I'd like to stress that if you've come here for politics. You've come to the wrong place this video is not about politics

就來錯地方

This video is about my first impressions of India and well my impressions in general of life on the streets in India and in China

這部影片不談及政治

Although I am qualified to talk [about] China having lived here for over [10] years

只聊我對印度的第一個印象

I'm not as qualified to talk about India because well, I only visited India for 10 days [I]

印度街上日常生活的印象

Did however manage to Soak up a lot during those 10 days so let's start off with my first impressions

和中國

My first impressions of India is that all those chaotic. [it's] very colorful and vibrant

雖然我相當有資格談論中國

very friendly very

在中國也生活超過十年以上

diverse

我就沒有資格評論印度

but also

因為初來印度旅遊只有十天

very dirty and poor

我也盡可能吸收印度文化 在這十天裏

My first impressions of China when I first arrived was although it also shares a lot of similarities with India being

從印度的第一個印象開始聊起

chaotic and Vibrant it was a lot [more] modern [I] felt and

對印度的第一個印象是

lacking in diversity in other words people are very much the same and

全部都很混亂

Very very very money driven instead of being friendly

五彩繽紛

I find the people more curious in China

充滿活力十足

First of all let's talk about some of the differences that a traveler will experience when traveling to India versus China

非常友善

And I may as well start with the language

非常多元化

since in India almost

但 也是

Everybody could understand English and speak a little bit of it even the taxi drivers or Tuk-Tuk drivers [Etc]

非常髒亂

And this made a huge difference, and of course is very helpful for anyone coming from an English-speaking country

和貧窮

Whereas here in China, I'd say

我剛到中國的第一個印象

99.9% of taxi drivers can't speak English most people can't speak English and if somebody approaches you speaking English especially [in] a tourist area

雖然也是很多部份和印度很類似

It's probably because they're trying to scam you

很混亂

The next thing I'm going to talk about is tap [water] you cannot drink tap water in either, China or India

活力十足

I've been told it's a bit more extreme in India in fact

我覺得有更多點現代化

I was warned to not brush my teeth with tap water or take

和缺乏多元化

Shower with my mouth open which seemed a little bit extreme to me

換句話說

but I'm quite [used] to the whole having to drink bottled water thing living in China since if you drink tap [water] you will get

人民太相像

sick in some other fashion

非常 非常一切向錢看

next

儘管很友善

[internet] now surprisingly

我發現百姓更有好奇心

[internet] is very difficult to get in India

在中國

Now I know

首先我們先來聊聊

Internet in China is actually very easy to find you can find free wi-Fi on almost any coffee shop or even at any restaurant

旅行者在印度和中國之間將體驗到

However, it's censored

何種差異

so it's pretty much useless if you're trying to check your gmAil or

就先從語言開始

Go onto Youtube or Facebook or whatever you wouldn't be able to use those services anyway

在印度幾乎每個人都能聽懂英文

But in India I found it very very difficult there was no free Wi-Fi

和說一點點英文

I had to pay for [internet] if I wanted to use it and for instance at my hotel

即便是計程車司機

I had to get special vouchers every day with special passwords in order to use the [internet]

或塔塔司機等等

so the internet I found even in the the big airports was very very difficult to [had] to produce my

這造成極大的差異

Passport, and I had to get a special code which only lasted [for] a short amount of time

讓每個來印度遊玩的英文語系的遊客

So access to the internet in India is surprisingly a lot more difficult than it is in China

很有助益

Now there's a very interesting habit that most indian people have which I had not seen outside of India and that [is] a head shaking

然而在中國

Thing that they do when they are nodding in agreement

我肯定

But it's not the nod that we're used to in the west. You know sort of yes, not. They do a

99.9%的計程車司機不會說英文

Left and right thing. I can't do it. You'll just have to see it in fact

大部份的人也不會說英文

I probably have a little clip over here of someone doing it

假如有人接近你且用英語交談

Now this just means yes

特別是在觀光地區

And I was very confused at first because I tried to order something at a restaurant

就可能是他們要詐騙你

And I said I would like two fried [eggs], and the waiter did this and I thought he meant no so I said okay

下一個要聊的是自來水

How [about] some chicken or whatever all else was on the menu and he did it again?

自來水都不能喝的 在中國和印度

So I honestly thought that he kept saying no, and I was getting quite frustrated

我曾被告知

But I picked up very quickly that this actually means. Yes

在印度有點極端

Or acknowledged so as you're talking to people you'll see them

有人警告我不要在印度用自來水

Shake their head and this just means they're saying yes, or agreeing with you right. Let's talk about food and drink in India

刷牙

first of all religion plays a huge role in the different kinds of food and drinks that you can get

或是洗澡時嘴巴不要張開

For instance there are a lot of vegetarian restaurants in India [due] to the religion in China of course

對我而言感覺有點極端

Vegetarianism isn't really a thing

但我很快就適應整個飲水問題

It's very rare so everywhere you go you'll find meat and you'll find pork you'll find beef you'll find every kind [of] meat chicken

直接喝瓶裝水

whatever because there's no religious taboos on eating any kind of meat, but in India you can't eat cows obviously and

生活在中國時

Some religions require you to be vegetarian, so you will see a lot of veg only written on

只要一喝自來水就會生病

Restaurants, and I suppose it's actually quite delightful for anyone who is a vegetarian [I]?

而改用其他飲水方式

Was very surprised to find out that?

下一個

The Indian food that I'm accustomed to eating or was accustomed to [eating] back in the west is very different to the Indian food you

網際網路

Actually find in India right let's talk about drinking culture in India versus drinking culture in China now

現在很驚奇地 網路在印度是很難找到

first of all those who've watched my videos before are probably quite aware that drinking is a very big part of Chinese culture and

你們都知道

Not only amongst families during big celebrations

網路在中國是很普遍的

but business deals are concluded usually over a lot of drinking usually drinking hard alcohol like [I] do and

你可以找到免費的無線網路

It's rather juvenile to be honest. There's a lot of trying to prove who can be the strongest by drinking the most

幾乎在任何的咖啡店

But that is the Chinese drinking culture now unlike in China where religion is

即便是在餐廳

Non-existent because well it was banned in the past and although you're allowed to practice religion

但被封鎖審查就變成無用

If you like these days nobody really does because of course all the religions being lost

若想打開Gmail

India is an incredibly religious place you walk around on the streets

或想上去YouTube Facebook 等等的

And you'll see people in all sorts of different religious garb people practicing various different religions

你是無法使用這些伺服器的

You will see a Muslim school right next to a Christian church right next to a buddhist temple

但在印度

[it's] really interesting and I must say quite fascinating to see all the different kinds of religions all working together, or all

我發覺不同點

Living together. I should say now due to the fact that religion is an incredibly big and strong part of Indian culture

就是沒有免費的無線網路

Drinking is very frowned upon

我必須付錢的

And I suppose most religions actually don't approve of drinking and so it's very difficult to find a drink

若想使用網路的話

Probably the most interesting part of my trip to India was the adventure that I had trying to find a drink

例如在旅館就必須每天要憑証

Now there were signs posted all over my hotel room saying no alcohol allowed on premises there were no

有密碼後 才能上網

restaurants that would allow me to drink inside, so I was walking around trying to figure out where a person can find a drink and

網際網路

I noticed every once in a while sort of an inebriated

即使是在大型機場

Scoundrel stumbling out or being thrown out of these really dark Dingy looking little bars

也是非常 非常困難

And they were sort of hidden away on Back streets

必須拿出護照

They weren't that easy to see and I thought to myself well, that's not really the kind of place

給你個特別的密碼

I want to go into it looks fairly dodgy and dangerous, but you know what I'm having an adventure

也只能上網很短的時間

[I'm] in a different country I can take care [of] myself. [I'm] going to go inside and check it out

網路的存取

So I found one that didn't look too [bad] and I walked inside, and it was very different

在印度是有點驚奇地困難

first of all there are

比起中國的話

Cubicles that you sit in so they lead you in and set you down and your own little cubicle

大部份印度人有個有趣的習慣

It's very small probably can fit two or three people maximum

在印度以外是看不到的

And it's blocked off from everyone else so you can't see other people drinking and they can't see you drinking then

就是頭左搖右擺

Another thing is that all the lights are turned off in the place

他們此動作就表示點頭同意

You've just got light filtering in from the windows and all the bars were also sort of underground leveled down

但不是我們西方習慣用的那種點頭

So you're sitting underground in the dark with light filtering in from the top and I suppose the reason for this is [to]

他們這樣做左搖右擺

More or less hide your identity you don't want people to walk past and see that you're drinking inside the bar

我不會做

well

你等一下可以看到

Whatever the case. I sat there

我會剪輯一段放在上面

I had a beer in this first bar and had a chat with the manager and

這樣代表是的

Actually very friendly people and I was very surprised and a lot of my worries were alleviated

起先我感到很困惑

Because it seems like that's just the way things happen there

在餐廳點菜時

so I went to a couple of these little bars, and I actually met some very nice and interesting people and

我說我要兩個煎蛋

learned that

服務生這個動作

It's quite common for some people well the people I was talking to they were mainly sort of construction workers or long-distance bus

我以為他們沒有

Drivers or you know they're very sort of low income earners that hang around in these bars

OK 那就來點雞肉或其它菜單上的

I suppose if you've got money you probably drink at home and

他再做此動作

They were telling me how it's quite common [for] them after work to come and have a couple of tots of whiskey before

我還認為

they go home obviously it's to fortify themselves before they have to go face the family and

他們一直說沒有

I actually had a lot of fun and met some very interesting people

我感到越來越困擾

And it was very interesting to see how different drinking culture was over there

不過我很快理解到這表示是的

Now please bear in mind

當你跟人說話時

I do realize [that] it can't be like this all over the whole of India [I] do know that in places like new Delhi

他們搖著頭

It's a lot more open

就代表他們說是的

There is a bar [scene] there and people can go out and drink with their friends Etc

或表示同意

And it's not as frowned upon as it is down here in mangalore where I was

現在我們來聊聊印度的美食和酒

But I did pass through new Delhi and Mumbai and all the way down to Mangalore

首先宗教扮演著很大的角色

And I did see that alcohol wasn't really very widely accepted

有很多不同種類的飲食

So it turns out these bars weren't as bad as I was expecting

和喝很多種酒

I was expecting them to be dangerous and full of scoundrels and really dodgy

比如在印度有很多素食餐廳

But actually I met a lot of friendly interesting people and I had a good time

因為宗教的關係

Yes, they were dirty full of flies and well a bit weird

當然在中國素食者並不普及

But I really [did] have a good time. So this brings me onto this little point. I want to make here and that is

也非常少

before you knock something try it and in fact

所以到處都找得到肉

I've just done a video about this. I had a lot of preconceived notions before coming to China and when I got to China obviously

有豬肉

Found out that most of them were wrong. I am going to link you to it here please go and check it out

有牛肉

Let me know what you think [I] hope you found this video interesting

有雞肉和各式各種的肉

I just have to say that my little adventure to India was absolutely wonderful and I can certainly recommend it

因為沒有宗教禁忌

Anyway until next time. Thank you for watching can't wait to see you in the next video and as always

來禁止他們吃肉類

Stay awesome

但是

you
