Journal Adventure in India

Before leaving to India I was a little bit pessimist about that trip. I was not sure if I would like the country, the culture, the food, and I have to admit that I would have loved staying in Florida and enjoying my Spring Break in South America. Overall that trip had been a success to me. I’ve been travelling since many years with my family. I’ve been really lucky to get the chance to discover new countries and cultures all around the world. India had been an amazing adventure for many reasons. Few years ago I went to Africa, in Mauritania and it amazed me to see how people could leave together even though the poor situation in the country. I felt the same in India and I would say even more. The first thing that I’ve noticed was obviously the fact that the living conditions are terrible for most of the people. I was extremely chocked about it, all those people sleeping outside, begging for food, begging for a simple tee-shirt and candies. It was extremely sad and weird to be confronted to all those kids living in the streets. I believe that the poverty in the streets and the living conditions have been a terrible eyes opener about how lucky I am to be born in Paris and to study in Florida. The architecture was something also very different from France or the United States. It was amazing to see all those old monuments and especially the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is definitely the most impressive and amazing monument that I’ve seen in my life. I will never forget that moment when I’ve seen that beauty for the first time. Something incredible that you only see in movies.
