Probably bad for you

But yeah open sewers and all that, sometimes smells pretty bad

e.g. here


There's a slight (read BIG) difference between visiting a (developing) nation as a tourist vs. actually living there - I've visited Kenya and trust me , the holiday was possibly the most luxurious I have ever been on - the amenities that we , as tourists, experienced were a far cry from all the poverty, civil unrest etc. that we hear about in the news and from Bono.

Look up places such as Andaman Islands , Lakshwadeep Islands , Kerala etc. Regarding Jaipur - along with the sewers, the city is also home to the most luxurious and expensive hotels in the world, but of course they never tell you about that.

in one of my favourite resorts in spain there's a lovely beach-side small-mall with some great fooderies and places to chill out. Unfortunately there's 3 'electrical' shops with rude indians selling 'sonay' and 'panosanic' type electronics & the rude fucks chase you around and literally physically try to pull you into their shops. So rude and irritating, I feel sorry for the bars there because they must lose so much potential business from these slimy fucks.

Yeah, I also noticed a slight difference in cost to visit things too depending on your citizenship status

That open sewer was actually in a district of Mumbai, I didn't see any in Jaipur per se. We stayed at hotels in a few places (Ranthambore, Agra, which were gorgeous), but most of the time were staying in peoples' houses. Home-cooked Indian food was SO AWESOME.

Actually my favourite thing was visiting Jaipur Foot. I've never seen an organisation that does so much good in the world. http://www.jaipurfoot.org/

And that contrast between the high class amenities and abject poverty is prevalent in heaps of places man. Try going to Pakistan. Most of it seemed fairly basic but amongst all that were these flash hotels (Pearl Continental).

Here, and also New Zealand, Indian young guys pretend they are black, drive ricy cars, and call everybody 'niggaz', etc. If you meet them in the club they're all 'nigga dis, nigga dat' and then about 5 minutes into the conversation they're telling you about some highly technical thing they're doing a Phd in.

There's a lot to like about India, food, clothes and provided you can keep an open mind about some of the people they're worth knowing... quite a lot of others just see you as a big bullseye though. During my younger years I thought about exploring my family linage over there, but the more I learned and a few visits put me off the place as being an awkwardly arse-backwards place that wants to develop. But even the amount of money coming in there can't stop them from choking each other to death at any given opportunity about who's god is best and someone looked at their sister sideways.
In business I've found them consummate liars and chauvinistic turds, which is fine as its nothing but a weakness I can exploit.

In Britain at least. Every British person I've known who's embarked on a "world tour" always makes India a top choice. Why I have no fucking clue. They could pass through Central Asia (the ex-Soviet union Stan countries) countries and experience far more interesting places without anywhere near the level of hassle, overcrowding, poverty, filth and cultural alienation. In every street corner in the UK there seems to be an "Indian Restaurant", and I've heard of celebrities embracing Hinduism, such as George Harrison and Russell Brand. Seriously, what the fuck are they thinking?

Hindu "art" and architecture is also garish and ugly. "Ganesha" is fucking repulsive. I'd rather worship a dead woodlouse than that mutated piece of shit.

Definitely not. I mean after years of studying architecture, I can tell you that it's among the least garish compared to like baroque period catholic churches. I mean in both cases it really depends on what period you're talking about. Hindu architecture is generally a gorgeous celebration of the infinity of the cosmos. The gaudiest hindu temple I know of is not in India, but rather in Singapore.

Sacri monti for example in Italy are like life size dioramas, kind of like renaissance madame tussauds. This is cheese that definitely hasnt aged well.




i don't know or love any indian people, obvi
