| North Korea is probably one of the most mysterious places on the Earth. Not because something special is going on there, it is just sooo protected that far not all can enter this country. Even if you pay $80 for the visa application, the probability that it is rejected is quite high. But once you enter it and obey the rules, it is unforgettable.

| “Sorata, Bolivia, is the kind of place that makes me want to buy a house”. The irresistible beauty of the surroundings and the pleasure of hiking entire days in the Andes make of it just the perfect place to go. Of course, this is apart from some misunderstandings with the local guide, but this is another story.

| Climbing a vocano solo, at night, whithout first checking the weather conditions...? Crazy, but an expedition that will make you feel victorious and... miserable. A drop of humor, however, will keep up the spirits. In case this is Yotei San, then Japanese hospitality may provide you with a hot bath, after you’ve been soaked well in the rain.

| This entire story describes a painful attempt to see Volcano Cotopaxi. The rain and everything seemed to be working against it. Won’t there be at least thirty minutes of clear weather to get to see this flawless scenery?

| How about a sip of rise wine through a worn out plastic tube with holes in it? Oh, yes, that only after the a 100 years old patriarch of the village with raw, swollen gums had sipped through it. Sorry, but such is the “ceremonial” drinking… Then the camping style of their living, with their clothes in a sack next to their mattresses... Go figure!

| When I looked at the picture of this mouflon I have concluded, this is a very elegant animal. Moreover, in the midst of a forest painted in the whole range of autumn colors. Hiking can indeed reveal some things you would not have a chance to know otherwise.

| Kochin |

| Remember Columbus and the Spice Islands?- That’s Kochin! It’s one of the most beautiful smelling cities in India. The language is Malayaam, which sounds like if you rolled your tongue indiscriminately and said "blublub". The writing constitutes of what looks like a lot of curly 'm's and 'w's. So nice. Coconuts? Everywhere! Overall? Very fine!

| Going to India might be a disappointment, unless you take into account that you’ve actually entered a culture different then yours. So, when things don’t go the way you were assured they will, don’t conclude everybody’s a liar. Rather, take it a jest of kindness. I know, I know it’s hard. Maybe a visit to Bollywood will help take off the pressure?
