While in Delhi, people like to visit Connaught place, right? Deadly place for foreign tourists. Every 2 minute some guy runs in front of you to start ‘random’ conversation. He says he is doing nothing, just wasting his time. After short conversation, he suggest you to come to some good shop. He will just show path and go away. Do you think we are idiots, hah? You will get your percent from our spendings in the place.
Spent 10 days in Delhi. Connaught place was annoying me more and more. Last day i came to central park to sit on the grass and have sunbath, like other Indians seeking for privacy. Minute after some guy ran in front of me, shouting loudly to visit his friend travel agency. I was not in mood and told him to leave me alone. He got angry and started yelling at me “You are in my India! I do whatever I want”. I just went away, completely lost hope to find silent corner in Delhi.
P.S. I also met kind and wonderful Indian people in India. In Mumbai, Varanasi, Rajkot, few in New Delhi. I want to come back for Gujarat Sassan Gir, one day for sure.

在德里的时候,人们喜欢去康诺特广场,对吧?可这里对外国游客来说是个犹如梦魇的地方。每隔两分钟就会有个人跑到你面前攀谈。他说他没事干,只是消磨时间而已。短暂的交谈过后,他就会建议你去一些不错的商店逛逛。他带你到那儿后就会离开。但你以为我们是白痴吗?你肯定会从我们在那儿的消费中分得一杯羹。
我在德里呆了10天。我越来越讨厌康诺特广场了。最后一天,我来到中央公园坐在草地上晒太阳,就像其他喜欢私密空间的印度人一样。几分钟后,有个人跑到我面前,大声说着让我去他朋友的旅行社。我心情不好,告诉他让我一个人静静呆一会儿。他生气了,对我大喊:“你这可是在我的印度!我想做什么就做什么。”我只好离开那里,完全失去了在德里找个安静角落的希望。

I am not generalizing, but some things really push foreigner tourists away from visiting India, despite huge government effort to make your country more tourist friendly.
Just imagine, if foreign tourist see this stuff in your capital, what will he expect from other Indian places?

我并非以一概全,但有些事确实会让外国游客对印度避之不及,尽管印度政府付出了巨大努力,希望把这个国家改变得对游客更加友好。
想象一下,如果外国游客在你们的首都看到这些东西,他还能对印度其他地方抱有什么期望呢?

They think we're dirty and unhygienic people!
他们认为我们是又肮脏又不卫生的人!
I'm currently a medical student in philippines. People here think INDIANS as a very dirty people and roaming with lots of diseases with them.
So on my second day in philippines i was going to my hostel room. Since i live on 9th floor so i had to use elevator.
As soon as i stood near the elevator to wait for it. Other Filipino looked at me and stepped back from me. I didn't understand as i was new in this country.
我现在是在菲律宾上学的一名医学生。这里的人们认为印度人是非常肮脏的民族,身上带有许多疾病。
所以在抵达菲律宾的第二天,我要去我的酒店房间,因为我住在9楼,我不得不搭乘电梯。
我一站到电梯旁等电梯,其他菲律宾人都看着我,后退了一步。我不明白,因为当时我才刚来这个国家。
One day me and my friends had to go for money exchange by bus. We went inside and found three seater place where window seat and the seat beside it was empty and the other seat was occupied by a Filipino we two friends sat there.
有一天,我和我的朋友们要乘公共汽车去兑钱。我们走进车厢,发现有三个座位,靠窗和旁边的座位是空的,另一个座位上坐着个菲律宾人,我两个朋友就坐下了。
The moment we sat there, that guy immediately went ahead and was standing there as no seat was available and he was pointing at us and talking to one other passenger something in their language. That time also we coudn't understand what is going on
We reached our destination and we were about to aboard the bus then i saw while moving ahead 2– 3 people covered their nose either by handkerchief or by their T shirt and as soon as we came out i saw them from the transparent window of the bus ,they removed their handkerchief from nose and was laughing at us
我们坐下的那一刻,那个菲律宾人立即向前走,站在那里,那里并没有座位,他指着我们,用当地语言和另一个乘客说着什么。那时候我们也不明白发生了什么。
我们到达了目的地,正要下车,这时我看到前方2-3个人用手帕或T恤遮住鼻子,我们一下车,我就从透明的车窗里看到他们把手帕从鼻子上取下来,嘲笑我们。
This time we understood a little that they don't like us being around them or something
We asked our seniors then we got to know that they think we are dirty and have poor hygiene
Now this irritated me a lot!
Time for me to take revenge now whenever i come around Filipino closely i first cover my nose and get aside from them
I have two motives now
1.To complete my MBBS here
2.To change the INDIAN image in their mindset
Jai Hind!
这次,我们有点明白了,他们不喜欢我们出现在他们身边
我们问过我们的长辈,然后我们才知道他们认为我们很脏,卫生很差。
这让我很生气!
现在轮到我报复了,每次靠近菲律宾人,我就先捂住鼻子,避开他们。
我现在有两个念头
1.在这里完成我的临床医学学士学位
2.改变印度人的心态
印度必胜!
