I can't believe it. It was definitely a bit sketchy at times. Well, anyway, it's back to a work for me. In fact, I start on Monday, so I re-enter reality pretty quickly. I ... http://www.iokf.com/world/?p=31 Okay, here is my San Fran entry. So I was basically here for a couple of days and essentially did nothing. I stayed and hung out at my friend's place. We watched episodes of Coupling, the British comedy, saw a French martial arts film and basically chilled. ... http://www.iokf.com/world/?p=30 Hello everyone. So my stay in Hawaii was interesting.

Let's ... http://www.iokf.com/world/?p=29 So I arrived in Auckland sick on a Wednesday. I was also scheduled to go on a bus tour two days after I arrived.

I would say that the two things that ... http://www.iokf.com/world/?p=25 Well, I arrived in Seoul in the early evening and made it without much trouble to my hostel. Navigating the streets in Seoul can be tricky. The main streets are labeled well, but then the small streets and the millions of narrow walkways are not really labeled. ... http://www.iokf.com/world/?p=24 Ah China is a bit different then India. China is definitely not as conservative and not as poor (at least Shanghai compared to Bangalore).

Shanghai ... http://www.iokf.com/world/?p=23 Hi everyone, So here is my account of Bangalore. First, it took me two days to get to Bangalore since I had to fly through three connections (Tel Aviv - Amman - Delhi - Bangalore).
