Varanasi (2) Pee and Poo

This part 2 for Varanasi.

What is Varanasi? This afternoon I was with my flute teacher and I told him about the challenge to describe Varanasi. During my practice I said pee instead pa (so) (do re mi etc). I thought yes Pee and Poo are also part of Varanasi.

Pee and Poo are not the names of some people but it is something what Indians do anywhere. Every morning when I look out of window to the Ganga I see people washing clothes in the Ganga and I see people pee and poo.

When I walk trough the old town of Varanasi, with his narrow lanes you have to be careful not to put your shoe in the pee and poo of peoples and cows. If you compare Varanasi with Amsterdam. Then Amsterdam is as clean as Singapore. When I walk trough the small lanes it is like walking in a stable, all the time I semll cowshit.

In the morning they try to clean the small lanes, but minutes later the lanes are full of cow shit and human poo and pee.

Indians do it everywhere and at any moment during the day even if there is a crowd they don't mind or have no shame.
