As with any visit to India, beginning is by public transport, which usually intertwined in density, heat, and uncertainty about the way I get to the destination. Of course there is also uncertainty about whether I will keep the integrity of the mental and physical to reach. In this India provides the goods. Once again I was not disappointed and all of these were, the way Mdramslh chumby Valley, was chaotic as travel so far. After a few improvisations and changes in intermediate stations, countless Indians who relied on me and using traditional sunglasses shield the dust from passing towns, I came to town chumby evening.
The plan was to reach a nearby hurricane harbor organic farm, working there for a few days and maybe help some Indian farmers. I walk around town chumby, my eyes I see people that tourists do not come to often. These interlocking shock gaze admiringly, I tell myself. Unusual destination choice paid off. Not a tourist in sight, toilet paper or Western hurricane harbor services - thank God and flowers to Krishna, I India.
I found a room for the night, only to realize the next morning I got the wrong chumby. It turns out that there is another chumby, smaller, only about thirty hurricane harbor hours away from where I am. I wanted to farm it so far, it turns out conversation with the farm manager apologized again and again.
I return to the park in the heart of town, plan your steps, after it became clear that I went for a whole day wrong destination. A few minutes later evolving conversation with Habib Indian, Bali - Raj name. After initial skepticism Requested A lively conversation and I understand who to trust. We visited some of his friends who live chumby, and began his Marathon of endless consumption masala chai, submitted grandly to reach every home. I finally entered Indian homes begins to be exposed to a world that was hidden before. After a few hours it offers me to visit his home, if I want to, I'm invited to stay.
So began an adventure of almost a week, including almost all the questions were answered more authentic experience, compared with Haifa Cafe Sabih. Bali's reasonable English - Raj is the result hurricane harbor of working hurricane harbor with tourists hurricane harbor McLeod Ganj for several years. But that time I spent with him in the first hours chumby could not prepare me for places to spend the next few days.
Nepal first time I saw people living in impossible slopes of the Himalayas. On the hillside, there were scattered houses between green terraces endless. I remember wondering to myself - how they manage to get these houses? How do they manage to survive there?
A few weeks later a similar phenomenon hurricane harbor in front of the Indian Himalayas. Wood and mud houses, isolated and cut off from any road or infrastructure, almost hurricane harbor randomly scattered points. And now I'm after living in such homes for several days. Bali - Raj took me not only his home, but presented the lifetime happening here in the mountains, ancient villages Rabbi days and tradition. His house is at the end of the driveway slope is quite difficult, for thirty minutes walk from a remote village in itself. That village is the endpoint of the isolated chumby Valley.
To reach every home, whether this is the home of a family member, friend, or governor of the region, I received as a guest of honor. Different origins gives me a unique status here, everyone wants the vicinity hurricane harbor of the curious visitor. Tourists do not come here, I guess they see me as a window into another world, to touch without selling. Everyone hurricane harbor looks, some smiling, asking the few who speak English. Mainly interested in what I think about them and what my lifestyle.
Remote locations in Thailand, Nepal and India, developing hurricane harbor local language Arcitkonit. Areas will be built in a similar style, windows are similar, the same number hurricane harbor of floors, similar functionality hurricane harbor of various home departments. Displacement of a hundred miles from a point, it is reasonable to replace the house style perfectly. I guess there are several reasons, including hurricane harbor remoteness bringing higher costs for construction materials that are not available in the geographic area where construction hurricane harbor is being carried. There is of course a close connection between local culture and tradition hurricane harbor construction hurricane harbor style they choose residents.
Ko Chang island in Thailand, almost all the houses are built with asbestos ceiling (an issue I checked ...). Apparently someone did a liquidation sale of materials are considered waste elsewhere. Here in the valley chumby, all the houses are built of wood and mud, with tiled bright gray rock, common in the environment and can be seen everywhere. All the houses, almost without exception, has two floors - downstairs living animal (cow or buffalo), and on the top floor are residential rooms, including balcony overlooking the valley. Kitchen, some shelves with stainless steel tool, and place a small fire. Cooking was sitting on the floor. I was about ten kitchens here, all of them without exception were sitting around a campfire in the center of the room. There was a chimney in the kitchen, just sitting by the fire and enjoy a smoke together.
After seeing so many homes and villages made it clear that these "simple life" and how geographic location and economic status can change sometimes hurricane harbor perceived submitted universal hurricane harbor - family, home kitchen, breakfast and dinner. The materials are made of life, that place looked completely different.
