monsoon is back
Above is Guindy train station in the morning when it's not raining, bellow in the evening after some rain...It's been raining here for a while, but friday monsoon hit really badly...this is how Guindy train station was looking in the evening.. unfortunatelly i had to fold my trousers and go into this, i guess word*shit* is correct to use here.
few months before there was some kind of tiles and you could make the way, but one day they just broke it all and took it away... somehow secretly i was hoping that before monsoon they gonna put new ones... nope. It's only mud, water and garbage!

Indian woman: where are you from
Me: Lithuania
Indian woman ( looking cofused): to which country it belongs
Me: it's a country
Indian woman: what language do you speak there?
Me: Lithuanian
Indian woman: so, to which country it belongs? Egypt?
Me: No, the country is Lithuania
Indian woman looking to her daugther: aaaa, Ethiopia! she's from Ethiopia!!!!!!!!!
Me: L-I-T-H-U-A-N-I-A, it's in Europe
Indian woman: Czechoslovakia?
Me ( not event starting expalining that such country does not exist for the last 20 years): yes, north of it is Poland and the L-I-T-H-U-A-N-I-A!

South east asia trip continued: Malaysia Baby!
It's the last day in Thailand, Im sitting in the internet cafe and I can hear the sea. Amazing! All the time I was very sceptical about Thailand, because it seemed for me " turistu nuvalkiota" place. I really liked Bangkok, even put it on my " I could live here" list. I guess after Chennai, it's not too difficult to qualiffy for that list:) but at the same time, im more careful where Im putting myself.
The rest of the time spend in Krabi. amazing place, wonderful and almost emply beaches, beath taking sunsets, endless conversations with a friend and chilled beer:) perfect holiday.
Tomorrow morning Im taking a bus and headinf to KL! yep, Malaysia, baby!! Bus trip might be a bit challenging, but it's part of my adventure:)
I've chosen this destination for my Birthday! I'm excited to meet Kunes, Harish, Kotryna!:)
Malaysia, baby!
