India Tourism Bureau in New Delhi

Today I went to the India Tourism Bureau in New Delhi. They provide good information for travelers. Also, they recommend the "Delhi Tourism" ((http://delhitourism.nic.in/index.aspx), which provide many options for self travelers, such as 3 day Deihi-Agra-Jaipur program (3200 RPs, tax not included; 4175 for one person with single room, tax included), or one full day tour in New Delhi (210 RPs, tax included)

Be sure to check their "tour package" to see what options they have. If you find it, it is much better than all other private "tourist help" in New Delhi.

There is a airport shuttle bus stop nearby. It is called EATS. A trip to the airport is 50 RPs, and a luggage charged 10 RPs. Their schedule is 4:00, 5:30, 7:30, 11:30, 14:30, 15:30, 18:00, 19:00, 21:30 and 22:30. It will take 45 minutes to go to the airport, depends on the traffic condition. It closes to the Palika Barzar # 7 exit.

I bought a MRT card because I live in the Tibetan Refugee Village. I need to take MRT every day. The village is quiet and no cheating there. I like this place.

There is another government suggest hotel tourism at Varanasi. They organize tours to the triangle cities: (http://rajasthantourism.gov.in/make_your_trip/page1.htm)

University of Delhi

I visited University of Delhi this afternoon. (http://www.du.ac.in/)

It was first founded in 1881 by English. It is older than all universities in Taiwan.

I participated some of their activities. All their classes are taught in English. They also have exchange students with America and China.

A Taiwanese I met will leave for another city tomorrow. She is only 26 years old. She has been to India alone for three times.

I will go to India Stock Exchange center in New Delhi tomorrow. It is hard for Taiwanese to buy Indian stocks, except to buy those "India mutual funds." (no profit guarantee!!)

Cheating in India

My India phone: +91-9871136491

There are many cheaters on the street. On my first night, I have a feeling to go back immediately.

I was brought to a regular hotel and charged for $300 USD for one night. After talking a long time with them, I paid $100 USD for a night. On the customer lists for last night, I was the one to pay the least in 10 customers.

This morning I woke up early to escape it (6:00AM).

India was not a good place for backpackers. Everyone on the street likes to cheat you. (90%)

I found a good hotel to stay in for 2 nights in Delhi. It cost me about $220 NTD for a night.

管理員一: 我不好意思跟你講這個ㄋㄟ...
Mike: 那你可以講講好的方面, 不要講壞的.
管理員二: 據我所知, 公司5年沒發年終獎金了, 4樓和5樓同老闆, 我建議你去4樓的"安x"(Alxxx).
管理員三: 我建議你不要去這家公司, 這樣講應該夠清楚了.
管理員一: 這家公司要說要上櫃, 已經好幾年了, 都沒上櫃, 可能有什麼問題.

Skin Tight

Skin Tight is a Las Vegas show, recommended by my friend Steven Sun.

My friend Steven likes to watch various shows, including Las Vegas shows and Broadway shows. He is a smart person. I have known him since my freshman.

Skin Tight is an exotic show. First there will be some topless dancing ladies. Later there will be a singer. In the middle, a talk show man will say something interesting.

After this show, you can really feel your skin tight.

How to Learn English

It is somewhat strange that a Taiwan wrote an article like this.

Recently, our department hired a Taiwanese, whose age was 24 or so. She speaks very good English.

I asked her why. She said that after her college graduation, she joined a drama show as a actress to promote Christian in the USA. To let audience understand what she said, she cannot have her own accient. Americans around her taught her a lot about how to speak, how to let American audience understand her.

In order to have a better performance, she also needed to memorize all the conversations. After one year of training and show, she came back to Taiwan.

I heard that why Taiwanese cannot speak as Americans was because no one corrects what you said during your learning. To speak as a native, you need to have "parents" to teach you how to talk like your childhood. When we learn English, we cannot find anyone to teach us like to teach a child. That's why we always have our own accent in speaking English.

New York (English version)

New York

It was cold in New York on November, especially for a Taiwanese.


Statue of Liberty

It seems for everyone, who have been visited New York, needed to visit Status of Liberty.

Since 911 of 2001, US government added more security check for important construction. Visitors who want to see Status of Liberty, can only see the library and the surrounding parks.

I went to the south port of Mahannton to buy ferry tickets to there. On the same day in the afternoon, I knew that sometimes New York Visitor Center gave away free Status of Liberty tickets on off-peak seasons.

At the bottom of Status of Liberty, it is the museum of the Status. Some visitors said during summer, you need to wait for one hour for a locker, and one hour to wait on the entrance for this museum.

I had no interest on my way back to Mahannton because I was nearly an immergant for the States. For some stories, I am even better that this museum.


Guggenheim Museum

For Taiwanese, people fight for yes or no for this museum in Taichun. What a musuem it is? I was very interested on it.

The first impression of it for me was not very surprised. Do we need to spend tons of money for it?

Its tickets are more expensive than that of Metropolitum Museum. It looks like that only Europeans like people could get into it. I wonder for New Yorkers, even they are not visit here very often.

Its inerior construction was like a round pole. All stairs are sorrounding with this pole. All show room are easy to get in.

Today's show is Aztecs Emperior. All remainings were borrowed from the biggest museum in the world--the Mexico Museum. I was familiar with this kind of show because I nearly put museum study was my major when I was young.

Does it worth tens of billion NTD? I still had this question in my mind.

New York

十一月的紐約, 對住在臺灣的人來說, 已經非常的冷了。


自由女神像

自由女神像, 似乎是對第一次來到紐約的人來說,一個必須造訪的地方。

自從2001年後, 美國加強了重要建築物附近的檢查, 遊客也只能到達神像的底座, 和附近的公園拍照而已。

要造訪自由女神像, 要先去曼哈頓島南側碼頭買票, 搭船. 後來我才知道, 紐約的遊客中心, 在淡季時, 有時會贈自由女神像的票.

在自由女神像底部, 是博物館, 紀錄了她的歷史, 聽說在夏季時, 光排置物櫃的隊就要一小時, 另外還要再排隊一小時進博物館.

搭船回程時, 我對移民博物館就沒什麼興趣了, 對美國外來移民的故事, 有些我可能比他們還熟.


古根漢美術館

住台灣的人, 最近為了要不要設古根漢美術館在打口水戰. 到底她是怎麼的一個美術館? 我也很好奇.

她給我的感覺, 是她的外觀不怎麼樣, 我們值得花數百億嗎?

她的門票比大都會博物館更貴. 難怪只看到看起來像歐洲的人來參觀. 我覺得, 連住在紐約的人都很少有人來過吧!

她的內部建築像圍繞著一個空心的圓柱而上, 參觀者隨著圓柱而上, 所有的展覽, 大都在每一層的展覽室中.

今天展的是中南美洲的阿茲特克帝國的遺物, 而這些遺物, 則是向全世界最大的博物館--墨西哥市的博物館借來的. 這些遺物對我來說並不陌生, 我以前差點把博物館學當成我的未來工作.
臺灣值得花數百億嗎? 我還是有這個疑問.
