The attitude of a cow

So guys have you seen cows in India, especially the cows in the streets!?!?

Well the attitude that these cows have are like:

 - Hey man, get the f*kk out of my way!

 - Hey dude, I am standing here go around!

- Hey honk all you want I wont move!

- Hey hey hey, I am sleeping here!

- Aaah hey dude, this is a great place to take a p*ss!

- Hey dude, I am holy, down on your knees ... NOOOW!

Here is a link to my youtube channel and a better quality video.

- Heeey maaan, whats uuuup, do you like my new style!?!?

Relaxing at the pool

I was just relaxing at the pool this Saturday, just for a couple of hour and having some beers as well. Temperature was about 33-35 degrees in the shade but I need some sun as I haven't had that for a long time and I never ever be in the sun but this time a really felt for some sun bathing for sure.

In the sun, the sun actually was also reflected from the hotel windows so it was two hot suns on my white skin.

Infinity pool

A couple beers at in the sun, so nice to finally get some relaxing time.

ZURI room tour

A quick picture tour of the room that I am staying in at The Zuri hotel in Bangalore, India. The room looks like any other room, I mean all of the different rooms that I have stayed in looks exactly the same as this one.

Going inside the room, it is an "ambient lamp" in the floor

One bedroom 

Working area

Relax corner, a really soft chair

King size bed, nice and firm

Only using the left side ... perhaps I should try laying in middle !?!?

Nice lamps and some piece of 'art'

32" flat-tv with so many channels mostly Indian of course but there are some movie channels as well.

Front door

Minibar and some snacks, my travel case and laptop bag from Peak Design

Bathroom sink

Well I could have put the lid down/on ;-)

Bathtub, will probably have a bath today.

Magnifying mirror with lamp so you can see all your wrinkles and pimples ... no really useful when shaving.

Black Dog Liquor Store

I asked my taxi driver from Zuri hotel tonight if he knew about the 'Black Dog' and he knew it well he said, "- A really great liquor store!!!" ;-)

I have only been there once and yesterday I had another driver that remembered me stopping there a couple of years ago and he said he remembered me buying the 'Old Monk' rum then as well as tonight. Unfortunately I do not remember him.

So this cost 570 Rupies, it is about 78 Swedish Crones(Kronor, SEK, Kr) ... so cheap.

Pepsi 2.5l

Kingfisher(strong 8%) 650ml

Rum 43% 750ml

TUK-TUK lunch

Karmegam and me had a discussion that took longer than expected so we got really late to the ABB lunch restaurant and it was such a long queue and hot as hell that we ended up in a UBER to the Phoenix mall instead ... well actually to the mall next to Phoenix which is called VR and the food court there. After some food inspection we decided on the TUK-TUK and some Indien food. I thought it was pretty cool ending up at TUK-TUK as these small taxis in Thailand are called TUK-TUK but here in India they are called 'Autos'.

TUK-TUK 

Thums up cola

Some Indian food, great taste a bit hot but good, all veg.

So pissed off, going to meeting the managers at Zuri hotel tomorrow.

I am so f*cking pissed of right now that I actually have an appointment with the manager of The ZURI hotel.

I havebeen treated so badly so I will probable move to another hotel and let them pay for it ... you ...

Well OK that's not true at all, I am actually invited to meet them for some drink and a small chat.

So NO I am not p*ssed off and I am enjoying the stay here at The ZURI hotel in Bangalore, India.

Zuri have these events were you can more or less order any drink you like or beer(no Champagne thou) and I been too all of them I think, I might missed one when I got sick, otherwise who turns down a free drink??? not me ;-) ... yep I am alone here in India so nice meeting people ... I mean there are only 12 Million residents here so I do not see so many ;-)

Thank you I be there, if I am awake!

'The big Banyan tree'

This Saturday we went for a sightseeing to the 'Big Banyan tree' which 400 years old and have circumference of 250 meters(diameter). I actually thought it would be bigger but it was a really nice place to visit. I like nature and walking around here taking photos and videos is so cool. What a place. The tree has some monkeys, squirrels and lots of birds singing.

Sunday beers in the sun

I have been really busy  ... it is both a good thing but also of course a bad thing for you guys if you want to see what is happening in f*cking Bangalore .... right!?!?

Today is a lazy day, I woke up pretty late but still tired and tried too sleep a bit more but couldn't. So about 11:45 I went to the pool bar/restaurant to get lunch and some beers in the sun. I stayed there to about 2 pm so I might got some sun on my white skin.

Paneer ... somekind of cheese.

Kingfisher beer

Water is needed in the 34 degree heat

just a beer and snacks ...

3 hours sleep and then dinner

Wow I am super tired, I have only had 3 hours of sleep and worked about 8 hours then went back to hotel for 1 hour, freshening up, going to Windmills Craftworks for dinner at 18:30 - 20:50.

So now I am back at hotel even more tired but the dinner was the best I had in Bangalore all time.

Here is some pictures.

Modern cars of today

I am happy that the development of new car features have gone so far and are so sofisticated and can keep a driver awake or rather just wake him/her up if something seems wrong when driving.

Yepp once again I got a taxi driver almost falling asleep behind the steering wheel. 

Good damn.

I was wondering what was going on as he was driving great for the first hours then he wandered of the lane but the cars safety electronics kicked in and reminded him to stay on track. after a while I had to ask him if everything was OK.

Well we did not crash and ended up at Arlanda airport but I am happy he had a new car with all these safety features.

Lift off today

I am now at the Stockholm airport called Arlanda. Flight is in 1½ hours going to Doha for a layover of about 2½ hours and then to Bangalore, India.

Arlanda Terminal 5

I have been here so many times now that I cannot even remember/count how many times. Well I like traveling so I do not mind at all being here. 

I will be landing at 2 am in Bangalore and then I have to get the luggage, going with a taxi to the hotel ZURI and be there at about 4am!?!? I will try being at office at 10am, it will be a tuff day but I will manage it. The only issue I have is that there might be a dinner later that night and I have too think about it if I can even go, I will be really tired I guess. Lets see what happens.

Less than one day left.

Tomorrow morning at this time I will be sitting in a taxi going to  terminal 5 , Arlanda airport, Stockholm. 

Yepp taxi will arrive at 05:30 Am for about ...well depending on the traffic ... less than 2 hours drive.

  

I actually tried 'order' a taxi via their homepage but I just got some strange sms telling me to confirm the 'order' but it could not be done on the homepage !?!?

Since last year or so they change the layout of the homepage and it now sucks ...

I hate neighbors ...

Yep got new neIghbors and got so mad of the music ... sorry not the music but rather the boom boom boom F'CK you so I so I told them to f*cking pay respect of the neighbors

F*ck You !

Everybody hates their neighbors .. right?!?!?

Another vaccine shot ...

So I called the ABB witchdoctor in Västerås and asked if he had something so I can prepare my stomach not getting a tourist diarrhea as I actually had it the last two times I been in India and I do not want it again. However being there at the witchdoctor I showed him my vaccinecard and he said "Hmm, you are missing one shot ..." - What I said as last witchdoctor said I am set for life now. Still it is OK, now I am fully set for life.

Aaaaaoch!!!

No it did not hurt at all ;-)

I also got what I wanted and it some drinking medicine to prepare my stomach to be more resistance to any bacterias (tourist diarrhea) called 'Dokural'.

Dokural mmm good stuff .... not!

So hopefully I will be a bit more safe ... I do not wanna get sick again in India :(

What camera gear to bring to Bangalore

The Canon 5D Mark IV ?

The Sony Alpha 7R II ?

Nikon DX3 ?

... well I guess none of the above as I do not have any of them but something I bring probably the GoPro 5 black and my old Canon M1 with adapter for all my lenses and of course my Iphone 7 Plus with the DJI Mobile Osmo ... cool anyways ...
