Nuremberg Travelogue

Written on : 12-05-2006

1. Desi Food:
Cooking material:
1. Asian Food Shop in Gostenhof.(Here you get Calling Cards as well)
2. Zara Markt in Nordostbahnhof
Cooked material:
3. Indian Express Food on Hauptbahnhof U-Bahn Station.
Something like Roti:
4. LAWA Pannkuchen(it's something like a Roti), You may find it in some
Stores. I found it n Netto(Sudwest Park).

2. Calling Cards:
1. Can be bought on most of the International Airports. In India,
Hyderabad and Bangalore International airports have Airtel Calling
Cards, which are slightly expensive than the cards you can buy in
Asien Food Shop(Gostenhof) or ___ , but serve as a backup in case
you land in here on a Sunday or can't buy the cards for quite some
time.
(Note added on 12-08-06) -> Airtel calling cards have another
advantage. They can be used from more than 100 countries(I forgot
the exact number). So if you are planning to tour other european
countries, prefer Airtel, as the locally available cards will work only in one or
two cities(not even countries, as far as I know).
Also, Airtel cards are available on some of the foriegn exchange shops.
(This may sound like an ad for Airtel, but having a right calling card
solves a lot of your problems, once you are out there.)

4. Notes on Nuremberg:
A city with lots of greenery and parks.
People are well dressed and their hair
well taken care of. Low-rise jeans are
particularly popular among girls.
Coming from Bangalore, one thing that
comes as a surprise is, well, no ringing
mobiles. Either the mobile penetration
is low here or people are particular about
keeping their mobiles silent.
I have been here for a week now and the
weather has been pleasant. Length of
the day is quite long. Sun rises at around
5:30AM and sets at around 20:40.
