lucknow

Lucknow is an interesting city. The architecture is a mix of European and Indianstyle. There are a lot of parks and ”gardens” in the city. So even the city is I metropolitan and bustling and at this time of the year extremely incredibly hot the air is from a nice quality. The people here for me appear as two kind of.first there are the more modern, young and outgoing ones. They are very friendly, helpful and try to make friend with you. Sometimes I sat down somewhere and they just come and start talking to you, practicing their English (which is anyhow better than mine) and asking lots of questions about western culture. On the other hand there are the older ones which seem to be very conservative. Maybe people may comment on this as a prejudice, but my experience is that this is shown mainly on men. Those men have typically a face with the eyes being very narrow and a mustache. The mustache seems to be very heavy because it doesn’t allow any smile. The minds seem to follow the eyes and those people are very narrow minded. Anyhow I focus on the first type of people and enjoy a few nice days in Lucknow. Blacky gets a new clutch and she drives in best condition now.
