Bodhgaya Day 45

Aquí a Bodhgaya es on Budha es va li.luminar sota un arbre (Arbre de Bodhi) i va crear el Budisme. Així doncs al voltant de l'arbre hi ha un temple amb molts peregrins i monjos que venen a resar. L'equivalent a Mecca per als Musulmans.

Here in Bodhgaya is where Budha was inspired under the tree (Bodhi Tree) and creates Buddhism. So around the tree there is a temple were many pilgrims and munis come to pray. The equivalent to Mecca for Muslims.








Arbre de Bodhi - Bodhi Tree













Japanese Temple with funny rules - Temple japonès amb normes gracioses


Chinese Temple - Temple Xino

Thai Temple - Temple Tailandès






Karma Temple (I slept in their guesthouse - he dormit la seu alberg)


One of the characteristics of Bodhgaya is that every nationality has a temple and you can see the different architectures of how each culture prays for Budha.

Una de les particularitat de Bodhgaya es que cada país te un temple i pots veure les diferents arquitectures de com cada cultura prega a Busha.

Just like anohther vehicle.



























Kolkata Day 44: End of luxury, back to reality waiting for the bus

Not much done today, just chilled in the luxury room for as long as I could and then walked around Kolkata til my train left. People don't just walk around anymore I have the feeling, they always ask "Where are you going?" and don't understand the fact that you can enjoy wandering around. I also discovered a way to freak out an Indian, here people normally blow there nose with the hand and just throw it on the street, so if you blow your nose inside a train or building, everybody freaks out and looks at you cause they think you just threw it in the floor, as if handkerchiefs didn't exist!!!

No massa a fer avui, relaxar-me a l'habitació de luxe tant de temps com he pogut i després caminar per Calcuta mentres feia temps fins que sortís el meu tren. Tinc la sensació que la gent ja no passeja, sempre et preguntes "On vas?" i no entenen el fet de que puguis disfrutar d'un simple passeig. També eh descobert una nova manera de espantar els indis, aquí la gent es moca amb la ma i ho tira al carrer, així que si et moques dins d'un tren o edifici, tothom s'alarma i et mora perquè es pensen que ho has tirat a terra, com si els mocadors no existissin!!

Kolkata Day 42-43: Oscar night

Un parell de dies a Calcuta. Ciutat maca i antiga capital de la colònia britànica, molt contrastada (molta riquesa i molta misèria alhora). Nit dels Oscars al mig gràcies al regal de Nadal de la meva germana (mantenint tradicions vives), en hotelazo del quinze, un petit break de motxilero.

A couple of days in Kokata. Nice city and old capital of the British colony, a lot of contrast (wealthiness and misery together). Oscar night in between thanks to my sisters Christmas present (keeping traditions alive), in a super hotel, a little break from backpacking.
