Arriving in Bangkok is like being in retreat wonderland. Massages, facials, pedicures, manicures, hair extensions - anything to make you more relaxed and more beautiful. While i plan to give myself the full package on my last day here next week, I could not resist but try out this "spa fish" treatment. I admit, I did it for the novelty factor, rather than th[...]

Guess where I am!? Bangkok!! There sure are no bacardi breezers in India. One has to consider himself lucky to come across a bar and when you do, be sure that it closes at 10.

To be totally honest I didn't like Kolkata too much. It was polluted, had an impossible overload of cars on the street and the offer of stuff to do was pretty poor, I thought. Either way I thought I'd upload a few snaps I took walking around the city.

We got to Darjeeling 3 days ago expecting romantic landscapes, Himalayan views and chilled-out cafes [...]

Amritsar came to me like eyesight to the blind. At one point during my traveling years I decided that I was not interested in temples, museums and sights in general and I regularly skipped those pages of my travel guide in favor of markets, neighborhoods and cafes which is what I enjoy and consider a better testimony of a culture as it exists in the present[...]

It's Wednesday, 8pm in Mumbai. Leaving Berlin went so smoothly that I should have guessed my arrival in Mumbai would be rough. And it was. All the traveling has made me a little cocky because for the first time ever I did not check the "getting to and from the airport" in my guidebook, because if I had, I would have known that rickshaws are not allowe[...]
