In addition, it is also a great way to save money, so we set up the tent twice. The second time near a river and we expect that we will not be alone for long. \n\n In Nepal, the people are considerate and not besiege us. So camping is fun and we enjoy the morning with a rising sun. After 4 coffees but it is then time to continue. In a village we stop to buy vegetables. We note that here mainly Indians live and my motorbike is surrounded by 123 people at once. The Indians also know no decency distance and are 10 cm next to you. Since it also comes times before when I see one in sandals next to me that I&#8217;m accidentally with my hiking boots on his toes. Oh, sorry J<br \/>  In the meantime, I put a line on the floor or draw a line that they cannot exceed. Even with a floral band I&#8217;ve blocked the way for them. This helps tremendously and you have some space to breathe.\n\n In the meantime, I think India is one of the least attractive countries for me. It&#8217;s not because of the country; it is mainly because of the people. Nothing is made finish. Example, the roofs are not tight, half the day no electricity, no water taps, ****** roads, etc. Most bothers me the dirt everywhere. Persistent, pointless honking on the streets, stuffy air and biting happens. To what extent the caste system is to blame, I could not figure out. A positive aspect is that they are fighting non-violently. Our Western culture may be too far away from the Indian and so it is difficult to understand each other.\n\n **********************\n\n Nepal ist we***** bev&#xF6;lkert als Indien uns es scheint mir m&#xF6;glich, dass man hier Campen kann. Zudem ist es auch eine gute M&#xF6;glichkeit Geld zu sparen, also stellen wir das Zelt gleich zweimal auf. Das zweite Mal in der N&#xE4;he eines Flusses und wir rechnen damit, dass wir nicht lange alleine sein werden. In Nepal sind die Leute r&#xFC;cksichtsvoller und belagern uns nicht. So macht das Zelten spass und wir geniessen den Morgen mit aufgehender Sonne. Nach 4 Kaffees ist es dann aber Zeit weiter zu fahren. In einem Dorf halten wir, um Gem&#xFC;se ein zu kaufen. Dabei merken wir, dass hier vorwiegend Inder leben und mein T&#xF6;ff wird von 123 Personen sofort umzingelt. Die Inder kennen auch keinen Anstands-Abstand und stehen 10 cm neben dir. Da kommt es auch mal vor wenn ich einen in Sandalen neben mir sehe, dass ich aus Versehen mit meinen Wanderschuhen auf seine Zehen stehe. Oh, sorry J\n\n In der Zwischenzeit lege ich eine Schnur auf den Boden oder zeichne eine Linie, die sie nicht &#xFC;berschreiten d&#xFC;rfen. Auch mit einem Blumenband habe ich den Weg schon abgesperrt. Dies hilft enorm und man hat etwas Platz um zu atmen. \n\n In der Zwischenzeit finde ich Indien eines der unattraktivsten L&#xE4;nder f&#xFC;r mich. Es ist nicht wegen des Landes, es ist vor allem wegen den Leuten. Nichts wird fertig gemacht. Beispiel die D&#xE4;cher sind nicht dicht, den halben Tag kein Strom, Wasserh&#xE4;hne ohne Wasser, hundslausige Strassen, u.v.m. Am meisten st&#xF6;rt mich, der Dreck &#xFC;berall. St&#xE4;ndiges, sinnloses Hupen auf den Strassen, stickige und beissende Luft kommt dazu. Inwiefern das Kastensystem schuld daran ist, konnte ich nicht herausfinden. Ein positiver Aspekt ist aber, dass sie gewaltlos k&#xE4;mpfen. Unsere westliche Kultur ist m&#xF6;glicherweise zu weit weg von der Indischen und so ist es schwierig einander zu verstehen.\n<br \/>\n<!-- ENTRY BODY ENDS -->\n<br \/>\n\n]]><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shocking Indians \/ Inder SchockKoshi River, Nepal Koshi River, Nepal 12.2.2014 Koshi River, Nepal Km: 49419 Shocking Indians \/ Inder Schock Nepal is less populated than India; it seems to me possible that you may camp here.
