Super unreliable long novel written before it was put on the shelves (2)
When he got up the next day, Jiu'er came to the Ganges River again and watched the saints bathing in the river to welcome the morning sun.
Thousands of years ago, countless Hindus waited for death by the Ganges River. When they died, they threw them into the river and entered bliss. Thousands of years later, this is still the case.
India today is essentially no different from India in ancient times. The power of religion is terrifying. Who can imagine that millions of saints have lived beside a muddy river for a long time, just to welcome death. It seems that Indians have never
Birth is preparation for the day of death.
The Ganges is very long, and the section of the Ganges in Varennasi is called the most sacred, but I really can’t see what makes this dirty river sacred.
Braving the 40-degree heat, Jiuer stayed in Valencia for two days, thinking about his next trip.
Obviously, ancient Indian cities such as Varennasi, Jaipur, and Agra are not to our liking.
Although there is the Taj Mahal in Agra and the Amber Fort in Jaipur, both of which are great buildings that represent Indian civilization and are worth seeing, Jiu'er's body is already very fragile and he cannot continue to endure the pain.
So Jiuer decided to go directly to a modern city in India. India has three so-called modern cities, Mumbai, New Delhi, and Kolkata.
Among them, Mumbai is the most prosperous metropolis, equivalent to Shanghai, and it is also close to the famous hippie gathering place Goa. The travelers I met on the road who had been to India all recommended me to go to Goa.
In 1498, the Portuguese landed in Goa, which was also the longest-colonized place in India. It was deeply influenced by Europe and has many beautiful European-style buildings. Until now, there are still many Europeans living in Goa and enjoying the sunshine there.
and beach.
After careful consideration, Jiuer decided to abandon Mumbai and New Delhi and head to Calcutta.
There are two reasons for going to Kolkata. Baidu Encyclopedia says that New Delhi is the elegant capital of India, Mumbai is a major industrial city, and Kolkata can be said to be a city full of wisdom.
Many world-renowned poets, thinkers and film producers were born here, and many avant-garde theater and art exhibitions are held every day. Rabindranath Tagore and Mother Teresa all once lived in this British colonial capital.
Besides, Jiu'er's health was not good. Whether he returned to his country or continued his journey to Sri Lanka, he would have to pass through here, so he decided to go to Calcutta first to see how his body was recovering before deciding what to do next.
Indian trains have long been famous. I once saw in a movie that even the roof of the train was full of people. When Jiuer arrived at the Varennasi train station, there were indeed a lot of passengers. They were almost in time for the Spring Festival, and the security was extremely chaotic.
However, India has a very good attitude towards foreigners. Foreigners do not need to queue up, they can go directly to a special office, where a guy with excellent English will guide them to buy tickets.
I was the only one in the huge air-conditioned room. Looking at the long ticket buying queue and the sweaty Indian people outside, Jiuer felt a little bit sorry.
Jiu'er said he was going to Calcutta, so this guy directly booked a second-class air-conditioned sleeper and set off this afternoon.
You know, train tickets in India are pre-sold six months in advance and you can buy air-conditioned sleeper tickets on the same day. This situation is really beyond Jiuer's expectation.
India still has a strict caste system to this day. Brahmins, Saliti, Fishas, and Shudras are inaccessible and can be roughly divided into these five social classes.
In the eyes of Indians, the level of Chinese people should be equal to that of Saliti, so he did not give me the opportunity to choose a hard seat because it was for lower-class people.
As for being able to buy tickets on the same day, the reason is that the Indian Railways reserves a certain number of tickets for foreigners, so in India, foreigners will never be troubled by not being able to buy train tickets.
Of course, foreigners are also divided into different levels. The highest level are Europeans and Americans, who are directly given first-class air-conditioned sleepers. Their status is equivalent to that of Brahmins.
Chinese tourists, Thailand, the Philippines, and Africa are ranked second. The worst is Bangladesh. In the eyes of Indians, Bangladesh is not a country at all. Just queue up.
Varennasi to Kolkata 773 kilometers, second class air-conditioned soft sleeper, 90 yuan!!
The moment I got the train ticket, I suspected that I had read the wrong number. I checked it twice before confirming the payment. I couldn't help but curse the train fare in China.
I checked out of the hotel and returned to the station. I threw away everything I could throw away, including the handsome Islamic robe and the notebook F used to help me study English. There was no other way. My current physical condition couldn't bear even this. I had to reduce my burden.
!
There are no staff at the train station. No matter who you are, you can enter and leave the platform freely. There are ice cream vendors, soda vendors, and vendors selling melons and cucumbers everywhere.
I finally found the police and asked if I was on platform No. 4. I walked over from the overpass and bought a large cucumber, which weighed half a catty. The Indian guy carefully peeled it off and took out a jar in his hand to put it in.
of something poured over the cucumber.
Jiuer asked what this was, and the boy said, curry!
Jiuer hurriedly grabbed the cucumber and gave him ten rupees. Oh my God, the curry on top of the cucumber was too strong!
Ten rupees was equivalent to one and two RMB. After eating it, I was half full. I also got a piece of melon, which was also half a catty in weight. It was slightly more expensive and cost twenty rupees. The boy continued to ask for curry, but Jiuer continued to refuse him.
In fact, the tastes in India and Nepal are similar, curry, curry, curry, even ice cream has curry flavor.
Jiu'er is not disgusted with the taste, but he will never accept curry powder sprinkled on melons or even apples (believe me, they eat apples, even watermelons must be put with curry).
There were a lot of people waiting for the train, and there were also a lot of people selling things, but there were no staff. There were two Chinese beauties in a car with me, but Jiu'er was really sick at that time and was too lazy to talk to anyone.
Say hello and sit there eating cucumbers.
After a while, the train came without any warning. It seemed that you could get on if you wanted to, or if you didn't want to, the doors were open anyway, so just go in.
I got on the train in a weird mood and found my berth. A group of Indian students with ID cards were sitting on the lower berth chatting. I put my luggage and climbed to the upper berth.
India is a very dirty place, but the trains are impossibly clean. The quilts and sheets are all packed in brown paper bags and changed after each passenger. The air conditioning is sufficient. I rolled up the quilt and closed my eyes to relax.
Probably because of the air conditioning, I actually felt much better, and my cough was no longer serious. In the evening, the train started counting dinner, and Jiuer ordered a vegetable tapa, which was equivalent to 123 yuan.
Tamba is a standard Indian meal, with vegetables, rice, curry, and soup and yogurt. You give your order to the staff on the train. After the food is ready, someone will bring it to you in the dining car. I'm afraid it's not warm enough because it's still wrapped.
Tin foil.
It was indeed a very strange day. When we arrived at the train station, Jiu'er, who was originally very sick, suddenly developed an appetite and ate a lot of melons. Then he felt hungry again in the evening, so he ate a whole set of vegetable tapas and ate them with his right hand like an Indian.
The Indian guy next to me gave me a thumbs-up, thinking that I was respecting Indian tradition. I said that I always eat tapas with my hands because it tastes like India. This guy smiled even more happily and offered me a drink.
A cup of milk tea costs five rupees, which is equivalent to sixty cents in RMB.
I slept better than in the hotel all the way. When I woke up, it was already early in the morning. The Indian guy who invited me and milk tea on the lower bunk had already got out of the car. Jiuer brushed his teeth and washed his face, opened the car door, ordered a cup of coffee for breakfast, and drank it while
Look at the scenery on the road.
Yes, anyone can open the door on Indian trains. I am not very good at opening it, so the conductor opened it for me.
Stretching my legs outside the train and drinking a cup of coffee costing 60 cents, I felt like I was alive again. Just overnight, the illness was gone and I was full of energy.
The trains in India are definitely the most magical ones I have ever ridden in my life. If you have the chance, you must experience it. There is no paper in the toilet, only a stainless steel water cup, locked on the ground with a chain.
What is it used for? Haha, I can only say that I am still used to using toilet paper.
According to the conductor, even if there are Indians who have not bought train tickets, he will not kick them off because some people are too poor and cannot afford tickets at all. He will just let them find a place to squat without disturbing other passengers.
Just fine.
Jiuer asked about people sitting on the roof of the train. He said that it was true, but not on this line. On the railway between New Delhi and Mumbai, people would climb on the roof because they could not afford the tickets. Of course, that was just because there were so many people.
time.
Letting the rich buy tickets and the poor take the train is equivalent to giving the poor the opportunity to move for free. I suddenly felt awe for the Indian Railways. Coupled with the low fares and food, all the messy incidents at the train station at the beginning have now become more apparent.
It's not that important anymore.
Arrive in Kolkata, exit the station and take a taxi to Sad Street.
The taxis in Kolkata are like the old Shanghai cars in China. The meter that calculates the fare is not electronic but mechanical. However, the price is low and one hundred rupees can cover a long distance.
Jiu'er suspected that the reason why she was so sick was because of the temperature. After all, I am from the north, and 40 degrees would kill me. So when I looked for a hotel, I had one more condition: air conditioning.
It took a lot of effort to find a hotel with a reasonable price. It had air conditioning but no WIFI. It cost 80 yuan a day. I stayed there and spent 150 yuan to buy a wireless Internet card. It was actually 3G and made by Huawei.
After two days of rest, I feel much better. I have handed in all the manuscripts that I should submit. This is the most expensive place Jiuer has lived in along the way. Let’s just treat it as an occasional luxury during a long journey. There is no way, my body really can’t bear it.
Lived.
Kolkata is indeed much better than Varennasi. It has a subway line, buses, and taxis are also convenient. But in terms of modernity? It is probably not even comparable to the third-tier cities in the country.
The food in Kolkata is better than in Nepal. At least there is beef. In Nepal, 99% are Hindus, but in India there are a large number of Muslims. When I eat, I go to the Muslim area and order a double portion of beef curry.
Then have a fish curry and a vegetable curry, and eat it with rice. The meal costs about fifteen yuan, which is lower than in Nepal.
At the corner of Sad Street is the museum. It is one of the few modern buildings in Calcutta and has great momentum. Jiuer is very interested in Indian history, but what attracts me more is the people, all kinds of people in India.
The poor people built their shacks outside the museum wall, ruining the otherwise attractive wall. Not only did the government have no right to drive the poor people away, it also had to build water pipes for them to facilitate their cooking.
So I passed by this museum every day during meal time and saw many Indian women burning stoves and cooking outside the museum.
Everyone is complaining about the high housing prices in China, but in India, housing prices are higher than in China! Because there are no houses for sale in Indian cities!
If you want to develop real estate, you must first clear out the residents occupying the land. In India, one square kilometer can accommodate a million people, all living in shacks. If you want to demolish these shacks, you have to provide housing to these poor people. Who can
Can it be dismantled?
As a result, this strange phenomenon has appeared in Indian cities. The poor have built shacks and live everywhere, while the middle class and rich have no houses to buy. In Kolkata, urban housing prices are as high as hundreds of thousands of yuan per square meter, while in Mumbai,
Even higher.
As the former capital of India and the third largest city, Kolkata has water pipes all over the streets. Because there are too many people living on the streets who need bathing and drinking water, the government has built water pipes and toilets everywhere.
I took the time to buy a flight ticket to Sri Lanka, from Chennai in southern India to Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. It costs 280 yuan. The ferry ticket is also more than 200 yuan. You can see the spectacular Indian Ocean, but the navigation between India and Sri Lanka is temporarily closed.
.
After arriving in Calcutta, Jiuer began to feel the charm of India. The more he stayed there, the more he liked it. However, the visa was only for one month and could not be renewed, so he had to seize the time to see it.
In addition to experiencing the local culture and customs, Jiuer also went to a place he has always wanted to visit, the world's largest red light district, Calcutta and Kanagachi.
The reason why I want to go here is because Jiuer is a very thorough movie fan. The 77th Academy Award-winning documentary "Born in a Brothel" is about the children of a group of sex workers in Kanagachi District.
Jiuer was deeply moved when he saw this film. After winning the Oscar, the Indian government gave each child in the film a sum of money and a house. But the next year, news came that the cutest one
The little girls were sold by their families, and some of the children have become sex workers in Kanagachi District, just like their mothers.
We solemnly declare that the following content contains ingredients that are not suitable for children, please watch with caution!
I took a taxi and told the driver my destination. The driver looked at me strangely. I was too lazy to pay attention to him and didn't care what he thought of me.
When we got off the car, Jiuer was really shocked by the huge formation. The dark residential area was as far as the eye could see. There were women of all ages and appearances wearing traditional Indian saris everywhere.
Some older women, who might be pimps, spoke in Hindi and tried to drag Jiu'er into the dark room. Jiu'er refused them fiercely, causing them to curse many times behind his back.
In India, you must clearly state your position, even if you have a vicious attitude towards others, or even roll up your sleeves and start a fight with them.
According to Jiu'er's experience, if you don't make your attitude clear, people will think you are easy to bully.
Believe me, this is by no means a good thing. India has all kinds of bad habits. If you don’t know how to fight, you will only suffer the consequences!
I've been watching the news recently, and I heard that a Swiss girl was raped to death in India. The reason is very simple. This couple was too kind to others.
Jiuer can tell you with certainty that in India, women, especially women of lower castes, have a status even lower than that of an animal. In India, men have a tradition of raping women. You read that right, they call this a tradition!
Rape of the same caste is called tradition, rape of a lower caste by a higher caste is called luck!
Put away all your compassion and humanistic care. In the lower class society in India, it is still a society where people cannibalize people. Either you choose to fight or be eaten. This is by no means sensational.
The ferocious attitude scared away the entangled old bustards, but attracted a group of rough men. Most of these men were the husbands of sex workers, and some were professional pimps.
After all, we are at the bottom of society in India, and almost no one can speak English. Jiuer chose a short, middle-aged man and asked him to take me into this huge area as a prostitute.
There are countless rooms in the gloomy Tongzi Building filled with sex workers. There are no exceptions. There can be hundreds of sex workers in one building, or as few as a hundred. This is the case throughout the Kanagachi region.
Many sex workers live with their children, both boys and girls. When they saw me coming in, these children were not afraid at all. They knew that their mother was going to do business, so they rubbed their eyes and hid away.
The real liveliness of Kanagachi is at night. Jiu'er asked himself that he was already quite bold, but he still didn't dare to come at night, so he chose an afternoon to come here. Most of the sex workers hadn't gotten up yet and looked tired.
.
These children do not go to school. When their mother and sisters receive guests, they watch from the sidelines. When they grow up, they will start a flesh-and-blood business like their mother and sisters.
An old madam, who spoke fairly fluent English, asked me what kind of girl I was looking for. Jiuer said she should be young and beautiful.
After a while, an Indian girl about seventeen or eighteen years old came, with heavy makeup and a little belly. I asked her how much this girl cost, and she said five thousand rupees. Jiuer said I would change it to another one.
By analogy, seven or eight girls were asked by Jiu'er about their prices, ages, etc. Unfortunately, the old madam's English was too poor to tell anything more.
When the goal was achieved, I said sorry. None of your girls are to my liking. I stood up to leave. The old madam secretly scolded me a few words behind me.
The pimp didn't understand why there were so many girls that Jiu'er didn't like, so he told Jiu'er that you can choose any of the girls here, just tell me who you like.
This was exactly what Jiu'er wanted, so he started walking around the Tongzilou from house to house. There was no need to say anything, just walk in.
As the sky grew dark, Jiu'er gave this buddy five hundred rupees as hard work, quickly left Kanagachi, took a taxi, and left quickly.
If Jiu'er hadn't left at that time, there might really have been a problem, because the man's eyes were obviously wrong, and there were a few thick Indian men around him. When Jiu'er looked at each house like this, he asked questions but
Doing nothing will make anyone feel weird.
The weather wasn't hot that day, but when Jiu'er got into the taxi and stretched out his hand, his back was covered in cold sweat.
I encountered a traffic jam on the way and decided to transfer to the subway. I met a college student in the subway. He saw the words "Kanagach" in Jiuer's diary and asked curiously, so Jiuer said that he had watched the movie "Born in a Brothel"
], and then decided to go there and have a look.
This guy was so surprised that he asked if anyone was trying to make things difficult for me. I said no, and he said I was very lucky. Kanagachi represents the lowest and darkest society in India. No one can control it, the police or the government.
Even the middle class in India don't dare to go to that area for fear of being robbed, let alone a foreigner who doesn't know anything.
In the next few days, Jiuer went back to his leisure days. After typing, he went to the city for a walk. He also went to the surrounding villages and some scenic spots, but he never had the thrilling experience of Kanagachi.
In India, if you walk into any village, you will see hundreds of old houses everywhere. People still draw water from wells built hundreds of years ago. The good-looking wells will have a circle of animal heads and water will spray from the mouth of the animal.
, very wonderful.
In China, we can no longer find our own history, but in India and Nepal, they are still living in history. This is probably why Jiuer likes it here. No one should forget their origins, and everyone on earth should do the same.
Mother Teresa's monastery, almost every backpacker passing through Kolkata will do volunteer work here for a few days, helping the poor people, cooking for them, and taking care of the sick among them.
Jiu'er also planned to do volunteer work in the monastery until he left for Chennai. But suddenly, Jiu'er's condition took a turn for the worse. He was coughing so much that his heartbeat almost stopped. He went to see a doctor and was prescribed some unknown medicine, which he couldn't even take.
Not good.
I was very uneasy and decided to stop the trip and go home immediately.
I flew from Kolkata to Kunming, then from Kunming to Shanghai, and the train from Shanghai didn't even stop for a minute. I didn't dare to enter the house when I got home, for fear that my family would be worried and I would go straight to the hospital.
Fortunately, after the examination, it was just an allergic cough. After drinking some medicine, I stopped coughing in two days.
This is probably God's will. The long journey ended because of a small allergy. If this were not the case, Jiu'er would definitely appear in Sri Lanka as planned, from Sri Lanka to Egypt, and from Egypt to Jordan...
Pity my ticket that can fly to Sri Lanka for only 280 yuan...
Important note:
According to the Indians themselves, there are only 100 million people in India, and the remaining billion are two-legged animals, and the rest are worse than animals. These words refer to the Indian caste system.
The cashier at the front desk will never become a security guard, because being a security guard requires the caste of a security guard. If you ask a security guard to sweep the floor, he will definitely look at you angrily, because sweeping floors is a talent for people of a lower caste. If you ask a sweeper to sweep the floor, he will be a security guard.
Don't talk to people who are not allowed to touch, they will hate you to death! Because these people are not allowed to touch, even if the sweeper accidentally touches someone with the untouchable level, he must go home, wash his hands, and then burn his clothes!
This is India!
Although India has many shortcomings, I must also admit that India is a wonderful country with an ancient history, many, many tourism resources, low prices, and simple people.
At this point, many people may say that it has been reported on TV that there are rape cases in India. You yourself said that the experience of Kanagachi made you break out in a cold sweat. And you still say that the people are simple?
Jiu'er wants to say, India is so primitive and most places are simply anarchy. Europe is good enough, right? Can you give Europe a try with anarchy? It would be strange if there were fewer rape cases!
In India, you can see polite gentlemen who speak fluent English and go to the UK for vacation every year. You can also see a large number of unemployed people. Even if someone is raped, they continue to watch! Indifferent!
That’s India!
In India, the most primitive survival rules are used!!! Students with lower survival ability must not take the risk to enter India!!! Because here, you must be responsible for your own life, no one will protect you!!!
Why don't the police protect you?
Oh my God, this is India!!!
Summary: India is not a good place to code. It was early autumn when Jiuer went there, the temperature was still frighteningly high, and the Internet was not popular. To say the least, it is difficult to get a visa to India. You can’t even go there if you can’t get one.
, what else are we talking about code words?
But India is an excellent place to travel. I like India very much. I like the ancient buildings on the streets here, its original ecology, and its low prices. I may not go to Nepal again, but I must go to India in this life.
once
Experience summary on travel code words.
Clothes:
I don’t think it’s necessary to discuss travel equipment such as jackets and quick-drying pants. If you bring them, take them with you, and if you don’t bring them, don’t bring them. It’s not a big problem.
Bags and shoes need serious discussion. These two are so important. A bag that is not waterproof will destroy your computer, and a bag without a carrying system will crush your shoulders and completely collapse you.
When I set off on the journey, I spent 200 yuan on a military canvas bag. My shoulders were almost deformed from the pressure on the way, so I reluctantly bought a 65-liter Lesface mountaineering bag for 1,100 yuan. This is also
Jiuer traveled for five months and spent the largest sum of money.
But I think this bag is worth it. It costs 2,000 to buy it in China. Besides, I have a bag in my hand. A good bag can be used for many years, and the price-performance ratio is quite good.
For shoes, Jiuer brought a pair of domestic Kangerjian hiking shoes, more than 200 yuan, and Vietnam-made running rabbit sandals, with free shipping of 45 yuan. The quality is very good. I have never had any problems with hiking and wading. The only problem is
Hiking shoes are too heavy and walking on cement roads will be a tragedy.
Food: Don’t ask me, Jiu’er has never been too picky about food. Just enough calories, protein, and vitamins.
It is worth noting that although Nepal and India do not eat beef, they do eat buffalo meat, because buffalo is the bad guy in Hinduism, and buffalo meat is difficult to chew. When eating, you must ask clearly, BUUF means buffalo meat, and BEEF is delicious.
beef.
Accommodation: Nepal is cheap, India is slightly higher, and Tibet is very expensive.
OK: It’s cheap, but the conditions are not good. I don’t care much about it. I often ride on the roof of a car to save money. As long as I’m not ripped off by others, the cost only accounts for a very small part of the trip.
Computer: There will be power outages in Nepal and India. A reliable computer with high battery life is very necessary. In addition, it should be packed in a small backpack and carried with you. When Jiuer goes out, he always has two bags, a big bag on his back and a small bag hanging on his chest. It is a loss.
It's a big deal for people who eat, so it's best to add a rain cover.
Money: Remember the names of the following three banks, Hua Xia Bank, Ping An Bank, and Citibank.
Overseas withdrawals from these three banks are free of charge, which is much better than converting RMB into U.S. dollars and then converting U.S. dollars into local currency!!
Just carry some RMB and some US dollars with you (Euros are particularly difficult to use, as you can see in person). You can withdraw cash at any time from Santander, HSBC and ATM machines along the way.
It should be noted that these banks all have free withdrawal times. For example, Hua Xia Bank only withdraws once a day, and a handling fee will be deducted if you withdraw it twice.
Safety: Europe and North America are very safe, but those are the destinations for code masters. We have no choice but to choose places with low prices. There is no safe place in this kind of place. Please read more guides and pay attention to exchanging information with friends on the road.
.
Total cost: Including all transportation expenses, return air tickets, all food, drinks, accommodation expenses, clothes bought on the road, the luxury hiking bag of more than 1,000 yuan, a five-month trip to Tibet, Qinghai, Nepal, and India, cost 10,000 yuan
It costs more than 8,000 yuan, which is equivalent to less than 4,000 yuan per month. Among them, Tibet spends the most and Nepal costs the least. How many kilometers does it cost? I haven’t calculated it, but it’s a lot anyway.
Global code word destination test.
Sri Lanka: This is a good place to code. It is a Buddhist country. It is easy to get a visa. It is close to the Maldives. You all know the scenery of the Maldives, and Sri Lanka is a cheap version of the Maldives.
Recommended place of residence:
Kandy: An ancient city in the mountains, with lakes and mountains, and a pleasant temperature.
Galle: Spanish castles, ridiculously cheap seafood, and charming beaches.
Trincomalee: The stronghold of the LTTE. Sri Lanka is now at peace. Prices here are low, there are few tourists and it is quiet.
In addition, the phone bill in Sri Lanka is also very cheap. A charge of 50 yuan can last a long time. A call home from Nepal is 60 cents, but here it is only 40 cents.
Route: It is cheapest to fly from Chennai via India, otherwise you have to choose AirAsia.
Visa: Visa on arrival, unlimited renewal.
Georgia: The mysterious Caucasus, the last undeveloped pure land in Europe. When my compatriots are charging in the streets of Paris, London, Rome and other big European cities, I want to go to this country where the war has just been extinguished.
Recommended place of residence:
Tbilisi: The largest city in Georgia, a lakeside city with many old buildings and old streets.
Poti: a charming tourist city on the Black Sea.
Batumi: It is also a city on the Black Sea, and the scenery is even more beautiful than Poti.
Why choose Georgia?
No explanation, just look at Google Maps and travel notes. In a few years, this place will become as crowded as other European countries, so hurry up.
Route: Urumqi China Southern Airlines direct to Tbilisi.
Visa: Visa on arrival, unlimited renewal.
at last:
Code word travel is different from ordinary travel. Jiuer’s experience is to go with the flow and never follow the crowd.
At that time, Jiuer and Mushroom were in a very good relationship. She was going to Thailand. If I went with her, no one knew what would happen. It was even possible to find a wife.
But Jiu'er didn't do that. If you want to leave, just leave. You can only move forward at your own pace. After all, others don't need to work every day.
I will live in one place for a long time, and when I get bored, I will move to another place.
It's actually quite interesting to get in touch with local people and understand other people's lives. Other people's travel is like a race. I wish I could travel to more than a dozen countries in more than ten days, but mine is like a walk, walking from one place to another.
I don’t agree with casual travel. If that were the case, just buy a round-the-world ticket and fly once, and you can declare that you have traveled around the world!
As a coder, if you want to rely on a small amount of royalties to go to more places and travel farther, you can't do it without enduring some hardships and using your brain.
brave!
I firmly believe that what kind of author there is, what kind of protagonist there is, and what kind of story there is!
Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles.
It’s spring time again, pack your backpack, hit the road, be brave and move forward.
PS: This article was published by Jiu'er in the author's internal forum a year ago. Only a few colleagues have read it. Jiu'er is relatively low-key. This is the first time that Jiu'er has shown his experience to his brothers and sisters.
A while ago, I read an inspirational chapter by a certain great man. It was about how he went from being penniless to buying a car and a house, saying that a man must rise.
Inspirational words are quite inspiring, but Jiu'er has been thinking about a question. Is this kind of inspiration too similar? It seems that everyone's lifelong ambition is to buy a car and a house. Doesn't it mean that if you don't buy a car or a house, you don't count as a man?
As a person, can you pursue something different?
Although some people will laugh at Jiu'er for being stupid, Jiu'er, a fool, has spent half his life trying to look a little different from others.
Others work hard for promotion, but Jiuer gave up his job and chose to code in order to pursue his dream.
Others code words in order to buy a car or a house. Jiuer looks at Google Maps every day, hoping that when he finally dies in this life, he will die on the road, and no one will recognize him or remember him.
Whether it is Jiu'er's previous books or the chapters before this book, Jiu'er is actually pursuing a little difference. This is Jiu'er's style, both as a person and in writing books.
Jiuer hopes that her brothers and sisters can also live happily. The definition of happiness must be thought and pursued by yourself. Others tell you that this is happiness, but is this really the happiness you want?
After peeling herself off and putting it in front of her brothers and sisters, Jiuer felt there was nothing to be ashamed of.
Jiuer told everyone honestly that in addition to survival, where will the rewards and royalties received by Jiuer be used in the future and what will he pursue? For example, this travelogue, this journey of thousands of miles, is actually about the brothers and sisters.
Completed with funding!
To this day, Jiuer still feels deeply grateful! Thank you very much!
Of course, the road to pursuing dreams is often bumpy. Some brothers and sisters may still remember that Jiuer spent a long time in 2013 to modify his bicycle into an electric one, and rode this bicycle from Shandong to Guangdong, and from Guangdong to
Southeast Asia.
It was a complete failure that time. Jiuer struggled around and found that not to mention riding this car to Yunnan, even Henan might not be possible.
Failure is always inevitable, but Jiuer is willing to try and bear the consequences of failure.
Don't laugh at me for being stupid, at least Jiu'er is still pursuing his dream.
Maybe there are brothers and sisters who have read Jiuer's article and can think about their future life. That would be really good. There may also be things that need consultation. In this case, you can join the group and find Jiuer's Penguin account.
I must ask my brothers and sisters to forgive me. Jiuer rarely talks in the group, and everyone often cannot contact Jiuer.
That's because some people never know where their dreams are, while others are busy working on their dreams all day long.
