in a few years (Bonis description) ² ;-)

So far so good.

We wish you enjoy reading our blogs and India would appreciate the odd comment quite pleased
