There’s so much more outside…

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Having a great time in Asia… great and impressive.

I wish, my days would have more than 24 hrs., the weeks more than 7 days… 

Too short… too short to see to discover more… Now it can go on: Through Nepal to Tibet, through China, visiting Buthan, Bangladesh. Heading in the direction of SEA: Laos, Northern Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia back to India with Andaman-Islands, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Afghanistan…

There’s so much more outside… So many different people, at the end we are all the same. With same needs and wishes. So many different values. So many different faces with smiles. So many different religions living in one country… (will have to read more about this when I am back… Sikh. Hindhu. Tibetens. Muslim. Buddhism…)

Coming from public health office: Received 4 out of 10 or 11 vaccinations…

Okidoki. Just coming home from the institute for tropical medicine in Vienna. Heavy - got the first 4 out of more then 10 vaccinations: 3 in my left and 1 in my right arm. I was already vaccinated for Hepatitis due to my last trips through South-East-Asia. This time, it seems to get a little bit harder. And more expensive. I seem to understand… It’s good, that those vaccination is possible within two weeks…

Japanese Encephalitis (2 vacc.), Rabbies (4 vacc.), Cholera (2 vacc.), Typhoid (1 vacc.),…

I tolerated the serum very good, although my left arm is hurting at the moment a little bit…

My next appointment at the institute is on April 21 and April 28 - on April 17 and April 24 I have to take one oral vaccination of the Cholera-thing which is now in waiting in my fridge…

Cholera vaccination for India napolis.
