A Serendipitous Encounter: Unraveling the Sacredness of Cows

Living in the captivating Pink City of India has granted me the privilege of witnessing its unique blend of culture and heritage. Recently, I had a delightful encounter with a curious foreign traveler who had come to explore the pink romantic hue of this vibrant city.

As destiny would have it, our encounter took place in a serene gaushala, where she was engrossed in the act of tenderly feeding the resident cows. Curiosity sparked between us, leading to a profound question that she posed: "In India, cows are worshipped! Why?" This unexpected query became the catalyst for an enlightening discussion, delving into the rich cultural tapestry that surrounds the veneration of cows in this diverse nation.

During that time, delving into the intricate details of history and explaining the primary factors behind the esteemed position of cows in India, which is deeply rooted in their association with Hinduism, seemed overwhelming. Hence, I made a conscious decision to simplify and condense the information, making it more accessible and comprehensible for a foreigner who lives seven ocean away. To ensures that the essence of the topic is conveyed effectively, allowing for a better understanding of the significance attached to cows in Indian culture.

So i told her that the person who gave you life, i.e., your mother, was the one to give you milk first. Therefore mothers are worshipped. After the mother, people drink milk from the cow. You wouldn't take milk from your mother and kill her. Similarly, you don't take milk from the cow and kill her after.

This encounter served as a poignant reminder that even in the bustling Pink City, where tradition meets modernity, age-old customs continue to thrive, reflecting the deep-rooted values that define this nation.

Btw if you come on holidays and stay at an AirBnb instead of an actual registered hotel I hate you personally. Not "I hate the gentrification and touristic massification and the way we can't live in our homes and are forced to move away because of tourism" in an abstract way- No, not just that. I hate you.

#I'm from a seaside town that has become popular with tourists who come for the beach and the mediterranean climate #and the typical whitewashed walls of mediterranean coastal towns #in just a few years the average rent has gone up so much that now the average rent id #*is over 1000€ per month #one thousand!#that's a whole salary!#in the past 2 years they've been building a new neighbourhood. they've destroyed the vinyeards to make a new neighbourhood that will make #the town 1/3 bigger than it is. that's a lot. but all those houses are luxury houses with private swimming pools for rich foreigners (we #already have 2 private British schools high schools and college(in the british sense)/baccalaureate where their kids go and never have to #interact with locals. I teach some of those kids and they're very prejudiced against locals and very bigoted against the catalan language #(which ofc they never bother to learn)#there's a law in catalonia that says that for every certain amount of houses you build you are obligated to build a certain percentage of #affordable housing. so in this new neighborhood they built the bare minumum affordable housing which is still too expensive for us #and since there's so few of them everyone is competing to get them. the city hall and the bank have had to make an official competition for #them but you only classify if the renr would not be more than 1/3rd of your salary which is impossible. my cousins who are in their mid 30s #and have been working a good qualified job for 15 years (and their partners too) are considered too poor to be considered for the #affordable housing #everyone is having to move out to other cities away from their friends and family and current jobs. the only jobs left here soon will be #mostly directed at tourists #and the only way to continue living here if you're a normal person and not rich is if you're an only child who one day might inherit the #parents' house #but we look around at what's happening in nearby cities and we see the next step which will be airbnb taking the houses that are left #in many places (I've posted about thia before) there aren't any flats for rent or sell anymore that isn't an airbnb #I'm still lucky in my town when compared to other places like Barcelona which are already full of the airbnb plague #actualitat #airbnb #tourism #touristic massification #gentrification

Over 1.2 million international tourist arrivals in the Philippines counted (January 1 to March 5, 2024)

If the newest data about the 1.2 million international tourist arrivals released by the Department of Tourism (DOT) for the period of January 1 to March 5, 2024, is indeed true and accurate, then it looks like achieving the 7.7 million international tourist arrivals target for the Philippines for 2024 is doable. The DOT recently announced that that 1,227,815 international tourist arrivals (which…

im generally not a selfie-taker cuz i dont like being In Photos / Being Perceived, but especially when it comes to holiday photos i personally hate taking photos of myself in front of landmarks. i want the location to speak for itself, i dont need to be in the photo to prove i actually visited!

but also tbh i find it a little annoying when people spend like 5 minutes trying to get that Perfect Photo right in front of a landmark and they're doing all sorts of poses and stuff. like you do you but also please be considerate of other ppl also wanting photos......

#rai travelog #especially at the Thousand Torii Gates where you have queues of people trying to walk through the gates #and other people just stop right in the middle to take selfies??#also the amount of people ive seen pulling cherry blossom tree branches to get photos of petal falling around them #or wanting photos framing their faces with cherry blossoms #hell i saw one tourist using a cherry blossom branch as a walking stick and i was just god i hope you picked that off the ground #no wonder the Gion district is closing its doors to foreign tourists soon. im going tomorrow but im not taking photos lmao

hmmmm idk how i feel about the way the game handles khura'in.... i'll keep playing and observing....

#idk the whole....phoenix is in a foreign country but barges into the courtroom and disrespects their way of handling things #i mean they did have a defense attorney there before they said so themselves so it's not unprecedented #but idk it still is so weird to me like.... sure in the context of the game it's like. yeah we know it wasn't the little boy #and we know phoenix can't just sit idly by in the face of injustice like this #but idk it just rubs me a little wrong 😭#feels so much like. “i bring progress to you” yknow? even when we know in the game context that yeah i guess #it's unfair to not have a defense attorney #put a pin in that. is it defence or defense....#anyway .#cas.aa #these tags may not make sense if u dont have context #phoenix is in khura'in to visit maya. the boy who shows him around and is a friend of maya's gets arrested #the khura'inese court system doesnt have defense attorneys they do some sort of séance #which shows what happened or sth idk the details abt the séance yet #and the plot is that phoenix just runs into the courtroom and insists on being the boy's defense #while everyone in the room is like PREPOSTEROUS...!#bc well. he's literally just a tourist #also. the bailiff back in phoenix's country are unarmed or at least it's not mentioned if they're armed #maybe they've pistols by their sides or sth. but the khura'in bailiff has a big viaible machine gun so. idk #it's just.......it feels weird. you get me? maybe im overthinking it

saw a tiktok of like the view of the pyramids of giza from an airplane, and there was this foreigner in the comments talking about how its so strange and wrong that people live so close by the pyramids and how those houses should be cleared away from such an important monument, and like. idk how to tell people that to them, egypt is a cool museum, but to actual egyptians, who are majority extremely poor and live short, shitty lives btw, it is their Home that they Live In and have Lived In For Centuries and that they are under no obligation to uproot their lives and their lifestyles to preserve an orientalist hypercapitalist hellscape Experience(tm) for foreigners who never got over the mummy (1999)

#in order to please tourists and foreign investors the government is currently gentrifying Many areas in egypt btw #bulldozing these incredibly old well loved neighborhoods and taking away civilians' rights to enjoy even a view of the nile #so forgive me if i get touchy about foreigners complaining when the dirty brown egyptians are clogging their picturesque pyramids view #the tourism industry while being a source of income for many egyptians is still the cause of so much suffering #and genuine crises in egyptian identity and the way we view our heritage #idk its just. the gentrification has really gotten started these days and im just sad. im just sad for us.#neighborhoods and communities destroyed for people like this #people will always be more important than this dumb 'egyptian' aesthetic #foreigners have such a weird weird way of talking about egypt and egyptians #ughhh whatever #egypt #gentrification #egyptology #tourism #orientalism
