India
Okay, after 4 tries I have managed to upload this photo of a Hindu temple in Kerala, Southern India. First, try to forgive me for my English for I don’t get to talk or write so much in English for I’m studying engineering (computer engineering for ladies who’d be interested).
Where were we, oh yes India. But the southern part of it. The reason I mention especially it is southern because northern and southern parts of this country is really different from each other. In the southern territories there is less population, less urbanization therfore less poverty. Of course less urbanization means more wild life which is cool and gives the tourist a lot to see. The road conditions are really poor and Indians brain surely works in a different way. The people who works in the traffic departement of Kerala think the way to avoid people from speeding is to put barriers in the middle of the road. Of course the number of deadly accidents caused by high speed driving (Of course I have to mention that the high speed means like 70kmph for an Indian car) surely had been decreased incredibely wheras there happens to be an interesting increase in deaths overall. I believe the Indian authorities still trying to figure out what went wrong about their genious plan.
Indian economy is the one of the largest economies in known worlds, and their national income has reached really huge amounts (they are the 4th, I think in the whole known worlds). But It is also the second greatest population on earth therfore there is really lot of poverty. But still there is something about India that attracted people for centuries. First, jews got lost trying to find “gardens of eden” mentioned in the Book of Genesis which is probably Indian territories. Then Europeans searched for this land of wealth, the land which hold everything that they did not have in dark ages of Europe. Geographical explorations meant wealth, food, good weather and above all being far from the pressure of the evil church.
Years later with the rise of hippie culture the most terrible era of India has begun. Thousands of bad-smelling, hairy hippies polluted the clear waters of Indian ocean. -One always wonders how the next generation after the cool beats turned out to be this way. Of course hippies had a point, they changed things with rock n roll but why? why did they have to smell that bad?-
The Hindu culture is really interesting to the westerners because it is really different from western culture in many ways. First, money and materials are really not important to these kind and happy dark skinned people. But who can blame them for not working when they could go to the nearest coconot tree and eat. They really seem not to understand what money means (lucky them?). For example when you stop on a buffet on the road and pay 1$ for a 25 cent pepsi, in return you get a pepsi and a fistful of gums in place of 75cents. Of course the gums are always useful. They prevent your mouth to smell like New York sewers when you can’t find something normal to eat for the whole road trip. Acually, the food are not that bad. It is really hard to tell what the tastes like while there is like 5kgs of spice in it.
After all, Southern India is really a place to see with its kind and happy people, interesting culture, beautiful wildlife and the stories of old times that it holds deep down in its jungles.
