    Usually when I am in India, I avoid crowded cities. My go to place is Goa ( which is peaceful), Amritsar ( another beautiful place in north India). Manali ( heaven on earth).
    In Germany I live in small villages for example Ludwigsburg, Apsberg, Baden- Baden, Litchenburg.

    What a country this is. Overwhelming, full of surprises, people everywere. It's an attack on your mental wellbeing. I guess you just have to let it happen. Absorb the culture and enjoy the trip. I also follow a fellow motorcycle traveller Marcus a German guy. He is now in India. Incredible what he does. Ok, have lots of fun and see you in the next episode. 😎👍

      It really is a place like no other! The senses get pushed even more once we pick the Motorcycle up and venture out if the city. India is not an easy place to travel so big redirect to anyone that does 😎👍🏻.
      Thanks and catch you again tomorrow as we explore the ‘Slum’ area of Mumbai.

      Depends on the city or region you are in. There are places which are very tranquil but doesn't get much exposure in the global media. Most tourists to those places are domestic tourists. We actually avoid places like Delhi, Mumbai because of the chaos

    Just a tip from an Indian guy is when dining and using your hands, only eat using your right hand. If you are a left, then fine but keep your right hand clean. One hand for eating and one for the bathroom.

    Lots of Indian words found their way into seagoing parlance (due to indian crews and ports visited) "Doing a Dhoby" was the common term for doing your laundry and by extension - the washing machine is known (on a ship) as a "Dhoby-engine" I still sometimes revert back to those terms when on holiday with other lads who have been to sea.
