Asiasource 2005, 5th day.

NOTE: I posted this blog a day after as the network was down!

Today we were going for the outings, As you all know I decided to go visit the IT technical place or whatever they call it!
I woke up at 7:30 or 8 I can't remember, I didn't sleep much as I slept at 3+ AM
I had plenty of time to eat breakfast and I really liked it, And do NOT ask me what was it!
After that I went to wash my hair after I had my morning coffee.
The bus left at 9:30 exactly!
Reallty I think that I miss the city, Though I really liked vistar, Which is the place we are in now.
We went to the IT thing to discover that visitors are allowed on Saturdays only, I don't know what happened but they allowed us to enter after a lot of waiting, But they told us that photoes are not allowed.
We went inside, We stayed at one place for a while, Beside a cafe, I found that all of the people are taking photos so I decided to do like them "actually the camera caused a LOT of problems, Maybe inspired by Murphy!", We then moved outside the hall, Stayed for a while and that's it.
We went out to the busses and off to the "ashram" which seems to be a religious thing, I didn't enter and then I really blamed myself, We don't see these things everyday. Anyway, I went to buy batteries, the one I found was Eveready, And I asked her whether they have a better one or not, She said that this is better!
I was sure that they won't last for the camera as Energizer lasts for about a day and a half, But I had no other choise.
I bought 4, each for 7 Rubees. I found that the memory card is full. I emptyed it, Took 2 or 3 photos and that's it. The batteries are dead. So I really ask anyone visiting india to "GET THEIR OWN BATTERIES WITH THEM!".
I want to say something here, Maybe the ammount of people begging for money are not much, I think I met 4 or 5 during the whole journey. But they really insist on begging, A lady passed by me 3 or 4 times asking for money and she keeps holding her hand so you might give her something, Actually one of the times I did hold my hand like she did, But nothing happened, Another time I had to push 2 away from me and shout!
Anyway, the other 2 batteries took 3 photos and that's it, I've spent the whole day swapping batteries. One of the times I've got a memory corruption but after a while when I powered on the camera I didn't find the error, I decided to copy my data too, And did I say that my phone memory was full 2 ?
We left the Ashram and went to a place which had a small garden, We passed by a public service hospital which was damn beautiful
we sat down to eat, I found a dog there and I was really frightned to see her, Actually she was frightned too. Now that's really amazing!
For 10 rubees I had a coconut to drink! The idea is simple, They get a green one, make a whole in it and give it to you to drink, It wasn't sweet but I think I liked it!
So we went shopping! We took the bus and went to a place, We had about half an hour to do it, I went and bought "The C/C++ programming language", Books are somehow cheap here. So After I bought them I drank a amothie! A brazilian banana one, It was nice. Then off to vistar again "it started raining".
So a whole day woth almost no coffee, Bad.
I went to the WC to fulfill my physiological needs.
We had a gathering at 5:45, I attended the Rugged Computing session, And wen to eat after that.
I think I'll really use solar cells and/or wind to charge my batteries when needed, I also liked the cell phone charger that generates electricity by moving a hand around "it's a simple dinamo for sure".
I was at the lab after that, steph. "not sure" came and announced about the movie, She left and after a while I went there to see just to hit the part above the door and scratch my head, I think It's OK now. I'm nott watching revolution OS with them. I'm at the lab drinking fanta as I found neither cola nor pepsi nor mirenda!
I'm not sure whether we'll complete the bzflag party organization or not, Hope so.
But I'm very tired and I really need to sleep early, Perhaps at 1 AM :-)
I've upgraded bzflag and it's not working. as it complains about incompatible server version
