I love Zelda games since I was a kid. A couple of years ago I finished the 8-bit original zelda!

This is why it is not very smart to have solar panels in Germany when there is still plenty of space in Spain

I visited this beautiful German city in June. Here in Leipzig there are no traditional houses made entirely of wood and even if the city have a river, it doesn’t have a castle. That’s a massive difference in comparation with Bayern. When I visited Leipzig, the city was specially colorful because taken for the biggest national Goth festival. It was really interesting to see the extremely elaborated clothes goth people use. There are complete goth families where everybody, including seniors and children wear goth clothes!

Jumping in Leipzig

In Leipzig I met  Carolin and together we practiced tightrope walking on a park. It was my first experience doing this stuff and I need to say that it was a lot of fun, but I still need to practice a lot more: I could barely stay longer than 2 seconds on the rope before falling!

Recently I bought the cheapest DSLR camera in the market, a Nikon D40. I wanted to learn basic photography and the only way to do so is to actually go out and take lots of pictures. You can learn photographic composition with the camera integrated in your cellphone, but to actually play with the light you need the correct gear.

These are some test pictures I took on my first week. There is such a massive improvement over my crappy compact camera that I wonder how come I didn’t bought a DSLR before. Now and I have the basic gear and I only need to improve so I ask for tips and tricks to every photographer I met!

I didn’t visit Chennai when I first landed there at the beginning of my Indian adventure because we prefer to just rest and hung out for a few days. But on my last day in India I flew from Madurai to Chennai with time enough to explore the city before taking my flight to Europe. I arrived at lunch time and the flight to Frankfurt was in the late evening so I had time to visit the more important landmarks in the city. I met Dimitry in the airport and we explore together the city in a few hours. On the airport we took the best Autoricksack in India, new vehicle with a big pair of speakers and a subwoofer. No audio system, I guess the driver spent all the money on the speakers and he forgot to buy the radio

Driving the best Autorickshaw in the world

We saw the main monuments of the city, the beautiful beach were locals hung out and we went to a real Indian market to buy the same stuff this people buy. Chennai were my last hours in Indian soil. At that time I was so sick of South Indian food I just wanted to go to the airport and eat crappy Western food!
