2015印度之行

有幸参加了学校组织的印度交流活动，在这次交流活动中收获多多，不仅仅是在口语方面有了提高，更多的是收获了友谊。当然，印度之行也让我们真正了解了印度的教育方式和丰富的历史文化。

此次印度之行，有太多值得我们回忆……

热情，刚下飞机已经是凌晨12点，一股热浪扑面而来，短时间内难以呼吸，没想到就这样被气候征服了。走出机场已经凌晨1点多，我们的寄宿家庭早已在机场外等候。在这之前我们已经通过社交软件有了初步的认识，所以当他们看见一张张熟悉的面孔从机场走出，他们都激动不已。当我的印度伙伴看见我时，立刻上前接过我的行李，这让我格外感动！他们的热情和这里的气候一样！

信仰，谈起信仰，对于我来说很陌生！更不要谈信仰的力量。当走进他的家庭，首先进入眼球的就是一尊神像 ，也许这就是他们信仰的神吧。在这群印度同学中，都有饮食禁忌，不吃牛肉！甚至其中的几个同学
是素食主义者。但信仰并没有使我们之间的沟通产生隔阂。我们反而从这样一个宗教国家初次感受到了信仰的力量。

在这期间也充满了喜悦。板球是印度最流行的运动，但对于我们来说毫无了解，所以，足球成了我们共同喜爱的运动。当然，我们在学校里就进行了一场中印足球友谊赛！比赛的场地只不过就是一块简易的篮球场而已，但正是在一块篮球场，完成了一场激情的比赛！不过因为客场原因，我们遗憾成为了underdog。

七天的交流，让我最难忘的莫过于在印度度过了生日。也许是缘分，能在印度过生日是我的荣幸。一天最激情的时刻在派对上被掀起，原本内向的中国学生无意中跟随着音乐跳起了热舞，正如大家所说:在中国这怎么可能嗨的起来呢？我们也终于明白印度被称为歌舞之乡的缘由了。

七天的时间不知不觉就过去了，在这七天友谊成为了关键词。总而言之，这是一次难忘的交流活动。

Meaningful Trip

In this summer holiday, two teachers and we 14 students paid a visit to Calcutta, India. It was a memorable trip.We, as delegates from Kunming No.8 High School, went to Birla High School and Sushila Birla High school for a student exchangeprogram. Now, I will talk about my experience.

Because of thedelay of our flight, at the time we arrived at Calcutta,it was already midnight, but our partners, who provided us accommodation and food in India, were stillvery excited to see us, so hospitality is the first impression that Indian people gaveus.

参加学校多年一次的优秀教师与学生表彰盛典

In the following days, we took part in the classes in the local school. The school was divided into 2 parts, Birla High School and SushilaBirla High school, one for boysandanother for girls.Over 3000 students were studying in these two schools. These schools consisted of kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school and senior high school. The classes they took were not only literature, math, chemistry, but also entrepreneurship,yoga, and many other interesting courses. It was a very rare experience for mebecause they were studying the knowledge that I was unfamiliar with. Sometimes I had a hard time understanding what the teachers were talking about, though, but Istill could feel their passion of teaching. In Birla High School, we playedsports almost every day. Even though the weather there was so hot and humid, we still enjoyedplaying sports together. They could play basketball and football very well, and they probably could not show us other aspect that they were expert in, like my partner was a good tennis player, he wanted to take me to a tennis court but to which he did not have a chance. Iloved the game that we played as well, which was called Kawakii(transliteration). There were two teams, Chinese students and Indian students, playing. The rule wasthat each team sent a person one at atime, that person was going to touch as many players as possible in the other team, and the players from another team was going to catch you after you across the mid-line.When we were playing this game, it was one of the best moments throughout the entire Indian trip.After a few days, I had noticed somethingthe schooland studentsthat inspired me. There were so many famous quotations in almostevery hallwayI had been to. One of the quotations said: ‘The best way to predict your future is to create it by yourself.’ This is my favorite one. Another aspectwas the patience of the students. Whenever I did not understand what they said, they would try their best to explain to me until I understand.

Traveling around the city was another amazing experience. On the fifth day of our arrival, the school had arranged a trip around the city for us. We went to a few temples. In those temples, I could see some devout people sitting on the ground and saying something that I did not understand and well-decorated walls and windows. My partner also took me to some very famous tourist attractions, including the Indian Museum, Victoria Memorial, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. In the Indian museum, I saw numerous historic relics; they nearly covered all areas, from human evolution to business development in India. The Victoria Memorial and St. Paul’s Cathedral were both famous for their wonderful constructions.After the trip, I realized that in Indiathe economic inequality wasa huge problem. When I was walking on the streets, I could see a fancy building was built next to a slum. A huge number of people were in rags, and they just slepton the sidewalk, while the wealthydriving a Chryslerpassed by.

The foods in India were absolutely delicious. They eat 4 meals a day. In the morning, there were 2 meals. I remember the second day after I arrived. I woke up in the morning, took a quick shower. My partner’s mother gave me some snacks; I thought that was the breakfast, so I ate all of them just like I always do. At 10 o’clock in the morning, however, my partner’s mother came to me said: ‘the breakfast is served, please come with me, I have prepared a real Indian breakfast for you, I’m sure you will like it.’ At the very moment, I was shocked. I asked: ‘You eat two different meals in the morning?’ She replied: ‘Yes, there are two meals.’ The problem was I had just eaten2hours ago, how couldI eat another meal when my stomach was stuck with food?Nonetheless, I tried some of the tradition Indian breakfastat last, it was actually pretty tasty. Because the host family I went to was vegetarian, every meal they provided had no meat at all and I could not see any sign of vegetable in the meals that they provided, whichwas really odd. Every mealwas mainly potatoes and flour-relatedfood like bread and pizza, etc., but they used different methods to cook. As a result, in every meal the potatoes had a different taste. I had also tasted traditional Indian food, it was delicious, yet I found it very hard to accept that they were used to use their hands to eat, to which I found it very hard to adapt. Nevertheless, my host family was very nice;they had prepared the spoon and forks beforemy arrival.

There is one word in my dictionary to describe this trip to India------wonderful. People here are friendly, hospitable. We hadcreated anever-lastingfriendship with those students and strengthened the connection between our school and theirs.

At the moment we board the plane heading back home, our partners mighthave slept as they were supposed to. The stars had wheeled forth from their daytime hiding places, and one of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest would be our wing tip passing over...

行在加尔各答
王瑞琪

无数次憧憬着的，是一次远行；无数次想象着的，是异国人情；无数次怀念着的，仅是那一个温暖的微笑。行在加尔各答，让这一切都成了现实，成了记忆中一幅幅美好的画卷。

【初到目的地】

经过两个半小时的飞行，飞机降落。潮湿闷热的空气提醒着我，“你已到达加尔各答。”机场内舒缓而欢快的音乐，缓解了我的不安。怀着激动与不安的心情，小心翼翼踏出机场，四处张望，“Rachel！”当目光聚焦在呼唤我的家庭身上时，我便明白：我的加尔各答之行开始了。

【热情的住家】

刚到家，亲爱的阿姨就以自己的方式表达了对我的欢迎：用熏香与蜡烛欢迎我的到来，并且祝福我：“好运永远在你的身边”，随后，叔叔用他温暖的大手郑重地和我握了手，并给了我一个热情的拥抱。我的伙伴ronika与她的弟弟早早就在房间里的小黑板上写上“welcome! ”的字样，让我的内心感到暖暖的。躺在床上，她便与我侃侃而谈，丝毫没有一丝倦意。
为了不让我觉得十分思念我的家，叔叔阿姨还很贴心地带我去了中国餐馆，他们的笑容，他们的言语，让我觉得再没有比这更好的了！

【校内生活】

在我心目中，贝拉学校是一所特别的学校。不仅从幼儿园到高中一应俱全，墙上的插图与警句总是振奋人心。走廊上调皮的小女孩闪着大而亮的眼睛，高中的女生沉稳而又不失气质。各种各样的课程，书目丰富的图书馆，各式各样的体育活动使我目不暇接。令人愉快的用餐课间，同学们的热情将你团团围住，但你却不会感觉到任何一点的难堪，这大概就是加尔各答这所城市独有的热情之火吧。

阅读课

在瑜伽课上，与自己的身体对话；在试穿纱丽的课上，充分领略到了印度传统服饰的魅力与轻柔；在美术课上，享受着绘画的乐趣；在音乐课上学唱加尔各答传统歌曲……一切的一切都已深深印在我的脑海里。

【校外娱乐】

在贝拉学校，周一至周五早8点上课，下午3点放学，学生们有着大量的课后时间，能干自己喜欢的事情。由于我们的到来，再加上有一位同学的生日来临，当天晚上，我们就开起了party,。贴心的小伙伴们为来自中国的寿星购买了专属于印度的特色服饰，在房间里，伴随着音乐，开始跳舞。舞毕了，便坐在沙发上，唱起了生日歌，将生日蛋糕一一分给在场的人，稍作休息，便又开始跳舞。伴随着音乐的节奏，身体开始摇摆，一切烦恼，仿佛都经过这一舞烟消云散。空气中弥漫开的，只有热情与欢乐，在这热情与欢乐中，尽情起舞，让身体与心灵共同狂欢，享受这难得的一刻！

【游览加尔各答】

次日，校方组织我们游览了加尔各答。

坐在大巴车上，歌声不觉于耳，欢快而轻松的吉他乐，配上颇有活力的歌声，整辆车的气氛便由此活跃起来。同学们三三两两坐在一起，或唱歌，或聊天，或吃点东西，一切都是那么其乐融融。

坐在车上，将加尔各答街景一一收入眼底：在草地上旁若无人睡觉的狗、优哉游哉吃草的羊与牛、在天空中自由翱翔的乌鸦与鸽子、在商店里售卖商品的店主、走在街上的人们，都展现出印度独有的风貌与街景，高高低低的房屋，五彩缤纷的颜色，抬头看蔚蓝的天空与洁白如棉絮的云朵，心也跟随着飘扬起来。

而后我们跟随者老师的脚步，踏入了神圣的庙宇。在庙宇中，我看见无数虔诚的教徒在祈祷，无论男女老少，他们的眼睛里纯净得没有一丁点儿尘埃，让我觉得这已经不是普通的庙宇，而是承载着希望的圣殿。是信仰，让这座庙活起来了。

在庙宇的旁边，是印度的母亲河——恒河。她静静地流淌着，记录着这国家的一切，而在河里，可以见到几个正在净身的教徒。他们小心翼翼地捧起河水，向自己的身上浇去，动作极其轻巧，像是怕惊扰了母亲的睡梦……

随后，我们又参观了加尔各答警察博物馆、承载着加尔各答抗争历史的博物馆，这个国家的历史在展馆中，以视频、古老的物件、人物模型、插画等各种形式向我娓娓道来，让我目不暇接……

归国之后，躺在自己床上休息，在睡梦中，我都能回到这个喧嚣但是又充满热情的城市，它像是有着一股魔力，将我的心俘获，让我再不能忘怀。

行在加尔各答，让我感受到了异域的风情与魅力，更让我感受到了人与人之间心心相近的温暖。

别被这个城市的外表所迷惑，其实，这个城市有着一颗温暖的心。

旅行感想
杨那

刚到印度，很慌张，以至于在回家路上的时候没有听到他们说的一句话，当我用疑问，慌张的眼神回应他们时，他们只是说没关系，你先休息，我暗暗松了口气。尽管是第一次见面，我却没有那种陌生的感觉，应该是他们把我当成家人，所以没有隔阂了吧，虽然是和同学一起去，可是单独和他们在一起的时间更长，在当时，他们就是我的依靠，和父母姐妹一样，很安心。

在那的时候，正好赶上他们开家长会，他们带我去见了每一个老师，可有不是说我的事，也听不太懂，很快我就感到烦躁，不经意流露出的一个眼神，他们就马上带我去休息，给我递水，我从来不觉得自己的一个眼神能够引起别人那么多的关注，现在想起，也有些愧疚。

突然换了一个环境，天气，食物，都是那么的不适应，所以才第二天，我就想着回家的日期了，可在最后那天，还是有很多不舍，他们给我准备了很多礼物，甚至还有给我朋友的，我感到有些不好意思了，在去机场的路上，她妈妈一直在问我喜不喜欢印度的东西，好像在做任何一件事的时候，她们都会问我喜不喜欢，好像只要有一点不喜欢他们就会觉得自己没有好好招待我，临近告别，他们也都在说我会想你，不知道说了多少遍，我突然觉得我好爱他们，如同他们爱我一般。

回到家的第一个晚上，没有人睡在身边感觉好不自在，想想当初还因为没有独立的房间而感到失望，还真是好笑，我突然拿起手机给她发了个我好想你，发完之后，心里有些失落，在想着要是这次旅行能够再长一些，那该有多好。

这次特别的旅行，我感觉在遥远的地方，我又有了一个家，又多了一些爱我的人，也多了一些我爱的，我所思念的人，这是一次心与心的旅程，我想我以后一定会再去一次加尔各答，不为别的，只是为了去看看我的家人。

印度之行感悟
2015年7月18日——2015年7月26日

很荣幸能够代表学校到印度加尔各答的贝拉中学进行为期一周的访问交流。

在我们所有人的印象中印度这个国家都十分的神秘以及特别。

印度，你只要见一眼就永远也忘不了，因为它同世界其它地方都不一样。我既感慨于印度悠久灿烂的文化，也感慨于印度宗教习俗的繁杂，更感慨于其传统色彩与工业文明交汇混杂的神秘气息。

刚下飞机，就感受到了一股热浪袭来，皮肤粘乎乎的。本以为天气会十分热，但在那儿的一个星期还算好，伴随着雨水的加尔各答，温度不算太高。

对城市的印象

加尔各答整座城市都充满了一股浓浓的历史气息，没有宽阔的街道，没有高楼大厦，但每一角落都似乎在诉说着这个城市的历史。

对贝拉中学的印象

在我的脑海中，似乎每一所学校都会有一个大大的运动场，篮球场、跑道、甚至足球场……

但这些贝拉中学并没有，有的只是三栋并不算太高的淡蓝色教学楼紧紧地挨在一起。若不是印度的partner告诉我，我以为自己到了一个小区呢。

无论是小学生，还是中学生，每一个人脸上都流露着笑容，每一个人都会十分热情的向我们打招呼，主动和我们聊天，主动告诉我们一些有关印度的事或是向我们了解中国。总之，她们的学习生活很轻松，很快乐。他们很享受在学校的时光。

对印度宗教的印象

如果没有真正感受过，你无法体会每一个印度人对自己所信仰的宗教的虔诚。街道上随处可以的宗教寺庙以及它们的朝拜者，每一个人都带着最虔诚最神圣的心去朝拜。当他们问道，你信奉什么教时，我说没有，他们都很惊讶地看着我，因为他们觉得这很不可思议。在一些地区，街上的行人路过一座神庙，便会停下来，转身跨进庙门，举手击几下吊着的小铜钟，然后在一个容器里放一些钱，接着双手合十，闭上眼睛，祈祷片刻。之后再继续赶路。前边若再遇到一座神庙，又会重复一番。

或许这会是我人生中唯一一次去到那个充满神秘色彩的国度。

每一次旅行都会有着不同的感受，但这次的印度之行对心灵的震撼是前所未有的。这样心灵的洗礼或许不会再有第二次了。
