get the wor (l) d

Of course, first and foremost all-clear, clear, here everything takes its course Indian. Was planned for 11:30 am on Sunday at the luggage delivered to your door. We were, as it should be, just have breakfast, then had to wait for the delivery driver's something here but no one bothers further. Schedule.

Unexpectedly, however, the invasion of my laptop by ants. The appreciate quality, has discovered at least once in the first night, a tribe of mini-ants, the fascination of the art. What, if you open up the laptop in the morning and look out between the buttons again and again ants as if they are outrageously disturbed while sleeping.

When disturbed sleep, I! Where I spend here the roof to sleep about 50% of my time with. Something called jet lag, nice to here that it is ne excuse. A further 50% of the time I'm on the internet, finally sees from here is quite different. And I had to necessarily just before the departure NEN new server for my emails and set it so wishes, of course, are now cared for now. And then still remain about 50% for the real adventure in India, which makes clear that the time is pretty scarce here.

Yesterday I got myself so then go for the first time alone on foot towards the city center. So directly after the midday heat, to go about 15h30 local time we went. Target was a green park I had ever seen the previous day out of the car, and something green can never hurt. Well run, so what, well run. I'm not really expected to arrive where I wanted would be, yes even better without a map. But an attempt was worth.

Instead of a quiet park, therefore, came out for the classic road chaos, NEN market and finally the intense smell of Indian cities. Unique.

Because something is not happy in the long run, makes the evening we went with ner NER Autoriksha to screening. Was a film about the fishermen on the coasts of India, which are eaten by globalized capitalism. It is worthwhile to build castles tourists directly to the coast and it is worthwhile to dig out the sand from the sea and to flog. Even nuclear power plants on the coast are really lucrative. Unfortunately, this leads to the coast Verkapitalisierung displacement of fishermen, because the only just feed themselves and not really put a lot of coal companies. Currently available for these processes, most deprived under the label of coastal management, million fishermen of their existence.

What they do not naturally fit. Organized into a powerful union, they are committed to taking action against the management plans, including who it is the classic DavithGoliathScenario. After the film, and NER interesting discussion of options and ways we went back by rickshaw home. Have a total of an exciting day, just the different positions in the discussion after the film I NEN new insight into the social movements given here ( http://www.alakal.net/ http://www.keralafishworkers.org )
