I have left India. It was not preplanned and the Idea was to go to Australia in stead of Singapore.. But as my Australian visa was not approved I had to stay in Singapore.
I have been here just for 3 day`s, but I love this place. This is one of the most amazing places I ever seen. I did not know how much I missed all this clean and organized world. A ship on top of a building`s struck me the most, I think. But then I saw a great water show, with light, sound, lasers, smoke, fire and story… It made me really emotional. That moment was something what I missed a lot and cannot really explain what was that.
This place seems like a great place to settle down one day.
There have been a lot of things going one in last month or two.. As my laptop broke down I have no way of recording and editing audio files… so I am writing. For second time since this blog was lunched.
I spend a lot of time in Bangalore after leaving Nepal. Most of my stay in Bangalore I spend at Arvinds place. A great couchsurfer. His place was always with people coming and going a true CS house :) Loved my stay there a lot.
Then my tribe came back form Nepal and I spend my time with them. We had a blast for a week or so in Bangalore exploring it in different way. And then we traveled to Gokarna, that’s West of India. Spend there about a week just chilling next to big water. Saw some wilde dolphins, I never before saw any dolphins in open waters. That was a really nice moment.
After we traveled up to Manali one week or maybe more up there. Having a really relax time there. And we made Reunion with Burning Snails as we had not seen each other since Nepal. I really, really enjoyed my time in Gokarna and Manali.
As Franchy was planning to go to Australia to work, I thought that I could do the same and join him. Thing was that he is from Franc so he can get working holiday visa which is easy… Being from Latvia you cannot get that… just the tourist one and for that they want a lot of papers… well not that many actually, just the ones you cannot get if you travel.. But Franchy still got tickets for us and after two day‘s we started our way down South to Chennai. As the tickets was the cheapest from there. Manali is around 3000km away form Chennai… that‘s a big journey on its own. Took us 16 hours in bus from Manali to Delhi and 36h more from Delhi to Chennai… Arriving in morning it was not and easy task to find a place to stay in. As it was season all the guest houses around train station was full. After 1h of searching we found one guest house – shit hole. That’s all right, we already had use to bad places like that. As it turned out later hatel was on a loud street so in the night we could not sleep well. While we where in the train Franchy got sick.. the usual thing – diarrhea. And it made him really week. So all and all the Chennai was not that nice for us. We spent there 2 nights and head away to airport.
Flight was really uncomfortable, but that;s what you get for budget traveling. Arrived in Singapore around 6 in the morning.
Leaving tomorrow morning to Malaysia to meet up with
NOMAD®..
