my dinner!

no other choices . the only eatery house near the station. it was tucked away in the street in front of the station. i used my own utensil to take this food to my room to enjoy it.

my sleeping bag unrolled as a mattress.

500 rupee , 2500 naira, for a fan room. half of the air conditioned one.

but in future days, i sticked to the A/C room after this first night's lesson.

outside the window were lots of rubbish.

butter milk, with a strong curry smell.

i regreted to buy one, but very cheap, 25 rupee, 120 naira.

very nauseating taste, unless you are an indian.

it had many other bag dressings, which tricked me to buy it again and again.

impressive first indian meal, something with curry, but actually it tasted OK !

80 rupee , 400 naira.

indian desserts. pretty sweet. i had a full tummy already, so i did not buy them this time.

there was no wifi in the guesthouse, but the owner allowed me to use his megabytes . so, i had to linger in the first floor hall for a while, the hall was very bleak.

end of the first day.

igbesachick:


some welcomed me, even beckoned me to come inside to have a look, some refused me by saying there is no room available.

in southwest india, where racism was most rampant, i chanced to be told ALL rooms already taken by others. 20 hotels/gusthouses in 2 cities refused me. very impressive !

in kochi, i had to reveal my passport and ask the railway policemen to help me to solve the problem. they phoned a hostel and finally put me in.

next day, full of anger, i deliberately went back to EACH hotel which had rejected me , and asked again. surprisingly , they rejected me again, and said all rooms taken. how can that be possible ? at 7am all rooms taken?

i told one owner of the hotels, i said he was lying. he was furious and hard to resist to beat me.


but, some other indians were nice. it is a big country, anything could happen. be open minded.

Indians should repent from this selfish acts.

What do you mean by third gender person

Did you try any of those colourful sweets they always talk about in Indian movies

yes, but not this day.

train doors were not locked, you may extend your body out , a little dangerous

to dry my clothes in a quick way.

toilet, i did not show the faucet down close to the floor , which was to wash the fingers of the LEFT hand.

vendor on the train, concocting some sort of snack, looked a bit disgusting.

sticky , mucous stuff, maybe rice and peanuts, churned in a plastic cup, and doused with lemon juice, ornated by cucumber slices.

bananas, 5 rupee, 25naira, for one piece, they charged for piece , not for bundle or kilo.

indian uncle tasting a strange fruit, he bid the time to rush me off the bunk, it was too crowded, everyone wished more room.

eventually arrive in the destination town, its name was too hard to pronounce. vasakhapatanum !

rewarded myself by a substatial indian vegetable meal. 50 rupee, only 250naira.

it was one of the very few meals i found delicious in india. pretty good !

deep fried crabs and kidneys, chicken wings....

i bought some for nighttime snack.

the vendor could not speak english, i tried to repeat loudly, maybe too loud, a nearby man accused me asking me "are you from america? you think you rich so you can do anything in india?"

also bought a scissors for trimming my nostril hair. it was for phone cards, but the shop owner gesticulated about his nose for me ! how smart indians are !

coins, heavy and useless. denomination was too small.

evening came down on the city, end of the second day journey.

It's *Vishakhapattinam*. You can call it "Vizag" also.
