Preparation for my Euro-Trip
10/10/07
So Prof. Sharma said no and Prof. Jacob seems quite cool. So, I will be all set for a year of studies in Boring Rochester. So, I have decided to reward myself with a Trip to Europe.
Let me revisit the significant developments of the previous day.
10/6/07 Saturday
Called up Shlagha and Rajshekhar. This really kick started the process. Shlagha sounded very enthusiastic. Rajsekhar will land in Germany(Aachen) on 19th Jan,08 (Saturday) and he can spend at most a weekend and a day, which he claims is enough for a trip tp Belgium and Netherlands !
He said there is cheap internal flight available inside Germany. (euro 20 for Berlin) and also, carpooling. He has asked me to mail him my itinerary.
10/09/07 Tuesday
Met Rajendraprasad Hosamani. The person to whom I say hegidira everyday turned out to be very resourceful. He took a guided trip. $2500 (tickets excluded).
Said: 1) Although there is a common Euro visa, you must get tamped from Every country you want to visit. Italy is a pain in the Ass. wants too many details.
2) Take Europass. Flight seem cheap, but taxi/shuttle from airport to city is expensive.
10/09/07 Wednesday
Searched for Europass. Just $430 if age is 25 (am I ? ). At 5 p.m. had voice chat (me speaking ) with Shlagha. Outcome was-->Since Rajshekhar has no time,
1) I will reach Finland on 18th (Friday ) and head for Arctic circle. (will try not to take the guide on the snow bike ). Saturday and Sunday, we go to Norway.
10/23/07
Developments of today:
1. Got a prompt response from German embassy, caused more confusion. Sending another mail now.
2.Rajendraprasad told me that a printout of bank statement is enough, but I would need a new $30 insurance.
3.Rajsekhar agreed to send the invitation letter. I am asking for a letter of support also.
From Indrani, no response till now.
4. Orhan replied. Have to call him tomorrow. Very crucial. Have to ask him about visa, immigration, insurance, railway and hostels.
5. Sandy replied. will send him my exact dates of travel to Swiss land. (let me see the visa rates and the complications )
6. Called travel agents in Boston. Student travel can reserve one for 554 (Frankfurt return )
But, we have to see if I need Canadian transit visa (its air canada, through Montreal )
Other developments: Two calls to Bhupi, two chats with Shlagha, Some reply from WAYN.
Future work:
Make WAYN profile, and post. Make facebook profile.
