i slept in this small hotel tonight. a bunch of chinese buddhist nuns hoarded in the hall . they giggled . they were outcast in china. female, religious, from rural chinese province told by their reddish faces, naive or i should say imbecilic, dialect speaking, they must be the pariah in chinese caste system. that explains why they felt so relieved in another country.

the god of tibetans, a living person, dalai lama . he lives somewhere in india, but definitely not in this poor slum clogged by his supposed subjects. amyway, i was a bit ashamed of my curiosity-hunting purpose in this community. kind of gloating over their political insecurity.
|
big sutra rotater. such a lazy way to pray to god. it is said to rotate it one time equals to read their "bible" for one time. maybe this thing exists in a religion which holds a large population of illiterates.
|
the central square with a tent , served as a place for people to gather and chat in leisure time.
|
the 20 minute rickshaw ride was more thrilling than a roller coaster. reversely riding a rickety thing among furiously darting cars. i dare not put my hands on the armrails, i did not want them to be pared off by the cars which passed by by a hair's breadth. i made it to the colony
|
out of the metro, i tried to gain direction from a couple of tibetan . the husband who could not speak english pushed me to his wife who told me and the rickshaw driver where that place was . this never gonna happen among indian couples. each time i asked a indian female for direction, the male would chime in and voluntarily say something , no matter how worse his english was than the woman. obviously, tibetans are more open minded and developed.
|
skillfully turned to the metro. i did not need to look at the map this time. but the tibetan colony was far and with inconvenient tranport situation. i needed to take metro and then a rickshaw for twenty minutes
|
out of the station, i was immediately harrassed by touts . i looked obviously like a tourist. they wished me to stay in their hotels, but my aim was firm, tonight i would stay in a tibetan refugee's house. a "deluxe toilet" located before the station.
|
in afternoon, arrived in old delhi station. this one was as giant as new delhi station. both were connected with metro.
|
everytime when the train crossed the border of states , they would stay for at least 10 mimutes to wait for orders. but when coming into three biggest cities, mumbai, delhi and kolkata, the trains waited half an hour. i was waiting outside delhi. a farmer-turned-worker sitting opposite to me.
|
on my way back to delhi.
|
the big fan in amritsar station
|
day 17 from border amritsar back to new delhi
|
amikable97:i dont choose the food. i eat what they provide. that is their staple food. |
Holywizard:man, if you want to hear my sex tourism experience, i can start a new thread about my journey in philipines. that is the right place for sex. i will stick to my indian trip right now |
Holywizard:they will switch the AC off at 7am . and i have 10000miles to go |
Holywizard:is this what you travel for? i did not even think of sex , it was so hot in india. 40 to 45 degree everyday. |
end of day 16
|
nice food by the nepalese cook. this was rice.
|
nice food by the nepalese cook. this was cauliflower , yummy
|
yeah, this nepalese cook knew my taste. he was polite to the extent of docile. to a nepalese, india is what dubai to an indian. i have been to nepal twice. but i found their domestic food very untasty. maybe he had EVOLVED in india.
|
i left it on the table and went out for another real meal.
|
roast it, boil it in milk, then put curry on it. what the H?
|
night snack . roasted tofu rod. i thought it was meat yesterday, i salivated for one whole day. but it turned out to be tofu , and prepared in a very unappetizing way.
|
the driver found an old man down with his heavy bike, he ordered the youngsters in the tuk tuk to help him up.
|
i had to take another tuk tuk back. the driver who always smiled ear to ear.
|
street lights on, still trapped at the border, i could not find my tuk tuk
|
dusk covered the border, looking for my tuk tuk to go back. that side is pakistan
|
eagle flying free in the sky, crossing the man-made border.
|
indian patriotism in quintessence !
|
escorting back the national flag in the deafening roaring of the indian audience. about 30 thousand people on site, i guess.
|
the muslim fury ! pakistan counterpart with same vigor. said to stomp a pair of boots broken each week.
