Last weekend, I went for Bhopal and cities around them for 3 days.
I met 1 monk,1 parliament officer, 7 Indians from varies cities, a big family group (which travel in more than 70 people...), and a group of Indian university students.
The monk traveled Sanchi stupas with me, thanks to a random meeting at the train station. It is surprised that the 50 year old monk can speak good English , as before he was a doctor. I didn't ask much about his past, but I know that he likes Buddhism very much. He come to Sanchi only to worship the sources, and the first propagation of Buddhism in India.
I also met a Parliaments office at Bhopal, she helped us a lot to call a taxi. It is not easy to arrange a taxi at there, especially you are a tourist which supposed to be "rich". She needed to shout, persuade and argue with the taxi driver. Though we didn't get a bargain, we have a nice trip to an ancient cave thanks to her.
I come across an Indian family, with a lovely girl which can speak some English and love to speak with forigner. It is hard to find such naive yet friendly girls in India. More than 70% kids that I come across is the begger in the street asking for "Sir...kanar...kanar..", which means asking for food literally, but in fact means money...
I don't like to give money to begger, but this time I just give this girl money even she didn't beg for it. I believe this Hong Kong money ,the first foreign currency that she saw in her life,
can bring some impact to her global view, to be more interested to the world and realize how much India can be improved and can be utitlized.
I saw the biggest travel group that I seen in my life. During travelling back to Delhi by train,
the more-than-70 groups is in fact belongs to same families with relatives. They are quite friendly and create a happy atmosphere when i back. I also come across with a group of helpful students from Delhi University, a nice chat help me understand more about Indian education system.
Everybody can see the same tourist attraction, but with a different & unique experience.
Thank to these people who had helped me and make my trip special, enjoyable and unforgettable.
