Incredible India!

I want to tell you about my trip to India four years ago. Before my travelling, I had an idea about India as a country in which all the fairy tales of the world are born. The first city, which was on my way, was – Amritsar. It is in the north part of India not far from Pakistan. At the airport, it was interesting to see how women were working at the customs point. After passing the customs point, I was met by an Indian driver. His English was unclear to me because at that time, my experience in English was very little and besides it seemed to me the driver spoke with great accent. That’s why it was difficult to understand him. Nevertheless through gestures I realized what to do. I got into his car and then we went to Dharamshala city, which is 1500 kilometers far from Amritsar. I was amazing that all along the road there were not open space. All land is built up with houses. I was also surprised by the narrow especially in the highlands. Mostly we were driving at night. Endless houses flashed outside the window of the car, the monotony of the night landscape made me very tired, and I decided to sleep. But we were on the road twelve hours. From time to time we stopped to stretch our legs and have some food. Early in the morning we drove into the city. This is the place where the residence of His Holiness the Dalai Lama is located. We went to the hotel where my friends from Moscow met me.
