What Are The Best Gloves For Nordic Walking

Pondicherry India - Welcome to the chaos of truths

Now I'm so there! Rein been hurled into this different culture.
landed on Wednesday evening in Chennai. What is happening here, despite any description, you can do so much before reading about this country or talk to India about Travellers, you might just have seen to be believed, and perhaps to understand at some point!

The flight and stopover in Delhi were still ok, ok in the sense that it was expecting my western thinking, friendly flight attendants, clean + safe airplane (when I consider what I have already read all of negative reports on Air India), a morderner with Western standards comparable Airport (via the comments are enough), no lost luggage (this was my biggest concern). The 9 hour break, I sit around with sleep, and spent reading. Evening, then the domestic flight to Chennai was where I landed against 23 clock time.
leaving the airport building began sometime around midnight my India adventure and connected to the first shock. I thought I'm in the wrong movie. The airport is a huge construction site, an Indian told me later he would sometimes be as modern as Delhi, maybe in the next millennium. All the first impressions of Delhi Airport here were destroyed within minutes, the Indian system took me on. What I expected, no idea, as I said, one can still imagine such a lot, it does not hit close to reality! I push my trolley

from the airport building, which is already dirty and depraved. I need a taxi booked to come to my "hotel". In D. I had made me smart definitely take a so-called "prepaid taxi", fixed price and the driver also goes to where you want. As soon as I walked through the door greeted me just the sound of the Indian road traffic, honking and shouting period. In addition, left and right behind the bars blocking hundreds of people, some with names on signs, as much as I would have liked to apply nachhin in my name to read on such a plate. After a few meters I saw a bunch of people before a simple wooden table, with a cardboard sign over "prepaid taxi". The air is muggy and oppressive, even at night it cools off here, not particularly, at least in the south. I'm tired, hungry, sweaty, would just like as soon as possible in a clean bed with previous shower. Then arrived at the taxi stand in front of a loud noise I mean the guy does not, I knew what should be the price. He lays out a receipt with a higher price, ok I think in the very first night you have to haggle, it too early to start for the countless other times.
No, I would not understand, it adds another passenger, an Indian, told me in English, the one here is paid a fee only at the booth, and later gives the driver the fare and the receipt.
of a receipt in hand, I put myself in a long queue at the roadside, just like about 100 meters from the airport, countless people the cars squeeze through by a hair, an incredible noise, Flue gas, stuffy. I know the taxis can park here should not have to pay a fee, they always go in circles. Then everything goes very fast, it gets hectic, the type of wood on my table writes Qutittung number plate "Thats your taxi", the driver recognized me, grabs my big backpack, throwing him into the passenger seat, I hit the back seat. Phew, ever passed the first hurdle think it is still a long night.
I've also read that one to the driver until the receipt given at the end of the ride, otherwise it can happen anywhere else and then he breaks forth more calls. So I show him only, and explain where I want, I had printed out the address. We drive away from the airport to the city. One knows it, there are no traffic rules, before each intersection just gehubt, then drove over it, red lights, a fun escape, there exists "normal" driving on the left, cows, humans, numerous types of scooters and motor bikes, see through my window I fly by the road trains, semi-demolished houses, ragged men in the gutter.
attacks Suddenly the driver, a young Indian of his family with 2 children fed hereby, the cell phone. If I had a No from the hotel. Why, I do not understand me correctly first, think he wants to ask for directions, which I did before I asked at least 3 times if he knows him. Typically Indian as I learn later frequently to always say yes, and ask yourself rather then 10 by a ride with a white can not miss.
The following is a brief conversation to get then announced by the young family man, the hotel was not in that of my district, it is somewhere else!
Great, I think, had a really bad feeling but what can I do hope that I can trust him, and especially in the middle of the night, arriving there somewhere and he turns into a dark side street.
It came as it had. At some point we want to be a multistory depraved, for Indian conditions normal-looking house on it with the name of my hotel. The price has naturally increased because of the detour around Rs 50, it is only a few cents, but at this time (actually today) for me to feel about the principle. I am complaining, refer to my receipt, it helps anything, I press the Rs 400 in the hand with the words "For Your Children", a short embarrassed smile on his face, at least this small satisfaction I have.
This is the first "fraud" was, one could also say learn the hard way that every one of the first go there once paid. The second should not be long in coming, at the front desk of the so-called hotel, more like a multi-storey Apartment building looks like, I know that the price confirmed to me by email for a room today would have increased! Again my principled comes up, now coupled with emerging anger, I repeat I will only pay that price here, so I should go first time the application forms and Case description sleep. An Indian
towed up my backpack and accompanied me to my first class Zimmer.Damit takes the day, this evening a grand finale, should by now I realized I am in India and not in Europe.
So, a room I think we in Europe do not even see the last railway station area. A double bed which I knew after one look, I consider that me with my own sheets, lay hold not even to the ceiling. A TV in the corner, the ceiling fan whirring in the back corner of a closet I did not even open my. Two windows with grids, at least sure that a flap I have a gap, and erlbicke a house wall, pipes, no, I'm not sure, maybe a bathroom, namely a Toillettenkasten me I see!
is The best thing about the room, the Indian-held bath, verrosteteter means in the wall installed shower head, two valves, which are anyway only cold water, a versiefte toilet bowl, a sink, a faucet, a mirror, a plastic bucket, two small cup (first in the new Guest House was I explained that this is for the toilet, toilet paper are in fact generally not ind. Toilets is, therefore, manual cleaning with the left hand + water). But I've own it.
I have to overcome much, it helps anything, I'm so sweaty, I need a shower anyway. More or less I hop between the jets of water through it, and put me at some point to 2 clock to bed, no, thanks be to God brought to my sheets. The worst thing about this room but the smell, a musty, old smell, not to describe what it is or from where, the whole room survived it, I do rub me a little toothpaste on your nose, it helps only briefly.
So this is my first night in India, wow. Although I am dead tired, but it would in no sleep, more or less just a doze, thoughts shoot through my head, always look back to door, I feel is not really sure the money is under the pillow, the "defense spray" at hand.

The next day I will check out, oh in the morning there is almost cabaret, the guy at the front desk asks "How are you doing". Prima I say, sleep well, pleasant room, the ironic smile hard resist! "You look fresh," he replied then. I say no more!
The rest soon: a short walk through the streets, confusing, hot, stressful, noisy, People with legs like straws. Changed money, paying the increased price hotel, with motor rickshaw to the bus terminal, air-conditioned 4 hours. Bus trip to Pondicherry, an evening booked earlier in the Guest House, happiness, the room is already free, I open the door to paradise, clean, bright, no noise of cars, sea view.

Today the 4th Day. Have in my Guest House talked to several people, it is normal to go every so when the first comes time to this subcontinent, the poverty, the filth, the beggars, have now approached me about 3, all women, one with a baby the poor, difficult, once I gave Rs 10 you must develop your own feel for it.
It is probably still take a few days, it simply blows all Western standards, rules, conventions. It is like a mirror, brings one to think, can also be a great opportunity, a further, fundamental!
But as far as I'm not, step by step, each day with the noise of poverty make the heat, eventually one hears, one begins to see then what's Hiner the filth, the misery, for which India for thousands of years is known, something which is no longer in the west there, concealed, suppressed, lost by the material, here, where materialism has not (yet) taken over completely the upper hand, here it is by flashing even when you're open, ready.

Mother In Law Forced Me To Wear A Girdle

Twice Gold at U.S. Nationals

Hello,

as already suggested last week, I sit now in the plane and have a 5 hour flight ahead of me. time enough to write a few lines about my first participation in U.S. championships.

It has for me began on Thursday with 200 yards documents. In short, 1:50,2 minute was below all expectations. I'm with the setting entered the race that just because there are yards, I can just sprint through completely. After 100 yards I got a receipt for it and I received. Nevertheless, I can not discourage me, because I knew I'm in good shape and not my physical condition at the poor performance was to blame, but tactical error.

On Friday, I mostly had to do. It started for me with 200 freestyle. 1:35,58 I could lie with a good time in advance and have qualified as the fourth fastest for the A final. Shortly afterwards, the 100 breast, which I have also mastered satisfactorily with 54.69 seconds. In the final I was able to increase to 200 freestyle once again a little bit and was fifth in 1:35,53 minutes, coinciding with Dominik Meichtry. The entire final was very close, so I missed only a half-second to win and only a tenth of a second to Ryan Lochte, the six-time Olympic champion from the United States. Shortly after the B-final was followed by more than 100 yards breast, with 54.71 I could confirm my time from the morning and was satisfied.

followed Following the 4x200 yards freestyle relay. The USC has dominated the season and brought with 6:22,19 gold, and I am a 1:35,28 swimming with a flying start.

That was my first title ever in national or international open championships. Kind of funny that the American title is my first.

were on Saturday for me, only the 100 freestyle on the program. Morning I missed in 44.06 eleventh by less than a tenth of a second the A-final, the B-final, it was then for me at 44.32 worse than expected, but I have not thought about it more great, because the 4x100 freestyle still awaited and we really wanted to win. After Vladimir Morozov, who led the squadron in a fabulous time (42.06), we were able to extend the lead over the other teams also won more this season with a new school record in 3:51,58 minutes and missed the championship record by just four tenths. My 42.99, I swam in the relay with a flying start, was pretty neat, and I am glad that my performance could improve on the B-finals again.

The balance of my first major competition in the U.S.: Season 2 gold, and a fifth place. My conclusion: I am very happy that I have disputed this competition. I could improve myself again, and I have made mistakes, learn from where I am. In the college championships in almost three months they will not happen to me. I've also seen the times of other foreign Freshmen and also talked with some of these swimmers. The also report that they still have to get used to the train yard. So, this phenomenon occurs not only with me.

love greetings from (I think I still fly over) Ohio

Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil

time

Currently, we know hardly where to begin, so much is happening around the world. Today I want to start with a few personal thoughts on the events that happen in the world, only to find a transition to my current life and its developments.
watch any of the somewhat with, open awareness through the world and is observed, we can see are in a special quality of time.

On the one hand, our fast-paced, technocratic welfare society is becoming ever more to gain momentum, ever newer technologies, more and more stimuli, so that more and more demands on the modern man who is trying in this fast-paced to keep track.
On the other hand, it makes this Internet age possible, we can know within a few clicks on various blogs, homepages and Videoportalenn, all about new truths or enlightenment, of secret U.S. embassy dispatches up to the discovery of a new bacterium in a lake California by NASA, the phosphorus instead of arsenic (Gift!) mitaufnimmt in its DNA structure and thus lives, an entirely new picture on the origin of life, throws decades of convictions thrown over board.
Obviously it so much that the date as usual, correctly, scientifically proven, was considered politically correct, must be rethought. Normal citizens are living in their familiar environment, with the apparent safety of a bourgeois world view which was shaped over the centuries by science, religion, politics and media, begins now to question much of what was seen as normal and,,!
And this can I be my view, no coincidence when you try to see everything in a general context! So I've

my transition from the great world stage on my little modest life, namely the statement with an open, wakeful consciousness to go through the world, and to question, especially, existing! This premise was one of my personal Bewegründe initiate change in the autumn of last year, "observe" after years and recognize, too, to question old first, then leave it and try something new. This new, this departure into the unknown for me was at that time associated with traveling.

Now it is but so, which has since so has been some time passed, I saw a lot, felt and experienced, have talked a lot, especially lately with more people in Germany about my current life. And I realized that there certainly are very critical opinions. This is a good thing! It was clear to me from the beginning, so I set myself to take on this, and would also to some extent ! Polarize In order to counteract a certain form as a mirror, so that everyone in this polarity reflect his own, perhaps even questioning can! Only now the wrong impression, I am anything but an apostle or missionary, even from my very own conviction of character to me is any kind of missionary work far to deny myself against all forms of ideological proselytizing, especially religious in nature!

Anyway, now I'm asking myself the first time "mirroring" I have received, and reflect on my current travel life.
A conversation a few days ago a friend gave me a glass of beer but to think much. His statement was, in short, if I to the possibility would always return to my "base" in Germany in order then to live there comfortably and without additional cost to get new travel ideas, imagine, then I would not be a long time in history the way, yes, he said, it would have I make very different thoughts, would be perhaps even a social event (Hartz IV), since all the money was squandered, or should any unpopular job at all come to accept just so to make ends meet!
First of all, I can not hear out of a concern to slip, which in turn speaks to him as a friend, and I am pleased, on the other hand, I say it quite clearly, my dear, if you have the previously conceived in this way, you have absolutely nothing of the recognized what I was doing from the beginning and still is!

Now of course I imagine even now and then the question of external effects, what can be wrong, and am now done with this entry, the effort to bring a little more light into the dark, notes for my decisions, my motives to give, not to justify, no, considering the initially described, in the context of a special present time the (new) truths.
The first impulse is to me, and I've actually tried all of my previous posts to solve is the difficulty of experiences, thoughts, Sensations which we encountered in the outside to handle internally to prepare intellectually and then in the form of words for a wide audience to express that it is understandable, entertaining and at times is profound. In my eyes there is a first language restriction, because you can do try to pack a lot into words, but sometimes it is very rudimentary, reflecting what has been perceived within.
is the second, which focuses on the motivations for the trip from the beginning again changed, and still does, I'll go so far as to say at the beginning it was mostly outside, nature, new countries, people, etc., is now it more and more towards an inner journey, where of course the exterior nachwievor is very important (as in the outside, so inside. As Above, So Below)

not the material wealth is our goal, as we after we die anyway have to leave everything but the personal development of consciousness .

(from a blog)

The third and last one I have always tried, and I kommunziert so also for "outside", to show my feelings, my intuition or my heart (there is new research which, it in the heart tatsächlihch is a similar neuronal structure as in the brain to hear).
And above all, on the way to respond to the circumstances, each containing Day is new and unexpected. Taking into account these two points, is much easier to understand, I think.
A few examples: my job at the hotel in Tokyo, I get just because I announced I had to decide quickly, and the first job, which was not easy but in retrospect was absolutely right. After my stay at the monastery, I was for a cash check very quickly became clear, unfortunately, really unfortunately, it is not enough for a long stay in Japan. After the first few weeks by bicycle through Germany this summer, many pleasant encounters and changing landscapes, but I could also see how difficult it is every night and every morning to build up and everything, especially if you traveling alone, and how far it is still to the north of Sweden really pristine nature. It was a daily balancing process between cost, effort, weather, motivation, and the question of what comes next! Nevertheless, I do not want to miss this weeks experience, these things were other pieces in the great mystery, and then came back to new.

The well-known travel writer Andrew Altman wrote in his latest book:

"It occurs to me that is one of the motivations for travel, the desire to leave what we know already, just what one is familiar, so often ermüdetet, have not been great. The desire gnaws the shifting sands of repetition to escape. And it heads off to the visit, which is strange, unfamiliar. "

see this quote echoing I use this blog in its form as an online day / Travelogue as my medium of expression for the unknown, unknown, for all existing and all future, for the Reports from the road and strengthen the internal and external developments in me and the world around me, always with an open heart and mind awake!

After almost a year I had to mention this important time, virtually the first résumé. Much Plan ahead and advertise I would not still propagated, also increases the excitement and curiosity of readers interested in what's to come, but one can I say now, already, the next report will be packed again more from the world with strange and funny. In two days, my flight goes to India!

Enough words for today. Fits to the end a quote from Lao-tzu:
. "Those that know do not speak Those who speak do not know"
