Finally

After a month of stay in India, I finally got a food poison. This was, I think, from an not-so-fresh prawn.

First feel of vomit and stomach pain, then high fever whole night, then diarrhea following day. My friends visited me in the hotel room and one of them kindly went to chemist and buy me an energy-drink.



Guys, if you look at the instruction, those are different languages used in India. When you buy some biscuit from Lidl of Aldi in Dublin, you can see lots of European languages at the back of it, but this is only within India. I found it amazing. Hindi is not useful in Mumbai. Bengali is not popular in Delhi.

English is the best to speak if you are in the different region. Then I think it would be nice to have bilingual display on the bus though….

Second visit to India

Back in India from cold and wet Dublin.
Delhi still is hot and sunny.

By now, I'm used to some part of life in India.
I made a very good friend here. Because of him, I got to know more about culture, rather than being imprisoned myself in the expensive hotel and flipping TV channels all the time.

So far, despite everyone worried about stomach, I'm absolutely healthy. I don't know if it is because I;'m asian, or my stomach is redicurously flexible. At least, I'm careful about water here as I'm not used to it. Instead, I drink a nice Indian beer (King Fisher) almost every evening. Kanpai!

Back from Japan - busy, busy

I'm back in Dublin. It is pretty freezing here today. I'm flying back to India tomorrow. Weather tomorrow in Delhi is expected sunny 32degree for high. I am looking forward to the sunshine. Oh by the way, the wedding in Japan went very well. It was a sunny day and warmer than usual november. My brother was dead nervous. I don't remember what I said in the speach as I had enough Japanese beer beforehand though. Guys, I'll talk to you from India soon.

Back in Dublin


I am back in Dublin yesterday. No time to relax, as I am flying to Japan tomorrow to attend my brother's wedding party. I have decided to go back to India to complete the project after coming back from Japan. I have so many stories to tell you about my stay in India, but as you can imagine, Hidekis is extremely busy. So I show you one photo for now. Auto-rickshaw is a very usefull transport as traffic jam in Delhi is pretty crazy. I will talk to you soon.
