The Eastern Experience

This site is under construction!!! Expect better layout and loads of scanned photos from the trip soon... I just couldn't wait getting it on-line!
On 15. August 1998 I set out on a journey to the east with three of my friends. I traveled in India and Nepal until the beginning of January when I returned to Denmark. This homepage is an attempt to collect the - for me - most significant moments of this journey, depicting the cultural differences in the native people of the countries from ourselves, trying to put into words the wonderful and strange experiences with these people who inhabit a world so vastly different from our own. Between the lines good advice to other travelers appear, because the only way to �learn� how to travel in a specific place is either doing it yourself or communicating extensively with people who have been there.

Inevitably the most valuable source of education is the mistakes you make on the way, those that teach you how not to do it, leaving an enormous spectrum of possibilities of how else to accomplish specific tasks on the road. If all this seems somewhat open-ended and non-specific it is because the same methods and approaches can be applied to almost any given situation. It is all in the state of mind with which you deal with the local populace and the things that happen to you and around you. The best thing you can bring along on your trip is an open mind and oceans of patience, since time has a different meaning in this part of the world.
This homepage is divided into sections. First major section deals with the Annapurna Circuit trek in the magical mountains of Nepal. Next my experiences with Tibetan Buddhism are put into words, and finally the impressions and descriptions of my wonderful month in Goa, India are passed on.
