Dance my life...

Last weekend, I went to Hampi for my first trip with 4 of my friends in India. Hampi is a ruined city of Vijayanagar (the City of Victory). It was the most powerful Hindu capital in the Deccan between 14 and 16 centuries. I spent nearly 12 hours by train from Hyderabad to the place. 12 hours! It seems to be a long time but in such a huge country, people consider 12 hours journey as a short trip. Ok, it’s actually not that bad if you take a sleeper class overnight.

Indian students on the train

On the way to Hampi, Eric and I were surrounded by a group of students from NCC, an army school in India. These students kept talking and asking us questions. Like Jose said,” You feel like a star here.” One boy gave me his cassette tape recorder to listen to Hindi music. I found that most of the Hindi pop songs are sung in chorus with drums. Those students bought us Chai (Indian tea) as a gift of “welcome to India”. At night, Eric and I lost our tickets on the train. These warm-hearted people help us ask the officer about the solution of duplicate tickets. Judging from my 2 weeks experience in India, I noticed that most Indians who can speak English are very friendly to foreigners. They are willing to give and help.

Here is another example of the kindness of Indians to foreigners. My travel partner, Iwana from Poland, did not buy sleeper class ticket. She slept in an empty bed with us. In the midnight, we were waked up by the people who own the ticket of the seat. Iwana said that she can move to other place but the officer insisted her to stay. He said,” No, no, you are the guest. You should stay here,” then he turned to other people asking them to change the place. I know it’s kind of unfair to those people to change the beds but it represents their generosity to outlanders.

My favorite site-Hanuman temple (picture above)

In Hampi, I got to see tens of destroyed Hindu temples built centuries ago. Honestly speaking, most of the temples look quite similar to me. However, there is a splendid white temple called “Hanuman temple” very attractive to me. “Hanuman” in Hindi means the monkey of God. The temple lies on the top of a rock mountain. We climbed around 700 steps to the sanctuary. Since it‘s called “the Temple of Monkey God”, there are lots of monkeys around it. They also monkey with visitors. One of them robbed me of my biscuits bags and another one jumped over my back. The good thing is that I didn’t get hurt and I already finished all the biscuits before the “monkey robbery”. From the peak, we got to see the gorgeous view and all the historic monuments nearby. When we walked in to the temple, there were several kids watching live cricket game. We met with a monk who is also from Hyderabad in the temple. He told us that he comes to the temple every year for 2-3 months to serve God. By the way, the monk is a cute guy with curly hair. For girls, this is definitely a temple worth going. Hehe…

Friends

The most interesting thing about travel is, besides sightseeing, that you can meet friends who might open another window of life for you. During these 2 days in Hampi, we met two guys from Tibet, a guy from Israel. To be continued…

The first question my sister asked about India is, “Is there war?” -_-… For a place where you have no idea at all, you tend to think it’s dangerous. I have to clear that people in this city live in a different lifestyle, but in a safe way.

It's been two weeks since I came to Hyderabad. This is really an exotic world for me. In my first week, I kept complaining to Even that every shop looks the same for me. “Where are the restaurants? Where do they sale clothes?” I asked. “It’s everywhere. It’s just you didn’t notice,” said Even. I didn’t go blind in India. I found the reason is that this place is too messy for me so my eyes just concentrate on the road. I didn’t have spare mind to care about the shops. For Hong Kong people, imagine you pass by Chung King Mansion (Kowloon) where many Indians flush to you, handing you the menus, can you at the same time see the shops nearby? You just want to find your way out.

So far everything is better than I expected except for traffic. I just left Hong Kong where the mass transportation is one of the best around the world. Now I am in a city that there are many places where even the local people don’t know how to go.

In the first week, I took auto wherever I go. (*Indian Dictionary—auto: a three wheels yellow car with the function of taxi, but it’s not taxi.) It’s very expensive to take auto so now I try to take bus to work. I give good credit to Indian men on the bus because they usually have female the seats and they would rather jam in the back or hang on the door than stay in the empty front. They leave the front for female passengers. The way that Indian guys get on a bus is like performing Chinese Kon Fu. They jump on and jump down the bus even it’s still running. That’s one of the amazing skills Indians have.

It’s unbelievable that you can hardly find a traffic light for pedestrians. There is no foot bridge as well. Want to cross the road? Fight with the running car! I still feel frustrated when crossing the road. If there is cram school to teach people how to cross the road. I’m there!

For people who are curious about are there cattles walking on the street. The answer is: Yes, but very few in my city where many Muslims live.

Ok, that’s the traffic in HYD.
