Bse Post Closing Session Timing

departure for Munich

is 14h to 16h driving my train to Munich (Zugbindung!). A colleague and co-author has just sent me his final notes for an article that I just must still submit to a scientific journal. I remain thirty minutes, to incorporate its fundamental criticism.

home at 15:10 I noticed that my pack system "small backpack in large backpack does not work because both elements are hopelessly overcrowded. I brace the Great on his back, he goes to me (1.87) over the head, the little I under the arm. In the tram will dissolve the buckle of the Expedition backpack (€ 25). The outer claws of the round part should remain anchored in the hollow counterpart, I will widen. The next attempt will cancel one. Without it holds the buckle. When changing planes I take in the familiar Dresdner redirect chaos unerringly the wrong tram. To catch my train yet, I have to do with the menhir on the back of a complete crossing of the Prager Strasse (pedestrian zone). In addition to the shopping public to get to me like a pioneer. It's raining like from reservoirs. At the same time I'm sweating how stupid. Goodbye, Dresden!


The regional stutter with wet landscapes. The driving experience is something of rowing in the Pacific. Feel a little seasick. The train stops at weird places like Niederwiesa, Hersbruck (right Pegnitz) or Chemnitz.

I sleep solid n with mom and dad in a modern flat-building in Munich-Englschalking.

Business Object Xi Reportauto Refresh

in Munich as a tourist

extensively fattened by nuts (baked toast, lasagna, tiramisu, ...) I'm a travel experiments that are described in the "Lonely Planet Guide to Experimental Travel" as a backpacker exploring his hometown. The carillon at the Munich City Hall will now be voted in and the surprised visitors now hourly instead present only at eleven clock in the morning. Instead, I walk past the chic cafes of Leopold Road and the fine boutiques of Hohenzollernstraße. However, I do not use other elements of the experiment, such as address and interview locals about the sights and nightlife.

I'm sitting in the imperial garden with Katrina, a friend of a year together in science. She likes my skepticism about costumes and the general desire in the workplace rather not share. I appreciate their appealing way, she insists on my hot chocolate mitzubezahlen (€ 4.20). For the price I know I'm in Munich. But the cup is as big as the glasses from which you drink half a beer.


Then it's off to Fürstenried in the south of the city where my old friend Tom Tomorrow celebrates its 40th anniversary. On the ground floor of the house of his mother, where for decades white curtains, still life etc. Alpine recalled the early economic miracle, is packed in one click trading floor. And waiting for rooms equipped with changing table, etc. the young, he expected a year ago and his wife Annie had brought from America in late September.

The day ends with the tasting of muffins and the like
for the big celebration, video games, lunar eclipse and herbal tea.

Thick Leg Brazilian Gril

birthday

I live in Tom's former apartment under the roof, virtually an entire apartment. The day begins about eleven, we cut f UR expected thirty G aesthetic potatoes, carrots, eggplant and chickpeas.

The festival starts in the early evening. Some of the guests are language school friend of Annie, including the Ecuadorian Denice, which gives me a few final tips. Better yet, however, meet Christian, whom I've known since the college level, and his girlfriend Barbara: Ram is a South Indian who comes exactly from the corner where the two want to fly in early October. I also get to know Alex, the mechanic I had a few years ago unknown as mediated by my father Tom, to repair his scooter.

For salads, appetizers, cakes, there are grilled. F
ÜR the Vegegarier offers the grill marshmallows from pig gelatin. Annie has a menu of 21 cocktails on offer, of which I only three manageable. At midnight's birthday. There are nasty appropriate gifts for the 40th Christian, Barbara and me a basket of shares that Tom will remember things that he will no longer come, including a cake in the snow mountain shape (skiing) and the self-compiled CD "Bavaria Goes America - And Back".

Tallest Rollercoaster In Texas

Amsterdam and fly to Ecuador

Christian and Tom kindly bring me to the airport. After the baggage we discuss a few questions about the meaning of life.

I have seven-hour stopover in Amsterdam, before it goes on with the airline KLM to Quito. Hard to believe: the first time in Holland. My mobile phone, while my only camera I leave for safety's sake on the plane. Then run I from pillar to post, to get it back. But neither stewardesses still cleaning staff seem to have found. repeatedly I'll leave it at my number to ring three times since and, lo, s inevitable at some point someone. However, I hear only L poorest so reminiscent of aircraft engines. The next test is off.

I'm going first by train to downtown. When rain I agree not to be cast Kracht ride. The Borsteinschwalben behind the windows I miss the weather conditions. Young people in coffee shops drinking herbal tea. Instead, I sit in a tapas bar and eat lamb stew with garlic bread. A touch of holiday atmosphere prevails.


to my wireless phone is there any new insights. Apparently Mezedhes wanted elsewhere. So I probably 3 1 / 2 weeks will be unreachable by phone, not bad. Seventeen hours of flying start. The first stop after ten of the "Flamingo Airport on Bonaire (Netherlands Antilles). There is a drop off duty. After that no passenger on board less. The new attendants served the same breakfast, it was two hours ago, and we show the same security as the video after the start. At the second stop in the 3-million city of Guayaquil actually get off some, but just as many again, for the McDonnell-Douglas 11 flies, cleaned temporary, right back to Amsterdam.
For the third time I see the security video. On the approach to Quito, the Cotopaxi volcano rises like a white pyramid of the sea of clouds. The white on the summit, however, seems to be smoke, because of this volcano is active.

f by generic growing street need and settlements ährt me a taxi driver to the hostel Auberge Inn . The hostel looks really much more realistic than the web. In any case, I have arrived.

Quito is 2850 meters above sea level and is surrounded by green ünen four thousand . But good mountain air f ühlt differently in the lungs. The Auberge Inn is located exactly between old and new. Actually I was planning to send immediately the forum Couchsurfing for residential customers. But my nominee for host had minute cancellations m ode and after that I got only one offer, which I on the ground would sleep must and can only check in the evening .

To get to know a city best to set a small task. In my case, the exchange of a 50-euro note.

The lady at the counter copied my passport, I also already known Ma ßnahme . But when they my phone number f ÜR their computer form know m öchte , I wonder something.

first before I take the New Town, which is a less spectacular

In the center of New Town is broken in the framework of an ambitious experiment extensively on the road ßenpflaster. Sch ön it looks like not.

Can You Still Kiss With Throat Cancer

Quito II

The center of the old town of Quito is only after 2000 must have been designed, as it looks today: clean and tidy with magnificent buildings from colonial times and classicism. The whole Pastellt in fresh pink Önen the colors orange, mintgr ün, t ürkis, and ocher. F UR belly traders and servants, however, is no more room. An oversupply of opulent churches, boulevards, alleys and courtyards can imagine the atmosphere when things are not as straight rain.

I decide to call the first phone number that I got from local couch surfers. Isabel ordered me into the of chic shopping mall "Centro Commercial Del Bosque" in the new town and get me with a bronze-brown Stra ßenkreuzer Benz brand from. You, 28, photographer, lives with parents and two brothers in an apartment, whose noble chic living room with several chandeliers and gold-trimmed, white wooden furniture would queue a luxury hotel is good. To come into the house, you must pass a security guard. From Unexplained ärlichen Gr easons believes Isabel, I wanted to stay with her , while they had me, for that matter, canceled. You m uences now work the same. At least I get from it even the hint to take the bus to the slopes and starting to take the cable railway to the city hills.

farther hochkurvt the bus tend to want to solve the more temporary brick buildings, chic, colorful blocks from. A wizard collects from passengers quarter dollar coins. At the terminus seem dust, missing roofs, to stray dogs and dog-hut-like dwellings to slum. This is what Hühnchenbratereien and Internet cafes on the doorstep. From a cable car on the other hand is nothing to see. In the alley next to it goes up another bus to the village boundary. Again, there is definitely no cable car. The view is still pretty
: a settlement mosaic that spreads uniformly dense in architectural mix of styles of sinks and hills.

The bus takes me several miles to the north down. The sun is shining now, and sweet Ecuadorian music seeps from the speakers. Below were including "Life Is Life (Opus, 2x)," Brother Louie (Modern Talking), and Boney M. - Boney M. cover themselves or performers. The path through the houses feels quaint.
Ever GE I find Quito in its bustling diversity always besser.Die ride ends for me on a road where the North American style leaked a fast food restaurant following the next. The "Control" (trolley) bus, a kind of quick line, I'm in thirty minutes along with Quito in the Old Town.

I walk through a mix of park and shopping center, where merchants in their shops almost exclusively sell mobile phones. As found in Ecuador on every street corner phone booths, I decide to make up my technical bottleneck of two decadent Kodak disposable cameras. The "Plaza de la Indepencia" (also called "Plaza Grande") with their government and Kirchenpal branches shines in the sun in opulent white and the purple blooms of large bushes. Gradually something similar I suspect, why Quito "City of Eternal Spring" is mentioned. Daf ÜR lack of gastronomic culture: the cafes are usually L Öcher in stone walls with camping tables next to a deep-freeze ühlbox. Where towers over Rio de Janeiro a Jesus, wake of Quito his mother or the Holy Virgin, who is here somehow Ecuador's independence symbolize ängigkeit. At the edge of the ancient old town rocking boat with fresh öhlichen people on board with a water filled down üllten concrete channel of the H ügeln. One s ähe like entirely of styrofoam, h aett not au need to kick two iron cranks.

evening I let cut my hair for two dollars. Serve with English or a combination of two words: "cortos (short) and" no "(not). Interestingly, the hairdresser washed my hair, has after they cut. This washing should have only improve the cutting. At night, the streets in a warm yellow light bathed, occasional streetwalker blink from passers-by to. For me, the day ends with a local club of beer.

Cotopaxi

Yesterday I lay in wait outside the bus station on already some badly dressed men. They wanted me to Baños, Guayaquil and elsewhere bring. But I only wanted a few miles to S üden down the Panamericana. The dirt looks like a red station heruntergewirtschaftes, mehrst öckiges car garage with rancid honeycomb snack, junk stalls and notd ürftig barricaded ticket offices.

When boarding the bus guides I read

Cotopaxi II

... Daf ÜR I must now make the Cotopaxi tour alone - partly because the French do not escape from their union, partly because the organizers make sure that all drivers are in use.

Let 's to 3200 meters from the hotel. At the Pan-American Highway with a local woman rises Erchen daughters to.

Software Exception C0000005in Tally

A Banos

At breakfast I know that my last night during the blog-writing, a feast is missed: giant guinea pig, such as suckling pig served at a time and cut into slices. Someone from the Israeli travel group (which I had not previously mentioned) must have had birthday. Very religious seem to not be on the road.

I stand at the Pan-American Highway, to stop a bus to Banos. A practice that I had seen on the journey. I lift my thumb. After some buses are rushed past me to declare a tourist from Quito waiting driver, which means lift your thumb in Ecuador, "free". And I would pay the few dollars for the bus without hesitation. I wave to the forearm as the driver I am fooling. There goes an hour, the buses are too full. Here, the drivers would collect the cash prize and probably economies in their own pockets. I'm coming out with another driver added that he may take me half an hour for ten dollars to the bus station after Latatunga if until then I still would be around here. Two minutes before the end of the period of holding even a bus.

I am grateful for the standing next to a sack of rice, puff pastry and a cardboard box a young woman who pushes her baby at the breast. The radio sounds like a heart-tearing Male voice: "Estoy Cruzificado", "I'm krutzifiziert" or something. In Latatunga I know that it is only through the industrial city of Ambato to Banos. On the way are four elongated Cuys (guinea pig) to be seen on the streets, which are rotated on a spit at a barbecue. Heads and paws still easy to recognize. From the Terminal Terrestre (bus station) in Ambato is no bus to Banos, as explained to me the guy at the counter, and I have bothered him at the study of a porno mag. A couple I met, it will have learned that there Banos for its own station. The last two were also at Cotopaxi. The girl came to me there already familiar. I have no idea where. The two are from Munich. Hm We share a taxi.

go to Baños it past kitschy chapels lush canyons - again and again crossed by furrows, the lava has dug into the ground.

Marie Banos is a lively pilgrimage and Heilquellenort, close embrace of nebelverh üllten mountains. Everywhere Internet cafes, L Aeden with original Inca cloaks , hostels ("Hotel Dusseldorf", "Hotel Bar Restaurant Les Alpes"), colorful wooden stands, improvised Travel Agency OFFICES Cuy and grill stalls. In short, the ideal location for ÜR come. Actually I wanted to stay with the Couch Surfer Daniel, but he did not give me his phone number tell more when I could come. Au ßerdem seems to me his address incomplete to be incom. So I pinto first in the "Hostal Santa Cruz" field.

goes against three's for lunch in a local-scales. The feisty proprietress rattling down the main dishes and side dishes. Not a word I say now and then understanding "Si". W hile I wait at dinner, l äuft TV in a children's program. It hosted a guy who looks like a red-haired Marilyn Manson in Star Wars-uniform with peacock feathers on the R Uecker. When the landlady half an hour later ethereal, studiously ignoring me, even begin to eat, but sometimes I ask after the whereabouts of my meal. She claims I h aett ordered only the juice, the drink I would. I begin to argue loudly. What was hindered by the language. Elsewhere there Loma, ie loin steak with fries and Kichernerbsensalat. On the R ückweg I unfold all four Fotogesch cantle from the city, but none has the right paper to develop films of Kodak disposable cameras.

are over the evening to report the following: see panpipes combo in the restaurant "Bon Giorno". Try on a street as green stripes recall, in taste and texture of calamari. Vegetarian tacos to get a basket of popcorn served. W ä during the l äuft a confectionery buyer through the restaurant, and the Inca combo from the pizzeria to play. In the refrain of the first song is "Ecuador" which, the Second is simply "Ho!". Very atmospheric. Then I prefer something around the houses. Even at 10 am is danced. In the first shop I enter, I am the only gringo and raise the average age of my appearance at least a year. Sp ethereal it is not better.

Gay Hot Spots In Oregon

En Banos

Daniel answers me to my suggestion that it to meet I was always in welcome to him. Only we could see at the moment, since he just au outside the country while. Hm I Barbara and Ingo meet again, the nice couple from Munich. Them it seems just to Mallorca-like. They borrow wheels in order to cycle downhill to Puyo direction jungle. The luggage will bring all of them, the wheels go sp ethereal the opposite way. Me the "Casa Hood" recommend for breakfast. It is very comfortable and reasonably brash. There, I meet a laid-back guys from California. We talk about beer traditions compared vs Bayern. USA. He tells me that the U.S. Budweiser brewer was bought back from a large Belgian brewer. Hopefully, that approximate the Belgians the recipe the Czech original.

The Basilica de Nuestra Senora del Agua Santa "is so called because formerly supposed to have turned the holy Virgin the Lava / mineral water from the city Tungurahua volcano in holy water. Is just fair that people pray to the orange-golden altar against the background. Huge paintings document miracles of Mary, and a beautiful female voice sings a beautiful, wistful song, but rather reminiscent of "El Condor Pasa." The attached "Museo Fray Enrique Miderus "offers a wealth of curiosities collection: colored marble panels with Mary surprised, childishly painted images of saints, pink wedding dolls in the Barbie-style simplified Inca art imitating or embroidered dresses in outrageous color combinations, a Jesus figure, the hands are chopped off, a porcelain-Omi with knitting and the complete fauna of Ecuador in stuffed form.

I try "Alfenique, candy bars, made from thick ropes that depend days next to the window before they have the right consistency. Here, the rubbery material is stretched, rotated and beaten with Schmackes against average dirty house walls.

lunch time has come. Actually, I did this yesterday Cuy have tried, but all the guinea pigs barbecue stalls were closed in the evening. But now have to believe the comical creatures turn. I enter a wohnzimmergro
SSES local, even before the turn already looking at the mirror copies ß. The friendly landlady I placed a plastic table where taste itself a family specialties ät l ässt. The SC hweinem ärchen is served with potatoes and rice. The vault gold trans skin crust reminiscent of a half-animal on my plate to duck. Head, eyes and Teeth are clearly visible. At the middle Ueck h ängt still turn a claw. The whole f ÜR here decadent $ 7 Man eats with H change, because as just a set L öffel provided. Lich taste is somewhere between the delicacy of roast suckling pig and Kaninc Hen located. Excellent.

After lunch m öchte I actually climbing, but there are too many clouds on the road again. I prefer the spa. The "Piscina de la Virgen," the young woman Spas are below a 200m high waterfall. Native American-looking people with colorful Traditionsumh fears and dark H üten wait before dressing boxes. Again, I am the only gringo. F UR $ 2 admission at the weekend ($ 1 during the week) can I take a plastic crate f UR clothes and belongings. That this wegschlie SST, but not provided. Prior to the locker room is purely forward nothing, and in the thermal pool romp f ünfmal as many people as in there are d ürften so that the situation had something to do with recreation. So I then go again in a clean hotel.

re Plastikk
örbe that can lock up here, however. But some of the daf ÜR provided for wood doors are so worn out that they can not shut off. Again, only locals. There are free grapefruit juice. On this occasion I have mentioned times since and that you get everywhere in Ecuador fantastic juice of all kinds üchte Fri. The lifeguard told me that stays lit in the Ecuadorian saunas swimsuits. On the other hand, you put here with no towel. The Saunab s, Junk themselves are nailed together boards, the plan set move it forward. At 68 degrees the sauna is wohltempiert - like the ice pool, which is ignored by the Ecuadorians. Daf UR sit for hours in the hot water. Its action consists solely in schrumpelnder skin. Maybe you have to believe in the thing with Mary, so that does more.

In the "Cafe" (not "Casa") "Hood" is the evening ripped off Dub, the Indian elephant god Ganesha covers an entire wall, and I eat a "Ecuador plate: fried breaded potato pancakes, fried eggs, corn, Avokadosalat and red cabbage that tastes like lemon grass. Best is the gazpacho-like, spicy condiment. This plays a new pan flutes combo. After an instrumental and a Colombian song to thank the four material in five languages for the applause, in as many languages they can use the word "tip". Funny the final Inca interpretation of "Lambada" is.

The party street "Eloy Alfaro" Sunday is deserted. In the bar "Mocambo" I like to try the burnt sugar cane brandy in this area with the beautiful name "Necta. It tastes of honey less than after Schnapps. Rafal angels to see the original in the Old Masters in Dresden, smoking a ciggy on the wall here. As a nightcap, I take a "Volcano" - a cocktail glass in the snap of "Licor de cana" (cane liquor), mint and grenadine. The top green and bottom red Drink is flaming, on fire for twenty minutes until a good part is burned. And tastes like heated lava.

Holy Family.

laundry and jungle tours offered. Later it occurs to me what the synergy. I have a bag of dirty laundry and a self-washed things that do not dry. After I presented the two nice ladies washing five times my wish have, we can do business.

The English is `s ever such a thing: I manage well, provide with the help of my dictionary cube questions, but I do not understand the answers. At this point I have to praise the Ecuadorians times: They are nice, helpful and unobtrusive in particular. Obsolete offerings such as cleaning shoes are limited.

From Banos (1800m), I'm on me to go up the hill "Las Antenas" (estimated 2600) - According to guide the ideal base from which to see the house volcano Tungurahua (5023 m). Banos in 1999 had to be evacuated when the Tungurahua threw ashes. As a result, soldiers guard the city, and because they the time was, they got themselves added hookers. In the city still are pictures from the last small eruption in August 2006. On the way to climb to get past a display in which the bronze figure of a bare-breasted black beauty next to the Virgin Mary stands.

The path to "Las Antenas" passes by eucalyptus trees, called sporadic cows, donkeys, horses, mules, dwellings, the "ranchos" and two azurrblauen birds. For the 7.5 km climb 2 1 / 2 hours are provided. I am after some sports, 1 1/2h later, I walk up the last hairpin bend. I think. Although this transmission antennas, but far and wide, no volcano. Only clouds and over the hill, a new hill. Perhaps it is meant to guide the vantage point of these hills. Perhaps the Ecuadorians on foot, and I have been going for an hour. First, it is thirty minutes downhill. Just below the clouds an eagle circles overhead. Only that I'm here wandering on the road, I did not mention. After 2 1/2h I've run into a nasty blister the ball. I open with my hotel key. After 3 h, appeared on a new hill, another hour away. The view then opens in the haze finally consists of only mediocre valleys and mountains. defend barking dog scattered cattle.

forgiven During the descent, some Clouds. Opposite me, on the edge of the valley, located in the Banos, opens up a mighty mountain. The summit of Tungurahua, which is further surrounded by mist, I look at later on the web.

I am naked in the bathroom to shower. A knock. I barely pull me about, and open. At the door of my hotel room, the entire staff of "Laundry Nicole" has lined up. I had just paid when picking up my laundry too little, they say. $ 1.50 for the bag of clothes they had just dried off came. I pay and shower before I me dry.
