小妹到過印度兩次, 一次東面 (加爾各塔, 大吉嶺), 第二次是德里及西面, 但那時未沉迷於跑步, 所以未試過在印度跑, 不過印度人多, 車多, 牛多, 空氣嚴重差, 小心d 吧

草兄何時去印度?  印度哪兒?

我都plan緊出年年頭去加爾各塔，請問c-tse是去旅遊嗎，感覺如何？

小妹是01年9月份去加爾各塔及大吉嶺, 第1次去印度感覺很震撼, 畢生難忘, 那時還對自己說去印度一次便夠, 誰知今年復活節是第二次呢, 相信還會繼續去 (如有機會).

印象很深是印度之人多, 貧窮, 街上一家大細流離失所, 在街上搭建他們的家, 街上的小狗瘦得極度可憐, 火車站之人頭湧湧等等, 大吉嶺便是印度的天堂, 加爾各塔 - 地獄, 加爾各塔比德里還要差, 不知道7年後是否已有改善, 但這便是印度獨特之處. 要有心理準備, d人很煩, 想賺你錢, but that's India, you have to learn to survive in India.

加爾各塔真係咁差？據我所知個度都係一個大城市，貧富差距大，空氣污染嚴重。不過我唸我都係會去，跑步就未必喇。

My first time in India was in 1999.  I go to India about 2-3 times every year for business.  I usually stayed in Mumbai but occasionally  I also go to Jaipur, Udaipur and Delhi.  The overall impression of India to me is not a proper place for running.  In Mumbai, the weather is hot and humid and the road is not in good condition.  The water is dirty.  How you dare to drink anything during the race? You may very likey end up with stomach problems. Perhaps, if they have races in Rajasthan state, I may consider since the weather here is very nice and teh area is more for tourist.

嘩, 乜你地講到果到好似沙漠咁呀, 又塵土飛揚, 又熱, 又空氣污染, 又好似無水源咁...

但果到衣家唔係發展緊咩? 仲係街上好多窮人咁架?

果到唔係發展緊IT咩, 聽人講果到會係IT既發展中心?  有無人可以share下D相呀?

hey, I found the following:

It seems that some running groups in India, and I've checked the weather of Delhi and Mumbai, the temperature is between 22-30C, seems similar as Hong Kong

and I found there have beautiful mountains, rivers, harbours and buildings, the infrastructure seems not so good, but there still have shopping malls for buying somethings

I enjoyed travelling to those countries in the past. However, it is a bit boring to travel there repeatingly.  Indians like Chinese food very much and there are full of " Chinese Restaurant".  Interestingly, you can have a lot of food which you can never have in HK but some of them are really deliciously. For example, there is one dish called "Paneer Manchurian".  This is fried cottage cheese with spring onion, ginger and some spices.  Also, they like very much the "Sour and spices" soup.  They also have "Aloo Manchurian"-Fired potato dumpling with spring onion, ginger and some chinese spices.  They also have "魚香茄子" but it is just deep-fried eggplant with some sweet and sour source.  Very funny!!

I have started LSD for sometims and I have tried to keep running very day about 8-10 km.  The progress is quite ok in last few weeks. The week before, I can accumulate up 64km in a week with 24km as LSD (9.8km/hr). However, since last weeks, I was in a company function for a week and I had alcohols and heavy meals almost every evenings and eventually gained some weights as well.  Luckily, it is over now but I found that I was extremely tired during the LSD and I cannot even finish the normal distance that I usually have.  This morning, I have a usual running of 10km but I felt very hesitate to run and I am very tired.  I don't know if I will soon recovered or I have to change my running shortly to other exercise to pass this gap.  I now have a feeling that I don't like running.  How come I have such feelings?

Hi kopo hing ~

It might be a sign of burnout if you have the feeling of "don't like running".  It happens especially at the beginning but once you overcome this obstacle, everything will sail smoothly.  I suggest you not to engage in any running activity for a couple of weeks now.  Go hiking or swimming or do something that you enjoy doing.  Put your mind away from running for a short while and see if you still have that feeling.

Wow, I guess there must be a lot of Chinese living in India and lots of Chinese grocery stores too. Very interesting!  I wonder if the Indians love their own curry or our Chinese style curry?

David Ching, I am trying to do other exercise but not running or just running a shorter distance of just 6-8km.  I feel better now.  I am not sure if it is common for those people who wanted to practise Full marathon.  Also, I always worry to run improperly since it would lead to injury.  So, whenever I feel some pain or just suspected pain in any part of my body, I started to worry.  Am I too over-reacted?  

I usually stay in west part of India where have less chinese.  But in Kolkata where located in the east part of India, there are more Chinese or Tibetese.  I thought most Indians are tired of their own curry and they want to try something else.  But in fact, they get used to the strong favored ans spicy stuff, it is difficult for them shift to those food with less flavor such as Japanese food or Sushi.

I still have the spicy powder for the  tea masala. I bought this from India and I occasionally boiled some tea masala especially when I cooked the Indian food.  It is very tasty.  I don't know why many girls like Sari. Is it really that beautiful?  But one thing for sure is that the Punjabi girls are really really beautiful.

小妹家中都有存貨, 不過在印度的小巷中飲另有一番風味.  SARI - so colourful and each one is different
