India Part 1

I have arrived safely in India. This is already my 10th visit to India since my first visit in 2011.

Amazingly, I come here more often than I do back home in Hokkaido.

When we returned from mining, we received a call from the local mining team, and we were able to time our trip to India to coincide with that.

After traveling from Fukuoka to Shanghai to Delhi, we will move to Himachal Pradesh in northern India.

From the capital, Delhi, we travel by bus, which takes approximately 16 hours.

The movement is still continuing.

The vegetable mix curry I had at a service area on the way was full of chunks of cheese.

It was topped with lots of coriander and was very delicious.

On the way to Himachal Pradesh, we drove along cliff-like roads, so I almost got carsick.

On the way, I saw the scene where a bus had fallen off a cliff last week and about 50 people had died.

It's scary to think that this could potentially happen to someone else.

When I was in junior high school, I would take the bus to Sapporo in the morning to buy clothes like those in magazines.

When I was in high school, I saved up money from part-time jobs and went to Tokyo to buy clothes.

Then, when I started living in Tokyo, my consciousness turned even more outward.

Although they no longer come to India to buy clothes, they still come to India to buy minerals, parts, etc.

On the bus ride, I realized that the physical distance within me is gradually shrinking.
