The same is the ancient civilization of the world, and now the high-rise buildings in China are all the same, and most of the cities are new and clean. But India's feelings are always full of dirty, bad, or negative messages. If you have been to India in recent years, however, you will have a view of the country.
Although many cities still seem to have a bad environment, it is undeniable that the disparity between the rich and the poor in India has improved narita kagoshima slightly today, and many cities have begun to modernize gradually, such as Delhi and Mumbai, or Calcutta, a favorite city, whose diverse customs are enough to fill you with yearning and surprise.
Calcutta, India, has a diverse ethnic group and culture, as well as Chinatown and Chinese Breakfast, which other Indian cities do not have. So how can we feel the charm of the city for the first time? You might as well follow your footsteps for a walk.
My reservation hotel in the old city of Calcutta, out of the hotel hiking through noisy blocks, crowded tracks, food and print traditional city life mixed with a little dilapidated buildings, within minutes to enter the local market.
The market does not have the traditional impression of orderly shelves, most vendors are peddling fruits and vegetables along the street, full of a long street, no electronic scale in my sight, on the contrary, still using the old-fashioned weight of the fair scale, it is clear that a picture of a life in India, a hundred scenes, they vividly show the life of the people at the bottom of India.
It seems that they are not frustrated by the bad environment and poverty, but can feel from their faces that they are enjoying this comfortable life.
Through the vegetable market to the residential nrt to kagoshima area, this kind of Indian city well will be more dense, the local people stand on the street, the hands hold the brick red tea cup, go to look and inquire, know this is the most famous and most consumed drink--milk tea. Five cents can buy a cup of tea, while drinking tea while drinking the boss and enjoying the warm sun of the winter day, this may be Calcutta's milk tea social circle.
This milk tea social society may be because of the food culture that used to be left over from the British colonial period, apparently after 140 years as the capital of British India, Calcutta retained more than just milk tea culture.
Through the residential area into the city of Calcutta BBD, the city's most reserved British buildings, a few steps to meet a fine old-fashioned British or European architecture, all the way to the old post office to the old station, from the Governor's House to the old office buildings, and so on, these old buildings are full of vicissitudes to show you once the prosperity of Calcutta.
From the BBD down the river, you will be surprised to find that this is the impression of India in your impression, and it looks like a waste train station next to the railway station with a variety of building materials. The overgrown area can see a lot of people crouching and standing, and the whole place exudes a pungent taste, which seems to be very hard, which may be the slums that had been seen in the film.
The distance from the train, and the children playing on the track, quickly left the train track, and instantly made me feel a bit of heartache, and it seemed to be worthless to live, But how many people will get rid of the fate of this generation? How many people will be millionaires in the film, even if India has long abolished the caste system.
With this feeling of pain, continuing along the dirt road by the train track reached a smelly place with a scent, which was my favorite place on my trip to India, the flower market on the Hugli River. Even near noon, the hustle and bustle of the scene, standing on the Haula Bridge overlooking the whole flower market, the crowd continued to flow, far away can still hear the meaning of the hawking, looks like a very good life in the market.?
Walking under the bridge and standing in the middle of the shop, the crowd made me a little afraid but not annoying, because even if they didn't understand English, they would also smile to show their welcome. There were all kinds of flowers on both sides, white, red and blue, and the brightest was the golden calendula, which was the most pious in the Indian faith to worship the gods, so many people could be seen holding them in piles.
Through the shantytowns of the flower market, to the banks of the Hugley River, as a tributary of the Ganges, it is still a river worshipped by the locals. They are also baptizing here, brushing their teeth and eating here. Compared with Valanasi, it is obviously less commercial, but a little more original ecological scenery.
To be sure, Calcutta did not have the world-famous online red spots like the Taj Mahal and Varanasi, as well as many of the city's old, new, clean, dirty, devout, poignant, comfortable, Hard and so on, all about India is here in front of you. But there's nothing to do with the love of Calcutta, the Indian city that needs to be remembered.
