Goa.......

First of all I want to say, that I´m trying to put some more pics on my site, hope it´ll work this time......

Well, what did I do the last weeks?
After having moved to the new flat things have changed drastically. I mean, it is not bad to live here, but it is much more expensive to go into town, coz father away. And at night there are only few rikshaw drivers that want to bring us home, which means even more money. Bargaining ("handeln") is not an option if you really depend on these guys :-( And all my flatmates come home even later, because of the longer distance and the traffic jams...... don´t like that. BUt -hold on- still having a good time here!

Last thursday was the farewell of Vince (the Dutch guy that I hang around with a lot, especially on the trip to Hampi). Great party! Came home at 6 am, getting to work at 8 am; two hours of sleep is simply not enough........ At night me and Micha took the bus to GOA. Vince and his girlfriend Sarah and Martin (D) and his girl where already there. The bustrip was horrible, coz we didn´t sleep much the night before due to the party and it took 10 hrs to get there. When we finally arrived early in the morning my legs and feet were totally swallen (at least now I now what they mean by thromboses........ I was really scared when I saw it; buy the end of the day it was over). Well, than we arranged a bungalow for the two of us, and me, Micha and Vince went to the beach. The weather was sunny and we chilled the whole day ->great!!! The water was refreshing and we had lots of fun. Martin (he had stayed in Pune as an trainee as well, he left 2 weeks after I arrived) and his girlfriend from Germany arrived and so did Sarah. The 6 of us did nothing, except for lying in the shadow (well, Micha was lying in the sun...... totally burned!), going into the water and relaxing. Nice talks as well. At night we had a cocktail and watched the sunset, beautiful, but too short. We were all really tired so no wicked Goa-beach-party. Yesterday was even more relaxing, went bodyboarding. In the evening me and Micha had to leave and say our final good-bye to Vince :-(. while the others went on travelling we had to travel back, coz today we had to work. Really unfair, because 2 days and only 1 night in Goa is just not enough........... we had booked a sleeperbus, which means that you have a bed- kind of. There are two layer and each compartment has two places. At first we thought it was really funny and chill, to ly there and talk, but when you really want to sleep.......... we got the worst places: last row upper bench. We bounced and rolled around the whole night, hit my head a couple of times. Good thing was that there was not much space, so on the one site I rolled 5 cm against the window, on the other 5 cm against Micha. It was good that we are such good friends, otherwise I wouldn´t have slept at all. Oh ja, and for Micha it was even worse because he was severly sunburned.....well finally we arrived (having slept only little) at 8 am in the morning- 12 hrs in the bus. We rushed home, took a shower and both went to work.
Now i am really tired, but the weekend was totally worth it!!!!!

This week now big plans, hope to see my other flatmates tonight, try to have dinner together, because some of them went to another place and I am curious about what they have to say.
On thursday and friday again farewell-parties. Laure (F) and Fernando (Colombia) are both leaving. I hope there will be more girls coming soon, when Laure leaves I´m only with guys. Of course I´m not really complaining as they are all really nice, but......, hey,...... shopping, beauty parlour (yep, girlz, I went there, 1 Euro 50 cent to wax your legs, really cheap but unfortunately it hurts as much as back home),..... well, i´ll see.

Okay, babas,
that was it for today.
Enjoy the pics.

Salam namaste.
