Right got some time to kill before jumping on the train to Agra later this avo so i thought i'd share some of the things that are bothering me about india -
LOUISA'S CULTURAL CONFUSION SECTION
The Ganges - if it's so holy and sacred, why disrespect it with rubbish, animals and body waste/fluids? AND then why do they drink and swim in it??
Spitting - it's revolting! especially the hocking noise that sounds like they're going to throw up. A couple of times the sound of it has woken me up in the morning (thanks to paper thin walls) where i thought people were retching. Ewww.
Treatment of Animals - they don't eat meat along the ganges because it's sacred - but someone needs to call in the RSPCA or something because they're horrible to their animals - especially the poor caged chickens.
Poo - everywhere inthe streets. Both human and animal. And all the rubbish. Why do they think sweeping it under a car will make it go away? there are NO rubbish bins anywhere ....
Homeless People. I understand that loads of people are poor and homeless, and because of thier religion (karma) there's little help for them. But why sleep in the middle of the day on the roundabouts, street pathways, steps, train lines etc and wrap up in a blanket? Are you asleep or a dead body??.....
