The covered market in Mysore is beautiful (Windows Media movie, about half a Meg). Here are some more scenes from Mysore.
Month: October 2004
A lovely mail prepared in the train station (Windows Media Video, about half a Meg). This was a good eat, we had Masala Dosa (spicy pancake).
Mumbai (previously known as Bombay) is a busy bustling city. A lot of cars and there is also a crazy funky beach where lots of people with kids gather (Windows Media movies, about half a Meg each).
A beautiful little shrine on a hill in Goa (Windows Media movie, about half a Meg).
There are a bunch of tibetan settlements around Mysore (South India) – the Indian governement was nice to the refugees when the Chinese started fucking up Tibet. It’s hard to legally visit (you need a bunch of slow paperwork), and I didn’t want to get anyone in trouble by illegaly visiting (which supposedly is easy), so I didn’t go. I filmed some tibetans in the internet cafe (Windows Media Video, about a Meg) in Mysore.
Indian trains are a must (Windows Media movie, about half a Meg). Second class tends to get crazy, this is in first class (I think).
a portrait (Windows Media movie, about half a Meg).
Fishermen in Goa bringing in Sardines (Windows Media movie, about half a Meg). You can see the sardine schools swimming (they’re dark spots in the water), so the fishermen just get in the water with a net, find the sardines and then catch a load like this one.
I like cows (Windows Media movie, about half a Meg).
more getting around movies, on a bike and on the bus(Windows Media movies, about half a Meg each).
India is a country of many forts (Windows Media movie, about half a Meg).
Goa is a great place to hang out on the beach, this was an evening in one of the beach cafes (Windows Media movie, about half a Meg) in which we were wondering about the origin of chess (it does come from India), so one of the guys ran to the nearby internet cafe and googled it.
Half of the fun in India is getting around (Windows Media movie, about half a Meg). The movie shows a trip in a motorised riskshaw (3-weeler).
I’ve had to switch to the proprietary Windows Video format for reasons I’ll explain in detail in a future post about videoblogging on the road. For the record, the internet cafe I’m in currently is fast but doesn’t allow heavy uploads because they get charged for that.
Anyway, here’s the first of the Windows Movies: sometimes the selling gets to be a bit much (Windows Media movie, about half a Meg).
