After 6 months in India I got adopted to the culture and behavior of the people over there. This led already to some difficulties: I was used to small bikes with around 100 or 150ccm. Two days back I rode my bike I have here in Germany which has 650ccm. It was so powerful and very hard to control in the beginning. In addition it needs a lot of concentration to use the right side of the road.

Since it is summer in Germany the sun sets at around 9pm. In India the sun sets every day at almost the same time. So when it gets dark, it is around 6pm and at 7pm it is completely dark. Used to these timings, it makes it difficult to estimate the time in Germany and at around 8pm I am still thinking that it is only 5 in the afternoon. In winter it is much worse: The sun sets at around 4pm in Germany and when you go to work or when you come back from work, it is completely dark. Hopefully I will get used to that soon. The photo below was taken at 7pm in the evening. The quality is quite bad, it is an old phone.

Going to a food store is quite interesting: So many things which can be bought. Anyway, nothing can come close to the mangos, you can get in India. They are available, but very green and hard. It is like eating an apple
