You would love this city…
I’ve been having courses of Nagara drums for two days, you were right, I love the drums :) I’m thinking of getting one set made by my teacher Narsi. Nasri is the son of Nathulal a figure here of Nagara drums.
I’m thinking of buying a Bullet too. The Royal Enfield one. Continue reading

A journey through the Amazon (4)
Iquitos (Peru) is the biggest city in the world that is landlocked; this means that it only can be reached by plane or boat through the Amazon..
These are few notes from my diary that I wrote on the way from Pucallpa to Iquitos. I was on Baylon II a 3 floor cargo ship.

[6.50am] God I hate these sirens…
I’ve just seen a special passenger. It’s the last chicken on the ship. I don’t think he’s gonna make it to Iquitos.
We’re towards the end of the trip. I’m on my nerves and easily irritated: kids crying, loud “peliculas” (movies)… I’m gonna be glad when I touch ground.
“Rio” (River) Ucayali is the biggest waste dump I’ve seen in my live. Everything goes there: a Plastic bag, bottles, cans, cigarettes, paper, food and the list is not exhaustive… no one seems to care. We’ve improvised a “basura” (trash bin) next to hamaca spot and we’re trying to educate the people. Continue reading

15/05/11 – Day 3
[4.39am] I’ve been woken up by the boat sirens. We have stopped somewhere and more than half of the floor is empty! Of course, a horde of women selling all sort of food are attacking the lancha. I have trouble remembering the name of all the stuff they sell. I never had a clue what I buy, but it was always tasty.

I hardly woke up for breakfast this morning but I need to keep some sort of routine going. It’s not hot chocolate today… (No clue what it is!)
Edgar is a strong bloke. He works in Lima for RTM (i.e. the French version of KTM). They receive everyday containers of pieces from China and his job is to organize them and assemble the motorbikes. He works 6 days a week, 12 hours a day (except Saturday ½ a day). That’s probably where he gets all his muscles from. He’s taking his mom to live with his sister. He will see them again next year.

13/05/11 – Day 1
[1.45am] We are still stuck in la “Lancha” (boat), the heat wave is back, and I need another shower but can’t be bothered… I think I’m gonna pass.
– There’s a queue for the showers
– The toilets and the showers “ne font qu’un” (are one)
– There’s nothing to hang your clothes/towel on
– And we shower with the water from the river, a bit cold and muddy… Continue reading
