Impressions of India | Bangalore.

| Bangalore. On this trip to India, I visited Bangalore. Bangalore is the "fifth largest city" in India, and its reputation as the "Silicon Valley" is well-deserved, with a concentration of high-tech companies and a strong sense of technology. Here are some real "feelings" and thoughtful tips from my trip to India: 1. Social puzzle: The gap between the rich and the poor in India is like a chasm, with slums and wealthy areas separated by a wall. On this side of the wall, children from poor families play in the murky river, while on the other side, the pool of a luxury hotel is deserted. The dilapidated brick houses are the homes of the poor, who often have difficulty accessing drinking water, while garbage piles up on street corners, pigs and dogs forage for food, and children drop out of school and wander around. Meanwhile, the rich live leisurely in Western-style houses and apartments, drive Porsches, dress well, and speak fluent English. Although India's GDP is only about 1/5 of China's, the number of billionaires ranks third in the world, which is contradictory and magical. 2. Accommodation selection: If you want to stay in peace, international chain hotels are the first choice. I stayed at the Renaissance Bengaluru Race Course Hotel, which is above the Marriott level, costs 600-1000 yuan per night, is brand new and comfortable, and offers warm and attentive service. The Evolve Back Hampi luxury resort in Hampi is a treasure, with its luxurious and atmospheric Indian-style castle, costing about 2,000 yuan per night, including breakfast and dinner, in stark contrast to the "dirty and messy" outside. 3. Safety tips: Ladies, don't go out alone at night, safety first. In India, there are security checks everywhere at airports, hotels, and shopping malls, as it is legal to carry guns in some states, so it is always better to be careful. 4. Indian cuisine: Bottled water is "life-saving water," and not drinking it will really make your stomach "protest." Curry is a must-try, with red curry chicken being a great accompaniment to rice, Indian fried rice being fragrant, and DOSA pancakes with sauce being delicious for three days in a row, with delicious food hidden in the streets and alleys. 5. Traffic: The road conditions are like opening a "blind box," with mostly dirt roads, snail-like speeds, frequent wrong-way driving, and cows, sheep, pigs, and dogs leisurely "strolling" around. But strangely, there are few cats on the road, while in Hampi, monkeys often "watch" passersby. 6. Cultural sketch: Most Indians are friendly and enthusiastic, and many speak good English. However, there are few women working in public, which is a reflection of their status.
