Zhihu, the girl who is going to India alone, has not been updated for four years

1.

In the past two days, I saw a video of a boy traveling alone in India. The strange Indian food under his lens, and the small vendor with a "v" gesture toward the camera, once again ignited my enthusiasm for visiting India.

When the blogger who made these videos discussed the topic of "Going to India to play safe," he said: " I think India is okay. At least some of the Indians I met are still very enthusiastic, the worst When I was shopping, the hawker saw that I was a foreigner and wanted to make more money. "

I immediately asked my brother, "Do you have any plans to go to India this year? Take me if you have one." "My heart is moved back to my heart, but I'm not so hearted that a girl can go to India alone.

My brother returned to me soon: "I can't go to India." He also taught me in turn: " must be safe first, and you can play only if you live. "

can only give up.

At first I thought it might be my brother’s stereotype of India, which made him feel that India is very insecure. Judging from the video of the boy traveling to India, India is just an ordinary developing country, although the gap between the rich and the poor is huge. , But they are very polite, it doesn't look scary. After

waited until the impulse cooled down, I found myself ignoring two important points: first , this video blogger is a boy. second , he is a small burly with a height of 1.9 meters. May I ask who would be idle to provoke a 1.9-meter foreign man?

But in line with the principle of fairness to Indians, I still go to the Internet to see what everyone thinks about traveling to India, hoping to gain something like "India’s big cities have made great progress in public security." Timely speaking.

However, he ran into something terribly thoughtful.

In Zhihu, there is a question about whether it is feasible for girls to go to India for a month alone. This is a question raised in 14 years. The subject added a description after the question. The girl who asked the question wanted to go to India to find the traces of the Buddha, but many respondents expressed concern about the security in India. After reading a large number of answers, the subject also indicated that she basically gave up the idea of ​​going to India alone.

But I flipped through the answers and found that someone was asking the question: Has the master returned from India?

clicked into the girl’s homepage and saw that she hadn’t updated her information for four years...

In the comment of her question description, a person (should be a boy) commented on the girl’s plan to go next year and see if she can arrange a companionship . The subject of the question answers below: I also consider going next year (2015), hoping to be destined to travel together.

Later, when asked by netizens, the boy from that year came forward to clarify that he did not go there in 15 years, so he did not understand the current situation of the subject. It has been four years since

, the homepage of the subject is quiet. The best situation for

is that the subject of the title was so unsightly and angrily uninstalled Zhihu because some of the netizens who knew the language were vulgar. I also hope that she really just quit Zhihu.

So far, the girl who once yearned for India never came out to tell us her story.

In fact, there is often a survivor’s bias during travel, which may also be a paradox.

When someone asks where XX is safe for a person to go to, the person who answers is often the person who has returned safely, and those who died in the middle of the journey are often unable to come back to answer. Therefore, in most guides or experience posts, the kindness of fate and one's own luck cannot be avoided. A respondent from

said that he had been sexually harassed by the police when he was going through customs in India. Fortunately, her husband rushed to the scene with an interpreter in time to avoid the intrusion. In addition, in India, other cases of harassment, sexual assault and even rape encountered by domestic or foreign women are also endless.

has an answer that is right. The analogy between Indian sexual assaults and American shootings and Paris thefts is totally untenable, because most Americans themselves hate the perpetrators of the shootings.Li people themselves hate thieves, but most Indians at think that this is the victim's fault. She dresses too revealingly/goes out too late, and this kind of people simply cannot reason with her.

Maybe there are many people like me who know India from film and television works. "Slumdog Millionaire" aroused my curiosity about India. Later, I fell in love with Indian movies in college. All Indian movies released in China, such as "Ah God", "Wrestling Daddy", "Little Loli's Monkey King", "Toilet Hero", etc., will go to Look. One of the reasons is that I enjoy watching Indian people singing and dancing very much at . There is a kind of joy of being infected. In addition, Indian films are generally very rich in color. I like this bright feeling .

Later when I was a senior, I read Meiwei Kappa's "Peeping in India", which allowed me to learn more about this ancient civilization through Mr. Meiwei's pictures. Later, I came into contact with Coldplay's "Hymn for the weekend". The mv of this song is filled with the colors of the Holi festival in India, which really makes people feel happy.

But this is a film and television work, not reality.

This is not reality.

What I like is the India presented on the screen and the colorful India that I imagined in my mind, not the Ganges flowing with dirty things, the real India where crimes frequently occur in the slums. If you don't really know India, going directly to that country may be unacceptable, and even crash.

In fact, everyone is a lonely hero. I want to walk slowly alone on the road to see what the real world is like.

But my brother is right: "You can only play if you live."

For strange and dangerous destinations, the most important thing is to protect yourself to the greatest extent.

• The feeling of traveling alone is very different. This is undeniable. If you have to travel alone, it is recommended to choose a region or country with a relatively high safety factor. Anyway, it is also to see the world. Where can I not see? Gradually, I will have the ability and experience to respond to emergencies, and then make detailed plans for the more dangerous areas.

Indeed, traveling alone is cool, but this is not when you are a hero, safety is the most important thing.

The above are some random thoughts on the questions of the subject and the answers below. I hope everyone will be prepared when traveling and have a smooth journey. Finally, I still wish the subject of safety and health.
