Diwali 'n' Dharamshala Dear Deaders

O Diwali uz neco vite, tohle je nas Diwali outfit.
Diwali party - all dressed up. This is Nina, my Icelandic baby. We get along pretty well I should say.

Monks from the monastery in McLeod Ganj (Dharamshala) and their temple below. They actually sent us on shortcut through a forest and we got lost that is why I think they are a bit malicious.

This house has a big big heart and I suppose the owners too.

Details from the temple in the monastery.

Still life in Dharamcot village.

Colours of India

Ano, ti z Vas, kteri vidi v nazvu souvislosti s Ostravou, se nemyli. Neco malo z Dharamsaly (to je tam, kde bydli dalajlama). Myslim, ze nemusim psat moc komentaru, snad jen ze zasadni problem s barvami tady je: nejsou trvale. Naprosto vsechno tu pousti, takze se casem stane, ze zariva vymizi. Jak je ten svet pomijivy:)
Pani z Dharamsaly vyrabi vsechny ty tibetske vlajecky a mile se u toho usmiva.

Tady ten pan zase pase kozy v Dharamsale, pekne na ne mluvi a dokonce jim i zpiva. Moc barevny teda neni, ale libil se mi.

Sami vidite, ze tomu proste nelze odolat. Zejmena doufam, ze me podpori zeny. Kdyz vidite vsechny ty churiyany (bangles, naramky) a nausnice a jine sperky...
Ty valce jsou tibetske modlitby, musite je obejit a zatocit s kazdym zvlast.

Belly Dance

Ano, i me uz to postihlo, brisni tanec v plne parade. Nastesti to netrva dele nez den a pul, pokud uzijete antibiotika a cely den lezite v posteli. Tusim duvod: spinavy filtr, no uz jsem vse vycidila a vydesinfikovala, takze doufam, ze takovych zkusenosti uz tu mnoho nebude.

Delhi belly... now I know what it is. Luckily enough, it passed as quickly as it arrived. God bless Indian antibiotics, they are very powerful.

First Trip: Amritsar

Uz jste vsechno cetli v journalech, prvni vylet byl do Amritsaru, takze jen nekolik vzpominkovych fotek a komentaru pro me anglicky mluvici pratele:

Golden Temple in Amritsar, a religious place, the most important temple for Sikhs. Very peaceful, quiet and busy; and crowded at the same time. Yes, India is full of contrasts. Really worth visiting, this was my first trip out of Chandigarh and I really enjoyed. You could feel the spirit of the place breathing on you with every step. Sooo spiritual. And a good place to buy Punjabi shoes too (got three pairs after one-hour(!) bargaining - including chai (tea) and a good laugh with the shopkeepers) .


India is also full of colours, as you can see, and full of people (see the bus below). Most of them are very good looking, especially kids are very cute. However, they are somehow persuaded that white beauty is more attractive. (Nonsense!)And they tend to let you know it.
Women are extremely shy and feel puzzled and very honoured at the same time when you ask if you can take a picture.

Kids usually ask you "which country?" (by which they mean "where are you from?") and then they just laugh or ask you to take a picture of them. They would follow you all around the town being very proud of being seen with a white person. They are quite shy but also very curious. You can see them fighting inside themselves whether they should talk to you or not. Well the curiosity is often stronger than anything else. Especially with the prospect of a picture taken. They really love posing for photographs.

Money, money, money...

Our pay day is on 7th... What day is it today? "Sir, you're late with the salaries", I said. "Hmmm", said he. And left. Damn rupees.

Let's get cracking...

This is my first trial so hopefully there'll be more to read and see in the nearest future. I'll try my best to keep it up to date.

Dneska se poprve pokousim zalozit tenhle blog, tak doufam, ze to vsechno pujde dobre a brzy bude co cist a prohlizet.
