the journey

salam.

21st August 2007.
finally,all of us safely reached india.hehe..the journey was kinda treacherous (?) starting form the plane ride itself.. sigh.T-U-R-B-U-L-E-N-C-E at the Bay of Bengal, o'coz.and at that very time,we were served dinner--chicken curry. g0odness.=|

estimation of total travelling hours from home to davangere: bdr. sri damansara to KLIA : +/- 1 hour (at a NORMAL speed car ride)
kl-bangalore flight : +/- 4 hours (900kms/hr plane speed)
bangalore-davangere : +/- 7 hours (70kms/hr) on coaster ride?
for a 265kms distance? =0

"an aye opener" like abah said.hehe..the 70kms/hr coaster ride was a journey like no other.sOoo many new things to see.things that i thot i might only see it on Tv..whooOsh!

1.cows
2.buffalos
3.goats
4.sheeps
5.windmills! really pretty =)

"windmills...scattered on the green hills of chittradurga"

6.sunflower farm! yellow-ness~
7.people carrying water bucket on their heads
8.bus filled with people in & OUT (any ideas?)
oh yeah...pig..pigs..pigss..pigsss.

on the coaster,obviously everyone SLEEPS like yell...though outside,the "sound of horns"-- =) are hooting endlessly.believe it or not,"PLEASE SOUND HORN" signs are painted on almost every vehicle here.this is REALLY something new..in Malaysia,horn means..."what daa?!", "oi,tepi sikit", "de neh tak pandai bawak kete ker"..hehe.but here,it means,"tumpang lalu..","tepi sikit,I nak lalu neh","car comin'!" so basically, the high-pitched horn is heard on almost every second.i find it amusing =P (luckily,the airplanes have no horns! =P)

we reached bapuji guest house,finally.*phew*. ehem,the c0aster..this is it.. 70kms/hr coaster! yeah!

REGISTRATION at the Bapuji Dental College&Hospital. OUR c0llege!~ yippee.

JOGFALLS the second highest waterfall in the world..I swear I just knew it.hehe! we went here about a week after arriving in india.this waterfall is one of the attractions of Karnataka state.they said that this place is nearby..yeah! its five hours journey man! dekat betol! we passed through a few places to get here..among them is Shimoga City,which looks like Davangere, probably a bit larger i think.but, jogfalls is beautiful anyway..


this is an three-wheeler..or an "OTTO" (od-dho),they call it--my taxi to school!


well, living here is definitely something..and I am yet to discover more~
