Travel to India - Amritsar

Here we also reached from the capital of the State of Punjab, Amritsar. Having left the building жд the station, the city seemed extremely quiet, people are not enough, taxi drivers do not stick. To the center decided to walk on foot. Sikhs very friendly people, on the road many greeted, smiled and tried to help. Since backpacks not at all lungs, all of us took the auto rickshaw for only 60 rupees ($0,9), the distance appears decent, approaching the center, illusion about a spokoynost of the city vanished. Amritsar - the large city, with infinite traffic jams and a huge number of people, in the center a nastoyazy house, hardly you will force the way... Gestkhausa continually, the prices begin from 500 rupees. Ours гест cost 500, less decent is sick, the name забвл, something like Sharma... 

The gold temple - a shrine, the central temple of sikhsky religion and, actually, main sight 

The downtown in Amritsar. Delhi smokes aside 

Kulcha - the most popular dish in Amritsar, is flat cake with potato, paniry, a cauliflower or at once with everything together. Moves with chick-pea sauce, onions and oil. Costs only 35-45 rupees ($0,6-0,7) depending on a stuffing. Madly tasty, one of the very best dishes in India, I recommend all who will be in these regions 

The gold temple looks more effectively in the evening, to the people it is also a lot of 

Sikhs please with color scale of headdresses 

In the north very often people meet appearance, atypical for India. It is a lot of people with light skin and blue or gray eyes, it is a lot of similar to Arabs and Afghans, some just as Europeans.

In 30 km from Amritsar there is a border with Pakistan. 

Border with Pakistan

Every day on Attari boarder border between India and Pakistan hold quite strange show where comes to many people. Shaw carry out from each side of the border, sometimes it is possible to see fragments from the Pakistani border.

For reference use: until recently there was no such country as Pakistan, it was a part of India with the Muslim population, but after release from colonialists of British, in 1947 Muslims wanted to separate and with assistance of league of the Muslim countries and England there was a country under the name Pakistan, divide and dominate. For India it is the national tragedy, the relations between the countries after division intense, it is even possible to tell hostile. 

Keep to the point. From each side of the border big stands, in the center the special road for a performance are established. Hindus and foreigners put separately (about border of pak I do not know), an entrance absolutely free, the beginning at 17 o'clock and lasts approximately an hour and a half. 

At the beginning of the show music plays, the leader with big flags appears, female individuals who have honor to be run with the Indian flag are invited. The marathon with a flag dragged on, women ran half of hour, and I nearly fell asleep.

After the running include the Indian hits and the disco, the girls dancing almost everything begins, the clockwork old man whom military took great pain was still noticed to calm 

After dancings the most crazy show begins that I saw in life. There are military in clownish suits, begin to march a very broad step, conducting something shouts towards border of Pakistan, the people яро support shouts. Further each soldier walks to the Pakistani border, open gate then the military raising of legs shows the hatred to Pakistan then gate close.... Too most occurs from the Pakistani side. Then go columns, the people exult, the leader adds fuel to the fire, soldiers as roosters wave legs, all this nonsense lasts half of hour. At the end of this circus, lower a flag and gate close... Already every day.
