Last news)

Do you remember I wrote that I don't have any acclimatisation, so unfortunately I have it now))) Today is the third day of it... it is awful, I feel sleepy all the time...
That is why I didn't enjoy my the only one day off that I have on Sunday.
So yesterday was Sunday, we had some really cool plan for the day.

I can even show you it))) cause I and Chinese guy Bruis wrote it before going somewhere))) and Igor laughed all the time when we planned everything)))

so this is our plan:

8.00 - 10.00 - Northern park of Kolkata & ancient Temple
10.00 - 14.00 - Indian museum
12.00 - lunch
14.00 - 17.00 - Eden park
17.00 - 18.00 - The bank of the river, to see the sunset
18.00 - 20.00 - go to the festival
20.00 - 21.00 - South City Mall

So we were going to get up at 07.30 and start our day trip)))

Now I tell you how it was))) haha

First, everbody slept till 8.00, and only I woke up everyone at 08.15)))
We went at 09.30.. With us were Taiwanese guys and Chinese guy Bruis))

Second we forgot that on Sundays subway starts working at 14.00. So it was too expensive to go by taxi to the Northern park of the city, cause we live in the Southern part of Kolkata))) that is why we went to the Indian Museum by taxi. Came there approximately at 10.30. We liked it, it is quite big and nice, nothing special, but it is worth visiting.

After we decided to have dinner at 14.00. We showed guys our favorite place in the Park Street)) We ate Indian food. And I promoted everyone Kolkata's sweets there and all of us tried something))) hehe

After we separated from guys, cause they wanted to visit Victoria memorial and we heve already been there, so we went to the park. As it was mentioned in our plan, I wanted to visit Eden park, that is very popular, but Igor showed me another park - Eliot and I was a little bit disappointed)) but not because of park, but because I expected to visit Eden park))) But still it was so nice there))) so quite and relaxing, so we have a rest there under umbrella cause it was raining at that time)))

At 17.15 we went to Victoria Memorial in order to meet guys and went to the bridge. There were so many people near the Victoria Memorial, especially on the field where everyone plays football and cricket))) One day I am going to come there and join someone to learn how to play cricket))) who knows may be I will like it so much)))

So after meeting guys we took a taxi and went to the bank of the river. I saw a lot of people there washing, swimming))) haha it was very funny looking))) I saw even how they drunk this water... yap))) A lot of boats)) we also have to try them one day)))

After we started asking everyone where will be Ratha Yatra, cause this festival always take place in different part of the city, no one knew about it))) and then we were told that there were no festival on Sunday and it is better to come next day. May be today we will be lucky and find the place where it will be)))
So there was nothing to do for us, we went to the South City Mall.

haha as you see sometimes it is difficult to follow the plan))) especially if you are in India))) haha so many unpredictable things can happen)))

Cool calm evening)))

Yesterday we decided to stay at home in stead of going somewhere.
All other interswent to the dinner to some restaurant and then to club.

So we had cool calm evening))) We cooked together))) Our Chinese friend Brus (actually it is his nickname) showed us how to cook some cool sous from new for me vegetables and leaves that I had never seen before))) So it was noodles with those cool sous)))

But it wasn't the Chinese dish... but anyway it was really cool and tasty)))

After we decided to have a dinner on the balcony... we liked it so much))
But we wasn't there for a long time cause there were so many mosquitoes and they ate us so fast, so it wasn't possible to stay there long... haha)))

We went to the room and started chatting about everything and it was cool and nice))) then I decided to show Brus so photos of Russia))) he liked then very much, than of course I was touched by it and I continued showing him more and more... and he was so nice and asked so many question))) haha poor guy))) hehe Now I understand than may be he could be so tired of it... but it is that I like in people like him)) they are so patient and polite))) so it was nice)))

I liked our evening so much)))

Sometimes it is better to stay at home and have calm evenings))
