A Sino-Indo Gathering in Xiamen(Amoy) and About Navneet Bakshi

[AndrewJin]

They seem to be northern Indians. In Malaysia, Indians are from the state of Kalinga. Hence the darker skin.

Yes, even north to New Delhi. Many indians in Malaysia?
Is political rights of Chinese well protected?

 

[powastick]

They are Indians first!! Religion comes later!

Cause some Hindu don't eat pork.

Mr.&Mrs. Bakshi eat anything except beaf.

Many, 30 shops around here, 5 shops are own by Indian. I could walk out and get Indian food and back in 5 minutes. There is a little-India in Ipoh itself. Sungai Siput, Sungai Petani and Cameron Highland have high concentration of Indians. I think Ipoh have several Indian temple. Some of my teachers were Indians.

Argh. How could I forget Batu Caves?

Political rights? Yes. However, political rights don't mean anything since you can't win elections.

Chapter Three, Visiting A Bus Manufacturer
21 February 2015

After dumplings, a friend who works as a salesman for Golden Dragon Bus( along with King Long and Higer belong to the same group) took us to visit one of his company's factories. He sales buses and coaches to the global market. Mr. Bakshi seemed highly interested to introduce electric buses of this brand to India.

The factory is in Haicang District, suburban Xiamen
King Long - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These for Israel, very luxurious inside

These hybrid ones for Xiamen public buses
CNG/LNG/Hybrid account for more than 30% of total bus number in Xiamen by 2014.

They are Indians first!! Religion comes later!

I wish there is more interaction between Indians and our Chinese friends. My cousin is in the merchant navy and presently stationed in Zhoushan China. He has wonderful things to say about his Chinese friends especially whenever he goes to Shanghai which is pretty often.

This impression is a far cry from most of the Chinese keyboard warriors on PDF!!

i feel the same way. I have very good impression judging from Mr.Bakshi, but things change when i joined here some days ago. Apparently, some Indians here centre more on other nations' issues than their own.

 

[OrionHunter]

Wow! I want this bus!!!!!!

 

[AndrewJin]

Wow! I want this bus!!!!!!

Sorry, even Xiamen, the biggest share holder of this company(50%) cannot afford that. Super pricy

So how much does this beauty cost??

 

[AndrewJin]

So how much does this beauty cost??

I don't know either, I kept asking but that salesman friends just said good prices for Israel since they are rich
Leather seats, facilities for the disabled, wifi, realtime monitor, eco-chip(don't know what is that) and a sense of luxury inside. Most cities here only afford the second hybrid one.
And most importantly, local protectionism will make it possible only to buy local buses, like in my city Wuhan which only buy made-in-Wuhan, the same in nearly all big cities in China.

@AndrewJin i've actually heard of Navneet and his blogs years ago, nice to know he is still doing these cultural & travel exchanges, GJ.

this is a defense forum after all, trolling is an important component of the ecosystem.
the Indian i met in real life are rather decent ordinary people, i won't change my impression based on flames here ( ).

Chapter Four, A Worship for Baosheng Dadi( Life Protection Emperor)
21 February 2015

After a bus company visit, we drove to a local temple, the ancestral temple of Basheng Dadi(Life Protection Emperor), a doctor ten centuries ago, now worshipped as a deity.
Baosheng Dadi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In costal China, when it rained, it rained.
Suburban Haicang

A family ancestral temple in Haicang District, Xiamen

Arrived at this temple for Baosheng Dadi, but unfortunately the main temple was closed after 5pm. Only a memorial park beside the temple was open.

Mrs. Bakshi said she would have definitely climb to the top if it hadn't rained. A statue of Baosheng Dadi is on the summit.

Yes, online behaviour quite different from daily one. Plus it's quite interesting to see these flames.

@AndrewJin ever consider doing road trips?

There is too much of hostility between Chinese and Indians here, it is a defence forum after all.

 

[AndrewJin]

@AndrewJin ever consider doing road trips?

Too tired i think.Plus there is enough public transport in China, and driving is pricy to some extent, toll and gas and extra ticket to enter a national park.

@AndrewJin ever consider doing road trips?

Driving in mountainous and high altitude region is only for seasoned local drivers
