【旅行】北インド 古都周遊の旅 その14

I got sleep well in the plane then I reached HongKong.
but my condition was still bad..
However I had enough time to go outside from Airport,
so I tried to do that.

from air craft

At the beginning, I felt HongKong was totally heaven compared with India
especially Delhi.. because there is no dust and noise and cheaters.
some japanese said that HongKong was mad and too much dirty.
so I had prepared to accept it but there was absolutely clean and sophisticated place!

when I came to HongKong at first time, I had never felt that,
but that time I seriously felt so.
because All of experience in India was super stimulating for me.

HongKong air port (starbucks behind sign)

first i exchanged the money INR to HKD,
though I tried to economize and get discount in India
but INR I have still was not enough to buy a ticket to HongKong Island..
I was really sad.. and I could recognize the price rate was totally different form India.
but it costed 200 HKD it might be 2000 JPY or more.

All the thing I saw was modernize and sophisticated.
it means it is only positive.
but i felt it was so flat and mono and neutral.
it was not stimulating for me, very similar to JP.
after getting out the train, I was heading on Central area in HongKong Isle.

HK Isle

There was a lot of investment company and the head quoter of banks,
it was like wall street in NY, though i have never been to there.
there is nothing to feel and do and I wanted to have something,
I found a small restaurant but I didn't have enough cash then i asked to be able to use card,
but they rejected my proposal..

There are really seriously nothing to do for me..
I had walked around central and went back to airport soon.
in the train when i went back to airport,
there was a TV show on the monitor in the train.
it was the advantage of plastic surgery in South Korea,

nowadays the clinic in South Korea often use 3D printer to find out the problems.
as i saw on the monitor, some patients want to reduce the size of their face,
doctor propose them to make skeleton of their head to figure out the solution.
it was common that the plastic surgery was very famous in South Korea in the world.

if my children asked me to allow the plastic surgery, i would feel sad of course.
I don't know why it became very popular in South Korea,
I think South Korea has a Jukyo, It should respect elder person, and the thing that
elder one gave them also. it is our body and principal of life and I can add FACE after that.
I think it means the custom and habit is changing in there,
it can be replaced "westernized" or "modernized" like the county that is next to SK.

Then my departure time had come..
my long odyssey was likely to finish.
I was totally feeling missing to finish this blog also.

after 3 hours i boarded, I could see Tokyo bay.
....
...
..
.

now I'm confused how can i write my feelings at that time.
only one thing i can describe now is
"THANK YOU INDIA I'LL DEFINITELY COME BACK!!"

Meen Bharat men phir zarur aaungaa.

I was really grad that my wife was waiting for me in Haneda.
it is not necessary to write how happy i was.

All of experience in India became the one of my best memory.

I got quite diarrhea I had never got..
so I brought some bananas again and had it as slow as possible.
but my stomach is not available to digest them..

around noon, I tried to go to connaught place to but souvenir,
it was kind of gamble..
at first I looked for ATM because I didn't have enough cash.
but it was also kind of gamble.
I was not sure where ATM that is not out of cash is,
actually in Khajuraho I couldn't withdraw because there was out of cash in
Canaru bank ATM..

but that time I was grad that I could withdraw cash.
then I headed to connaught place.
there was beautiful modernized shopping area,
and a lot of brand shop, like NIKE Tag heure, Fabindia, and so on.

Delhi in Pahar ganj

Delhi in connaught place

first of all I went to DVD shop in Parika Bazzar, it was underground shopping mall
in connaught place. I wanted to get some Indian movie DVD.
so I got "chennai express" and "Yeh Jwani Hai Diwani".

Dipica is on these movie, that is why I wanted.
she is very beautiful indian actress, if you don't know her properly,
please let me know, then i lent these DVD for you.
and I went to Fabindia also.

after that, I went back to Pahar ganj, getting on Delhi Metro.
it was not Delhi, before getting on, it was necessary to be checked all belongings,
therefore there is rarely non-educated people.

then I got some souvenir in main bazzar,
actually it was my last day in India, so I took shower and little nap.

Finally the time had come!
I left the New Delhi station, and checked in Jet Air Ways,
went inside international departure gate..

I was feeling absolutely missing all people I saw in RoseMount.
besides I reminded many many memories..
like going to mossourie, having meal with hostel members,
going to school by Mr. Madhukar's car, holding the party and so many things and faces.

then the plane had took off,
that time was 2:30 am, I was patient for my stomachache and tires
while sleeping.

【旅行】北インド 古都周遊の旅 その12

Finally the day I go back to Delhi,
my train is going to depart at 7:30, so I went to bet the previous day.

BUBUTBUT
when I got to Agra Cant station, already it was late for 3 hours..
but there was nothing to do in station,
so I put up with waiting there

BUTBUTBUT
5 hours late, my train had not reached at the station.
it means it was held up for 5 hours and half an hour.

I prayed for god that train reach as soon as possible
because I had not recovered my diarrhea enough.
I hung around the station to kill the time and forget my illness,
then I met the taxi driver who took me to guest house the day before.
He was looking for tourist, he said
"this is my business, when you come to Agra again pls call here"
and he gave me his card.

Agra cant in morning

dog familly

sweeper in the railway

taxi driver

rat

heavy smog i couldn't see precisely 15m ahead.

then the train came out!
I rushed to inside and went to toilet!!!!
eventually I got to New Delhi station around 4pm.
thought i checked in guesthouse that is the nearest from station.
I was exhausted and not feeling well,
it was just very hard to go to restaurant.. because it has so bad polution around pahar ganj.
Even if I wear the mask in the room, I can find a lot of black rubbish
inside my nose.. because they use diesel instead of petrol..

Tokyo's real estate is very expensive,
but it is effective for less pollution.
if its price is not so expensive, most of tokyo citizen have a car,
it means to increase to pollution substances,
that's why now i feel tokyo's air, atmosphere is very clean.

new delhi railway station

from guesthouse

anyway I bought some bananas that's why I didn't have enough power.
I had those bananas as slow as I could.
the next day, I meant to go to connaught place to buy souvenirs.

【旅行】北インド 古都周遊の旅 その11

I took a rest well the day before,

but I couldn't recover well..

so I got heavy ill from the day before..

but I was in Agra, I had to go to see Taj as long as I'm in Agra,

then I took a breakfast, there was a person own the guest house.

he said if you want to go Taj, I will arrange rikshaw for you just 175 RS.

Though I wanted to take rest more in that morning,

I said "It depends on my condition, so I would tell you going or not around noon."
but it was near noon, but my condition was not getting better,
but though I was in Agra, I had better to go to at least Taj.
so I decided to go to there.

camel car (very slower than i walk)

Agra city was cleaner than other city I visited in this travel,
that's why Agra is famous tourist place, represented Taj and fort.
15 min later, I got to Taj entrance, there was a lot of people,
including Indian tourist, especially muslims.

Taj is known as the most beautiful grave. if you want to know about Taj more,
you can get information on wiki.

from Taj

Koran was written on gate

when i faced the Taj, I was impressed but it is not bigger than i expected.
because other city impression made me blindness..
Actually Taj was very majestic!

I left Taj soon because I was getting worse..
I got natural call(diarrhea) 4 times in Taj..
after getting back to guest house, owner told me if you want to buy some souvenir
I introduce my friend's shop..
I denied, I knew I can get Agra's souvenir in Delhi..

I have to get up early to get on the train tomorrow,
so I also went to bed early that day. 

【旅行】北インド 古都周遊の旅 その10

When I got up, I was not feeling well,
I thought just because I drunk a bottle of beer last night..
and I had slightly diareea..

but the train take me to Agra would depart around 8:00 at the station.
so I tried to go there.
when I checked out, someone talked to me.
"I'm waiting for you, let's go to station!!"
He was just rikshaw driver and commissioner.
I didn't want to give money him but there was out of choice,
so I got on his rikshaw.

then I remembered I didn't have enough money,
I told him to take me to ATM so that I want to withdraw.
at the first ATM, It has no cash at all, so I couldn't withdraw..
I gave up and told him to go to station directly, but he said
I know the ATM you can use.
and he went to another ATM thought I told I wanted to go station.

after getting to station, as expected he ordered some chip.
I gave him 10 RS then I had to be on train for 10 hours..
if you travel in India, you have to get on the train as long as you don't stay in only one city.
but it might be hard for me to get on the train for over 10 hours every day.
in the train, I had a fever and diareea was getting worse..

Khajuraho station, there were some people who washed themselves.

though I almost slept when I was getting on the train,
but when I got to Agra, I was almost died..
my energy was almost empty..
I thought I couldn't fight the drivers and negotiate about the price..
that time I remembered there was a prepaid taxi stand in front of Agra cant station.

my wish was disappear when I got out the train..
there ware so many drivers and talked(shouted)to me.
but I found myself getting on taxi and told the place I wanted to go.
I might get use to negotiate with drivers.

Although I got to guest house, the driver didn't go,
he said if you are in trouble I'll help you,
tomorrow I'll come here and take you to Taj mahal and fort and so on.
though I said I didn't need your help please let me take a rest,
that time I had a fever also, but he never listened to me.

after that, I slept as long as I can.
maybe I was totally exhausted..

【旅行】北インド 古都周遊の旅 その9

When I got up, train was almost in Khajuraho,

train crew said "after 5 minutes after 5 minutes".

after 15 min, I got to Khajuraho.

There was very rural area and clam, other than Rikshar drivers.

I knew the hotel area in Khajuraho, so I got on Rikshar driver who

spoke to me af first.

I could see sunrise from Riskshaw

as expected, in half way someone got on the rikshar,

I've got used to it then I talked with him about Khajuraho and

today was my birthday.

He was very funny man, sometimes joking and we went to his guest house.

thought I went out his guest house if I didn't like equipment,

hot shower worked very well and it had small garden to wash my clothes.

I decided to stay his guest house.

but rikshar driver was very irritated!!

he proposed to hire him to look around Khajuraho whole day.

he said you can get discount you can get discount!!

I didn't know regular price so I said

"I want to take a rest and maybe I won't hire you sorry."

I thought I became strong by myself.

after that I took hot shower and short nap.

Guest house in Khajuraho

The art in room

After getting up, I had lunch in the restaurant that appear in Chikyuno-arukikata,

I order butter chicken, as expected, it was not delicious..and expensive…..

I can cook better than it..

in tourist place there was not good restraint.

First of all I went to south temples and jain temples,

I didn't go to main temple at first.

because south and jain is slightly far from main road.

I rent a cycle(50Rs) and was heading to there.

but there was a lot of cheaters increasing children than i thought.

some people said Khajuraho is the third annoying place in North India.

it means the 3rd annoying place in whole india.

when I reached 1 of south part temple.

all of them spoke to me "WHICH COUNTRY!!"

if i answer "I'm japanese", they ask to but the rubbishy souvenir.

so I answer "why should I answer?"

but they didn't stop "WHITCH COUNTRY WHICH COUNTRY"

I totally ignored them and went inside temple,

they said "OI OI!!" I was almost angry with them..

southern temple

temple was very good, sooner and sooner I had got used to them.

the southern most temple was broken almost,

but it had sophisticated sculptures,

around south temple it was rural area, there were cows and goats and famers.

I like that sight, I thought some of them didn't know here is india and MP.

next I went of jain temple, jain has 2 type of jainist.

one of them don't wear the chetah, other is opposite.

so it had a lot of nude statues. but there were no erotic statue.

it was very sophisticated so that I was seeing for a long time.

I also bought Jain CD for souvenir.

Jain temple

after bringing back the cycle, finally I went to western temples I wanted to see.

around western temple entrance there was a lot of people, bad people also.

they talked to me "buy souvenir buy souvenir!! Which country".

not only adult people but children…security woman also…

I don't like those kind of children, anything but I can't like them.

I entered inside, I doubt my eyes,

There was at least about 8 temples. and I though..

2500 years before in India, ancient people was doing 69, sucking, taking biagra!!

I didn't know precisely history if you want to know, let's go to wikipedia.

3P, 4P, 5P!!!! sexing with animal.

THIS IS WORLD HERITAGE.

What did ancient people think and make those statues..

When I was seeing those, some indian talked to me in Japanese,

somehow I didn't doubt him bad person.

He was guiding someone about Khajuraho and professor.

Also He can guide in France.

He guide such kind of statues to me also.

That was very nice birthday.

I bought a bottle of beer for me that night.

【旅行】北インド 古都周遊の旅 その8

Today is also the moving day,

this time I'm going to Khajuraho, It is famous in Erotic statue,

and It is also world heritage.

I have nothing to do in Varanasi, so I hung around the cafe in Varanasi.

Finally I found a nice one!

It is place on slightly far from Ghat, near by Gotowria cross.

then I killed the time till my train departure time.

Vengal Tora road in Varanasi

Spicy Bites

dog family

cow piss

Sadhu and Muslim and Hindism

Phulwari Cafe

vege thali

so many people in Varanasi Junction Station

Time had come, so I moved to Varanasi Junction station.

I got Rikshar and negotiated the price. it costed 50 Rs.

As expected there was a heavy traffic jam.

after Getting to Varanasi station, I found my train notice on board.

but the train had never come…

There were some tourist so I asked them.

"where are you going? Khajuraho?"

"ah,, ah.. maybe yes I can't say that name of place"

I though it is very difficult for English native people to pronounce the name of

place in India. because they have only ABC alphabet, nothing to think 

sound else.

I was glad I'm Japanese and have another alphabet other than ABC.

English has some strange sounds for Japanese, for instance

"th", "f", "v".

but it doesn't matter if you want to communicate someone to speak English.

whenever you faced the situation that they could understand your English and

they didn't try to understand for you. you could ignore them.

these kind of people is super domestic domestic people,

not international people,

All person who can speak English is not international.

they said "though you are Japanese, you can speak English well"

thank you very much, I got small confidence again.

in AC3 tier
Today 15th Dec is my 31th birthday.
I stayed at side upper of AC3 tier in India. It became my unforgettable memory.

around 12, noisy Indians had slept and it turned down .

so I tried to sleep but I could not sleep soon, It was my first time since

I came to India,

maybe yesterday I slept 10 hours, so It caused..

Tomorrow I will get to finally Erotic village Khajuraho.

some of them are couple, I was wondering that they would sex

very hard tomorrow and try to do like Erotic statue in there.

I found myself sleeping after this imagination.
