India, I'll be back someday! I promise!

Time flies! 10 days i Kolkata already! Where did they go?

Been helping out at the Mother Teresa Center as a volunteer a couple of days. I was in a center for old people who were disabled to take care of themselves. It was really something.

Other than that I did A LOT of just hanging out with people I came to know in the backpacker-place-to-be, Sudder Street. I did some more yogalessons from the top of my roof. Loved it. Got a present from my studens when I left. That was really nice of them.

My friend, Andy, convinced me that he was a brilliant haircutter, so I let him do his thing with the scissor. Usually I'm the only one who gets to touch my hair, but fortunately he didn't let me down. We borrowed a seat in a barbershop and were a big attraction for all the indians.

Alexis' stop-smoking only lasted for a day. At my suggestion, he will wait untill I'm not around anymore to experiment with silly stuff like that haha. Just to much intensity for one woman to be around. Hope you'll do it someday, Alex. Let me know how it goes - by email ;-)

Sudder street was definately the place to be i Kolkata. My days with all my new friends were so great. I didn't wanted to leave, but at the same time I knew it was time to move on. Everyone gathered for my last night in India and we celebrated, going dancing at an Indian club. My first time out in the town since if got to India. Man, I needed it!

So, back to the beginning again. Left my bubble of security ones again; all of my friends and my lovely two-week travelling partner Alexis. He tried to teach me the whole time, that I shouldn't be so worried travelling as an alone woman. I will try to not let you down and follow your advise!

Oh - by the way - Got my appartment subleted to my friend Jonas back at home! Amazing! More money to travel for :-)

See ya!
Maj.
