what the hell? the toilet on indian flight . they dont know how to use toilet paper. they use hands .

sri lanka, my stopever for 18 hours, it looked nice from paper.

got a visa on arrival at colombo and checked out sri lanka.

i adventurously went to adam peak which was 6 hours drive . i also intended to climb it in dark. but it was raning like hell and we, me and the driver were exhausted, i had to undergo another 6 hours on the meandering "expressway".

from airport to adam peak , about 50km , from map, it had more than 10000 turnings. every 10 meters a stomach-churning turning. crazy ! out of 18 hours layover, i spent 12 hours in the car. tired to extreme , overnight.

my most impressive birthday , 1st , june.

dark, raining, possible tigers, exhaustion, cold, not enough time....

snap a photo at the foot of the mountain.and leave.

my driver covered in my sleeping bag.

the world heritage site and one of the most famous religion mountains worldwide. adam peak. muslim, christians and buddhists, and atheists like me all come to here.

my dinner. expensive. price double that of india. chicken with very spicy chilli.

the kitchen of the eatery. i used local money with a very low exchange rate from the airport. but i paid the driver with dollars. 100dollars to and back.

local money , very small denomination.

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.

backed to airport. two north korean oversea laborers with KIM's badge on their chests , sitting in front of me. they enquired an indian of the flight to china. funny.

BACK HOME

end of the whole journey .

I really enjoyed this..... nice one op

Nice write up @ op

Thank you for this beautiful thread!

Thank you thank you

YOU ARE WELCOME HOME

Wellcome back. When next are you going on a trip, mind if I join you?

May I ask what the initial purpose of the trip is. It's sounds like a long and and inconvenient one

May I ask what the initial purpose of the trip is. It's sounds like a long and and inconvenient one

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.

Now, I can comment that I came I saw and I conquered the thread by reading it back to back.

Weldone OP, nice thread, please mention me in your other journeys.

God bless you

Well detailed

I traveled through your eyes OP
Thanks for sharing

Op this is one of the most fascinating thread l have read on Nairaland in recent times, the way you portrayed your adventure was so impeccable Wow!!!

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.

Wow, Indian through my eyes, thanks OP, what a nice thread.

best thread this year
