subject: A True Lake Cuty Of India- Nainital [print this page] From Haridwar to Nainital (Nainital)From Haridwar to Nainital (Nainital). Another hill station, and the city again in the guide is characterized not only the public, but also the height above sea level - and here it is almost 2000 meters. By habit, went for a walk at night in sandals and T-shirt, and all the Indians around in down jackets and hats - realized how right they are and how wrong I am. But the day is quite as warm as in Rishikesh.
Each new city has to fit the standard Indian shablonchik. City - holycity, city - hillstation, city - uglycapital, city - backpackers den. There is quite a hill station, is almost the same as Shimla. True, there is a lake in the city center. According to legend, the lake - one of the green-eyed wife of Shiva, the second somewhere in Himachal Pradeshe. The lake is not green, and the mountain lakes are not very similar, but in the evening, when the city lowered the clouds, fun to ride on the lake by boat.
Rode on horseback. Well that is it only called riding, in fact Indian horse is on a leash, and you sit on it in the mode of shit on the gallop and can be no question. In Kyrgyzstan, still less steamed about the safety of tourists, pay the money and let you reset the horse though - Kyrgyzstan anyway.
I understand 60% of the menu - and it is an achievement. Paneer - cheese, Aloo - potatoes, Dahl (Daal) - something like beans, masala - spice. From this it is possible to make a lot of dishes, Kothari represent something like a huge dish of sauce that is either poured into the rice or scooped bread (Chapati). For example, Aloo Paneer - cheese with potatoes, Paneer Masala - cheese masala. Of non-vegetarian is Chicken and Mutton - lamb. Next, about the bread. Banal chapati - tortilla. Naan - a large tortilla. Pratha - burrito. For example, Paneer Pratha. Dosa - a large dish of tortillas and sauce with it. Thali - a set menu usually includes salad, bread, rice, gravy, and eggs.
Exactly a month ago moved from Moscow. India was not as such.
Look through the pictures that I post the log. Some interesting, but still not reflect the India in which we, the poor in India, India Howareyou as hawaii, India pomogalami, cheap charis, yoga and freaks.
Ashot, after the question Where are you from, given a hundred times a day irritated and sends dick in Russian, to me, this situation seems to be similar to the ugly situation with a beautiful girl who makes a guy a compliment, and she, after he left, said, "Shit, have become tired," so I patiently answered all shake hands and yell namastee.
I never thought that India is so hard to get alcohol. Today, for a walk along the promenade 3 people asked me very very charis, very very tasty, but the entire city, we have one stall selling alcohol in which a sane Kingfisher beer costs 80 rupees - a normal dinner at a local cafe. Brit rolling around in India for six months on a motorcycle advised to drink Old Monk Rum - all the old-timers do not drink it.
Vegetarianism is so common in India that if a restaurant is not vegetarian, they will say it Non Veg. There are Pure Veg - this is a vegetarian dish without eggs, and fish. By the way, with vegami vegetarians have nothing - milk and honey, for example, here are eating. The food is tasty and cheap.
Helped in India is not so much as spoken by all, and many of them are even useful - several times fit through them in good and cheap hotels. The point is that pomogaly kryshujut cheap and fairly good housing, taking himself, I think, not so much and most of the commission.
Striking simplicity and childlike people. Familiar Russian girls sitting in a restaurant with a laptop and viewed the pictures. The waiter came, took the order, and stayed to watch with them. In Leh was sitting in the room, to edit photos on the computer. Came the innkeeper, brought clothes, and neither saying a word and not at all embarrassed, sat on the corner of the bed and stared at the monitor. 5 minutes watched, smiled, then left.
