<font size="-1">well, err, that&#8217;s me!</font></div>
<p>You might not know it yet if you depend completely on this blog to keep up with my whereabouts, because I abandoned the blog a couple of months ago:<br />
I have been home from my big journey since November.<br />
I have been away for slightly more than a year. I spent about 8 months in India, and during the rest of the time I traveled in different parts of Asia<br />
(in chronological order): Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Pakistan, Iran, Armenia, Georgia, Turkey<br />
You can see the full route on my <a href="/whereami/">travel map</a>.</p>
<p>The trip was a fantastic experience with uncountable memories I am fond of. I will write down here on the blog various bits and anecdotes from the journey. And of course you will find loads of pictures in the gallery.</p>
<p>Now you might wonder if I made a typo in the title and it should correctly read &#8220;home again&#8221;. But no, I really mean it, in a couple of hours I will board a flight to Egypt in company with my brother. For the first week we booked a diving package in El-Quseir. After that, my brother will return home. My flight is on the 8th of January from Cairo, that leaves me with 10 days for traveling.</p>
<p>This time it will be kind of a new experience, because it is the first time I go traveling practically unprepared, quite unlike the last trip where I even took Hindi lessons for a year before starting. Now all preparation I did was ordering the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1740597419/bitmasala-20">lonely planet guide</a> and a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1864501839/bitmasala-20">phrase book</a> on amazon. So I have one weeks time during the stay in the diving resort to plan the rest of my trip.</p>
<p>Well then, I have to get a couple of hours sleep, have to catch the first train to the airport in the morning. Wish you happy Christmas and cya next year!</p>
