I am in India for 3 weeks now. So far everything is fine.
But: India is annoying!
But: India is annoying!
India was my first destination on the world tour. The 5 months before that were the journey there. So I had high expectations about India. That is never good.
In India cows are the only garbage collectors
India doesn’t make it easy to be liked. There are just too many things broken in this country. e.g.:
- traffic
- poverty
- garbage disposal
- trickery
- attention suckers
- food
The last three points annoy me the most:
With lodging, bus tickets, entrance fees, train tickets, even with tea, fruit and change money, they will too often take you for a fool.
There’s always someone who wants to stare, talk, touch me. Most people are well-meaning but annoy the hell out of me.
Who suffers more, the child or me?
If the food is good, most other things don’t matter. But the Indian food is no good. Hindus are proud of their “Pure Veg” kitchen:
- no meat
- no fish
- no onion
- no garlic
- little chilli
- little vegetables
I think a life without meat and fish is unhealthy and I don’t care to live without garlic and chilli. In other words, I miss the Chinese and Thai cuisines.
I also miss the easiness of Thailand and China…
Kalkutta, Westbengalen, Indien 
Na dann schnell weg aus Indien, damit es dir schnell wieder besser geht und du nicht mehr genervt bist ;-)
Hm, versteh ich nicht. Versteh ich nicht!
Wenn ich hier zum Inder geh, dann gibts voll des krass geil fritierte Gemüse mit geiler Tunke und geiler Suppe. Hamm uns die all die Jahre bloß verarscht? Sind die womöglich aus dem Indien rausgemobbt worden, weil die das ned haben kochen dürfen dort?!
Jetz sin wir jedenfalls endlich wieder Brüder im Geiste! Weil ich hab Indien noch nie leiden können (und ich weiß, wovon ich red ;-)): die blöden Musikfilme, dieses blöde Bunte überall, und laut und staubig, des mag ich ned. Und ich kann mich erinnern, dass ich gemeint hab, die Russen sind bestimmt voll nett. Und? Warnse. Gell? Naja, nett sind die Inder bestimmt auch. Ich frag mich bloß, warum du ned die Mutter im Arm hältst (aber zum Glück hab ich noch den Aspie-Artikel gelesen)… Doch lieber Kinder statt Inder?
Wenn man bei uns zum Chinesen geht, kriegt man ja auch eher Suess Sauer Kram, statt chinesischem Essen )-:
Die Inder sind nett …
… und kennen keine Privatsphaere.
Eine nervtoetende Kombination!
[...] Indien nervt [...]
Well, it’s soooo very sad that this is what you think about India and you even make it public.
Okay, I’ve only been there recently, for the first time and for 3 weeks only, but being back in meatlovers heaven I can’t stop dreaming about how easy it was to get the best food I’ve ever had (not counting the time it took to find a reasonably clean place), and this is only one thing. Garbage? What would cows and dogs do without it? and a lot of people, as well.
But anyway, the main thing is that annoying was the last word the occured to me when in India or just thinking about it. You picked the wrong place.
@goldblum:
Of course, that’s exactly my point: India is the very wrong place for people like me!
Why should I keep quiet about that? You didn’t keep quiet about your opinion and that’s perfectly alright!
“What would cows and dogs do without [garbage]?”
Now you sound like the bad guy in “the 5th Element”.
“You see, Father, by creating a little destruction, I’m actually encouraging life.”
Let me tell you one thing:
The earthquake in Japan was such a great thing. The Japanese are so lucky. Sure, thousands of people died. But now there will be economic growth for the years to come, because of all the reconstruction!
Come on…
Denial is not a river in egypt!
