#1 (Love) Hotel
I was staying at Park Guest House (which is, like many accommodation options, managed by Sri Aurobindo’s ashram, the spiritual center of the city): beautiful view on the beach, peace and cleanliness for 6 to 8 euros a night.
Don’t expect to be warmly welcomed but your room’s name might make up for it.

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT INDIA #4 CHEESE
10 janvier 2012 by a*urélie

Advertising baselines on billboards, like « Smile today and keep smiling tomorrow », have made me conscious of how sophisticated [...]

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT INDIA #3 SERVICE
9 janvier 2012 by a*urélie

THINGS I LOVE ABOUT INDIA #2 ABSURD AGAIN
8 janvier 2012 by a*urélie
For some reason I ignore, restaurants in India are called hotels. They serve local meals and more often than not Chinese dishes.
According to the time of your order, only certain sections of the menu are available. For example, from 7am to 11am, you can have plain idli (a kind of steamed pancake made of lentils [...]

7 janvier 2012 by a*urélie
I am back from a month and a half in India, where I took a lot of bad pictures with a lomo and recorded my daily adventures in a diary… Enough material to bore you readers ♥ to death, at least until the end of the world, should it come next December. But worry not, [...]

As we were at the register, I noticed [...]

SUMMER ANECDOTES
16 octobre 2011 by a*urélie
#1- I stopped over at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi airport on my way to Koh Samui from Tokyo. There I had to get my luggage and check it in with a different airline. As the last bags were turning on the carrousel, mine was missing, but I could strangely feel it was not lost. I looked around [...]
