The ruins of Hampi, injustice and thick beggars - Part 5

Grand Hamp and interesting people (continued, part 5) me deeply outraged outrageous injustice, which manifests itself in discrimination against aliens with respect to the price of tickets. Obviously, if it happened in any other, more civilized country, such inequality would be considered. Without a doubt, the Taj Mahal - one more example of this attitude ... there entrance for foreigners costs 800 rupees, and for local only 10. Of course, this little money, but the whole point of equality. Well, that's enough ... I already resent the temple after temple Vittala Vittala I went to a nearby village called Anegundi. The bridge washed away, and in order to get there, I had to cross the river by boat. This is a "watercraft" was a round shape and was made from reeds and sacking soaked in bitumen. The boat leaked, but still had to paddle their own. In general, we swam ... Fortunately for the Indians, because none of the passengers could not swim. It was nice to walk in silence through the small village. From it a view of the one big hill on which I wanted to climb - Andzhanadri hill on which is best known around the Hampi temple of Hanuman (monkey temple). This hill was the highest in Hampi. I headed towards the hill on the road fighting off the rickshaw pullers, who could not understand why white people do not hire a rickshaw and go on foot along the 40-degree heat. I did not explain to them that much better so you can see buildings in the village and easier to understand the nuances of rural life. So I continued to walk. Finally I got to the bottom of the hill and overcame the 570 steps to its summit. And it was my best adventure in Hampi. Many travelers refuse to visit this temple, apparently because of its remoteness. From the summit a wonderful view. It was here, at the very top, I met an Austrian Chinese descent named Sea. He had a motorcycle, he invited me to go to a huge dam Hampi, and in general look around. I accepted his offer. We managed to visit one more abandoned house, which is called the Rock Fort Temple. Of course, the move on the bike was much easier and faster! So, thank you, Si! True, I was almost put into his trousers when he, for some reason began to go on the right side of the road, ie, drove into the oncoming lane, let's not forget that in India, drive on the left. At one point the car sped towards us, then I grabbed him and said: "What are you doing, man? Take the left side of the road! "To which he replied:" Sorry, I forgot that I was not in Austria. " The case for India is quite typical. Think about how safe to visit this country!
