Travels
Delhi, India
Mar 23, 2012

The day began relatively quietly. The new hotel, everything went without surprises. We paid a predetermined amount, which hoteliers, surprisingly, does not have added anything extra, like a turbid tax for tourists. Additionally, only had to pay for the Internet. Because he, unlike the previous hotel , it worked well, a little way beyond the planned budget we felt completely justified. In Delhi we are faced with a wonderful tradition that, unfortunately, less and less common in our cities — the local natives dried his clothes on the street. Thus all their wealth necessarily contemplate other indigenous people and tourists. Often walking the city, we had a low stoop to pass under someone's clothing or laundry, hanging through the pavement, but what can you do — tradition.

1

Some passers Indians are humane and wet clothes hung on trees and bushes.

2

Apartments rise equip citizens with the latest technology, allowing to dry clothes without leaving home.

3

Note the barbed wire. So uncomplicated way the Indians are trying to defend their use of neblahomyslyachyh citizens. At some houses we even met armed guards who patrolled the area. In yet happened barbed wire broken glass, cemented the top of the fences. Drying clothes on the street will be of importance to carefully watch led by wind, or pants, carefully pochepleni you on the rope, have a chance to continue drying somewhere on a barbed wire fence neighbor.

4

It is hard to imagine how in such circumstances are poor Indians, but even harder to imagine how in large cities survive many animals that are in constant search of at least some food.

5

Kizonku, of course, unfortunately, but korivtsi even less fortunate. Its habitat to find food limited radius short rope, which in this case is tied to a sewer manhole.

6

Typically, animals are still tied to trees, poles electrician at, for concrete reinforcement. Given the constant heat, it is easy to guess what will happen with your four-legged survivor if accidentally forget about it. Some animals have learned to change Color and successfully masked in Delhi stone jungle.

But such a view has abandoned Indian control:

Road infrastructure Delhi represented one-way streets, bilateral and often of Brownian motion:

You can also see many vuzesenkyh streets, which can pass or only very experienced or drunk driver.

17

The road as a road, excellent asphalt:

18

In the metro , public transport is also represented Delhi city buses, which for a small fee will take you to almost any point of the capital's ass. If you do not have contactless technology penetration into the bus through the window, you have a little knock from complacent, but strong Indians. Incidentally, in the first case, you get significantly less bruising.

19

Public charging needs in India is not considered something indecent, but the city authorities have decided to limit this kind of little people unity with nature free public toilets, which are often located near bus stops. Since, the Indians used to do it openly, without shame and toilets built it appropriate.

22

By the way, we noticed that there are booths usual for residents of the former Soviet Union the letters "M" and "F". It seems that the street toilets in India can use only the men, but the fair sex are forced to endure the house.

23

Out on one of the bus stops, we gradually zahlyblyuyemos in the poorest areas of the city. At every step changing landscape and architecture. These two Indian girls afraid camera first, but after some time still let themselves be photographed, but later asked for it SIM-ku call.

24

Later we met another group of children. They were stricter with toys they had only matches:

25

Seeing that we photograph them, older awakened and began to shout "MANI! MANI! MANI! ". Realizing that English is "Money! Money! Money, "and that her calls now coincide a crowd of other small predators, we decided to run out quickly. The pursuit lasted us for about a kilometer.

26

Broke away from young beggars, we went to the river through which the bridge on the left of it is the composition of pedicabs. While this may be a paid parking with round the clock protection:

27

The river is very rich, particularly for local residents, it also takes the role toilets, tubs and trash:

28

… As well as cemetery for pets:

29

Among the river is a desert island, but omnipresent garbage and dobralosya here:

30

The way the bridge was not easy, had to be closed from dust, raised passing cars, fend off the local poor and occasionally jump through-holes in the asphalt.

31

On the other side of the river we first saw life in Indian urban wilds.

Life here is also going slowly and measured their flow. Adults relax, senior children play cricket:

Younger rampant torture and buffaloes:

While children with curiosity looked white man:

Two buffaloes find out the relationship and lay down to rest three or died:

This local general store, which provides all the plain of essential products:

39

In our report this to an end. Photographic material may not be much, but for interesting shots would have to risk not only camera Canon, but also their own safety. However, after 2 months spent in Asia, we realized that Indian tour netryschamy was not more dangerous than the walk to any of our residential areas. But this — another time… In the next publication we show a more upscale part of the city of Delhi — European island in the ocean Indian flavor.
