Hello !

I’ve been in India for a few days and I must tell you what I have learnt about this country.

First I met a young man : he is an Untouchable. He told me that he was very poor and humiliated every day. He also told me that Brahma is the Hindu God who created the system of 4 different castes in the Indian society. However, he dididn’t create the outcaste called the Untouchables, aka Dalits.

Then, I learnt that this outcaste is badly-dressed, stays in dirty streets and run-down districts whereas higher castes Hindus live in rich neighbourhoods. It’s forbidden by tradition for Untouchables to have any contact with higher castes, that’s why they are separated and excluded. So Dalits suffer from this unfair fate.

Finally, he told me that there are millions of Dalits in the same country and I was shocked because, although the caste system has been illegal for 50 years, the Untouchables are still rejected by Hindus.

See you soon for more pieces of information about the Indian society.

LONDON : a wonderful city

I’ve chosen this city because I’ve already visited it and since, I love it!

First, London is a big city so you can do a lot of things. If you go to London you have to visit the National Gallery and the British Museum (two museums of art), the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, the Tower Bridge, London eye (if you aren’t scared of height, you can see all the city), the Westminster Palace… But they’re not the funniest things.

Next, London is the capital where fashion is very important. Covent Garden is a good place to do shopping. But there are Kings Road, Knightsbridge, and New Bond Street too. Harrods is one of the biggest shopping centre in the world! To my mind, shopping is the best activity to do in London!

Then, in London you can also see a musical such as Billy Elliot, Mamma Mia! , Flashdance or Jersey Boys. I’ve already watched two of them and I really like both. 

         After that, I think English people are very nice. They have no prejudice. The differences between people don’t bother them. They are welcoming.

Finally, you can do varied activities and have good holidays. So it’s a nice destination. I’ve already been three times to London and I enjoy it a lot.
