My first experience in Kolkata, India

A large city in eastern India, where culture and chaos coexist. The exotic atmosphere felt on my first visit. Daily life full of excitement and surprises. The main means of transportation within the city are walking or Uber. A rational choice to avoid traffic jams. There is a metro system, but I didn't use it this time. Anxiety about the crowds and the unfamiliar system. Eggplant dish at "Kasturi". Memorable and exquisite taste. Rich aroma of intertwined spices. A deliciousness that will make you groan. A dish that makes you feel the depth of local cuisine. No Wi-Fi at the airport. Difficult to connect to the Internet immediately after arrival. It is also impossible to purchase a SIM card at the airport. Anxiety about being cut off from access to information. Difficulty of purchasing a local SIM. Extremely brutal. Complicated necessary documents and procedures. The difficult road to establishing a communication environment locally. The biggest obstacle for foreign travelers. Low prices. Water is 40 yen, and a cola is 50 yen. A sense of economy unique to India. Costs that are friendly to budget-minded travelers. Daily life that can be enjoyed on a small budget. Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters. The cafe's Wi-Fi is super fast. A space to soothe tired minds and bodies. The reliability of the internet connection made me cry. A refreshing break during my travels. English is harder to understand than I thought. Contrary to my expectations, communication was difficult. Hindi is everywhere in the city. I feel lonely relying on translation apps. Kolkata, the charm amidst the chaos. It's a high hurdle to get used to, but once you get over it, you'll see the diversity and richness of culture. A special place where challenges and discoveries intersect. #AsiaTravelRecord
