chips bought for my driver. he declined to join my meal. because it was really costly. a meal can be three times that of an indian meal. and i have already paid the traffic and gasoline money. 1 Like

May I ask what the initial purpose of the trip is. It's sounds like a long and and inconvenient one |
Re: 28 Days, 10000 Miles, Railway In India by igbesachick: 2:00pm On Feb 24, 2020 |
lillaowow: 1. is there any man who does not want to adventure? adventure in shipshape europe or in "inconvenient" india ? 2. india was one of the oldest civilizations in the world. 3. i dont have money and energy to do the REAL adventure, such as the antarctica, the new guinea, the amazon jungle. so, india is an easy choice. 4. isnt it said , 21st century is an indian century ? hype or not, just to go there and to have a look is the best way to find out. 5.i dont find anything particularly negative about india, except for its food, which i can not accept. it is a country, big, with large population, and diversity. so , it has to be interesting. 6. it is a leisure travel. eat, see, take photos, the usual stuff by every common traveler. it is not for any other purposes. 9 Likes 2 Shares |

One of the few (travel) threads without rancour. If it were a Nigerian or regular nler who had started this topic, they'd first start taking offence if random people posted, then their followers would jump on the thread and turn it to a war zone, hollering and throwing tantrums at the idea of anyone not in their clique daring to post, they and their role model would catch feelings at the audacity, they'd then start proclaiming their greatness and ability to conquer the world. Using the rudest language possible the whole time. All on top thread. 6 Likes 1 Share |
