Taj mini lodge

Photoed from Taj mini lodge, back side of RTC new bus stand in Kurnool


I moved to Taj mini lodge but the lodging staffs were afraid that I'm a dangerous people (Maybe they considered that I'm different person from passport owner because my photo on passport is very different from my own face.^^), called policeman. Policemen came to Taj mini lodge after 22 o'clock and told me to go to police office with policemen immediately.

They also looked for something from my luggage, but there isn't any illegal drugs or any other dangerous things in my bags. I think that maybe they were disappointed that they cannot tell me to go out from India. Indian people dislike foreign tourists who don't have any occupation or obvious purpose and reliable contact person in India. They fear that tourists want to do something bad in India or may get in touch with dangerous things or dangerous people, because India is very dangerous place in itself. They think that foreigners also do bad things as same as Indian people.

Looking for something from my luggage.



Gents in Kurnool is more shy than in Bangalore. They are not so proud of their things in Kurnool. But everywhere is TOILET as Bangalore or Mysore city.


Kitchen and Toilet

TO LET

I am staying with 69 years old lady who also lives alone. I saw a card written as "TO LET" from road("I" is not missing from between O and L. I saw a lot of TOLET and tried to find public toilet around the TOLET^^, it means FOR RENT!), I asked people who lives in the building, she allowed me to stay her room(top floor) at 2500Rs/month. I use her kitchen every day and she teaches me how to cook Indian foods. She can't speak English and I can't speak Telugu, people who live around the building must help us to communicate each other.

A policeman lives with his wife and son at the ground floor in the same building, the wife comes up to 3rd floor(the top floor) to dry their clothes every day. The policeman's father's brother has 14 years old daughter and she comes my room frequently, teaches me English and Telugu languages.



It is very difficult to find cheaper hostels or rooms for one lady alone. Indian people think that ladies shouldn't go out alone and people shouldn't allow ladies go out or stay alone (usually gents go shopping instead of ladies), so a lot of hostels or rooms for rent are not allowed for ladies who want to live alone. Indian parents don't allow their daughters to make any boyfriends before marriage, daughters must marry whoever parents decided. Girls shouldn't talk to gents alone and shouldn't meet gents alone. It is better not to let gents know their voices or faces, Indian girls always say "NO" to gents whenever they must contact with gents. There is no bars or cafes or discos or any other places to find boy or girlfriends in India. It is strictly prohibited that boys meat girls anywhere before their parents permit it and girls mustn't make any stimulus for boys, mustn't let them have any curiosity, so many people can't allow ladies go out or stay alone.

But some people allow us ladies to stay alone. Master of SAI DELUXE DORMITORY in Kurnool allowed me stay their hostel, he can speak English and his twin daughters clean the hostel every morning, they are welcoming ladies & foreign guests.

SAI Deluxe Dormitory

In Toilet

SAI A/C Deluxe Dormitory near APSRTC Bus stand, Bellary Road(New bus stand road) opposite side of Ukon shoppy in Kurnool
50Rs/24hour at dormitory with 30*90*90cm locker under bed, 150Rs/24hour at single room. Usually only for gents, but I stayed in this hostel for 2 weeks. When I came this hostel, there is no scrawl in Toilet, but after I came someone draw it and gents try to let me see this scrawl every time every day with entering another toilet before I ought to go to toilet^^.

Roommate in China

I lived in University with Lao people. My room mate is a soldier and working in Chinese company in Laos, the company is making guns and bombs in Laos. She said she worked as secretary of president of the company and if she ask president to let her study more one year in China, he will pay the all study costs for more one year by using money of his company.

Lao peoples love dogs, and they lived with a dog at 7th floor of student dormitory. Teacher told them not to live with dog, but they could hardly let the dog go out.

高い物

Expensive goods in India.

Japanese Soya milk is cheaper than Indian one. I don't know why Indian soya milk is so expensive and so thin.
