A tourist's report on India

So this Chinese guy/gal goes to India -- sees lots of stuff, takes lots of pics.

Puri is a tourist hot spot on the east coast, where heaven and hell come together. One side of town is the hotel area, with its picturesque beaches, the other side is a poor fishing village. The inhabitants’ straw huts are lonely islands in a sea of trash, and I got the feeling that it’s never taken away. The most shocking thing: every villager would defecate on the beach. It wasn’t only villagers who would take a crap on the beach, out in the suburbs you’d get used to seeing people doing it on the side of the road, and the Indian men would do it out in the open, never sneaking off to a secluded spot in the undergrowth. Everywhere from small towns to large cities would have men showing the special characteristics of their culture; even in the major city of Kolkata [Culcutta], on the most upmarket of streets, were white collar workers carrying briefcases walking past crowds of people urinating against walls.

I especially like the part about how wiping your ass with no toilet paper is "green". Wait until the liberal environmentalists get ahold of that one. This is easily the most disgusting thing I've read and seen in a long while. Utterly offensive to all reason and decency. I sent the link to all my friends.
