No rest for the wicked…
It’s been a while since my last entry. If I get this right, I have been in Berlin, Stuttgart, Frankfurt, London, Zurich, Milan, Hastings, and who knows where else since then. The picture on the right is from Zurich airport, which apparently has the longest business lounge airport bar in the world (it was indeed pretty long). My friend Brett once recorded a song with an Artist named John Fournier called “Drinking in Airports”, which kind of stuck with me 
Have been collecting my boarding passes and it’s turned into a cute little book. Have to figure out how I can use it somehow… In the least, I might scan them and then we shall see. Maybe I will use them for my Once-Around-The-World Party invite. That’s right, Once-Around-The-World. I guess that other people have done this before, and some in 80 days, but for me it’s a first. I thought I would return to LA after finishing my project in London this week, be there for a few weeks and then think about going to India for a vacation and to visit my cousin who is over there at the moment, but things turned out a bit different…
Looks like I will be going to Chennai (Madras) end of this week as soon as I am done here in London, and no, not (just) on vacation, but to work on a project over there… Of course, not having been home in the last three months (wherever that place was again), I will travel there with all my winter clothes that brought me through the cold months in Europe. There, I am told, it will be about 40 degrees Celcius and 85-90% Humidity. Think I won’t need my jackets… Then it’s on to LA to exchange clothes, catch my breath and all that good stuff. At that point, I will have actually gone around the world once this year having started in LA in February – thus the party.
After that it’s back to India until the end of July and then… we shall see… Don’t have a plan yet, but am sure I will have one eventually, even if no plan ever survives initial contact
How appropriate, though, that my mystic tour 2006 would actually lead me to India. What better place. Had hoped to be there this January to study with my Yoga teacher’s teacher. Then I had hoped to go there to visit Auroville, where my cousin is currently working on a project, but that, too, did not go as planned. Now I am going there for a whole set of different reasons, but I still hope that I will have the chance to study some Yoga, see Auroville, check out the Theosophical Society, and maybe a couple of Ashrams and magnificient sages… Ahhhh…. mystical it is indeed
On that note, here a collage with more pictures taken for a picture contest a friend of mine is holding. Of course, the topic is “toilets”…. The ones below are from Frankfurt and London (Camden Town):
