India, what a difficult country to travel, India, what a pain in the ass it can be, India, everybody is cheating and have no moral for right and false. India, the place where people are really incredible ruud.
Those quotes are very often to hear from backpackers who are in India or just came from India. I got really influenced by those opinions and I had a hard time not listen to much to those things instead make my own experience. So far, I really try to find these people in India, but everybody is nice and fair and I am coming slowly to the point that not the indians are the people who act strange, the backpackers are. They have sometimes expectations of other countries that I would like to know what they think when they come over in this country.
India isn’t that crazy as people say and I think people really like to exhaturate. Especially when traveling alone, people talk more and want to be heard. When I stayed in Karimabad, the very nice place in northern Pakistan, people told me about Rawapindi and its shit hole qualities. I went to Rawapindi and I thought its a really great place to explore.
India has been great so far and I think when show people you treat them with respect and show them in the same time that they can’t cheat on you, you gonna be fine. Its not only the way they deal with you, it is as important how you react as well.
people jut want to see the positive things of a country and as soon as they get confronted with more difficult issues they can’t deal, they blame the country and its people instead of think about their own attitude. I am very surprised how many tourists you find here who just came for a couple of weeks from their country, traveling in groups or even booked all inclusive.
I remember when I left Germany that India should be a thing you shouldn’t start with, because the difference will be enormous. But I never thought of the idea that those people might be wrong and India isn’t that crazy as everybody says. Maybe I am a little crazy too and therefore can deal better with crazy countries. Whatever it is, India is a great country, it is a great country yes, as every country in this world. And if you show the people that you are not afraid of them and respect them, you will be always on the safe side. Exceptions exist.
Its going to be my last country I travel to after 17 month and I am trying to get the most out of it, even though its only 3 weeks.
India, BUCKLE UP. I am going to annoy YOU. hahahaha
