Now there are thousands of "food bloggers" on the Internet, but there is an Internet celebrity who has broken new ground, that is, Liu Yong, who eats Indian snacks with "clean and hygienic".
His appearance has made more people understand "Indian cuisine", and netizens often joke that he eats "chemical element table". In addition to tasting Indian snacks, Liu Yong also achieved an achievement - bathing in the Ganges River in India and drinking Ganges water, which made him successfully burst out of the circle.
The Ganges is India's holy river, the mother river, and once the cradle of millennial civilization, but now it is inseparable from words such as "pollution, dirt, garbage, germs" and so on.
Because of this, there are very few foreigners who dare to bathe in the Ganges River in India, and most of them are locals bathing in the Ganges.
But recently, there is also an Internet celebrity young lady in Japan who bathed in the water of the Ganges, which aroused a lot of attention and discussion on Twitter.
The 22-year-old Japanese lady, Megumiko, is a travel blogger who often travels to India because she likes Southeast Asian culture.
But this time, she went off the beaten path and decided to go to the Ganges to challenge the Indian bathing ritual, and recorded the whole process on video.
This time she is not only as simple as entering the water, but also wants to deeply feel the bathing ritual, so the whole person is completely immersed in the water to wash her face, and the result is...
On the same day, Keiko arrived at the Ganges at 6 a.m., where many local residents had gathered, men taking off their shirts to enter the water, and women dressed in traditional dress saris. There are also many fishing boats in the river, but this does not affect people's enthusiasm for bathing.
However, before going into the water, the camera still swept to the situation by the river, there were many candles and tributes on the ground, and people were washing clothes. At the same time, the garbage and muddy river water on the ground mixed together, looking dirty and messy.
And the Ganges water is also visible to the naked eye turbid and unclean, this color is almost the same as muddy water. But Keiko was determined to experience bathing culture, so she continued to walk towards the river without changing her face, even with some expectations.
Standing in the water, Keiko learned the locals to pray with their hands together, and then according to Indian customs, the whole person was completely immersed in the water with a bang, and soaked in the water back and forth three times. However, she was also worried about bacteria in the Ganges water, and deliberately pinched her nose when she entered the water.
After being immersed in the water, the young lady completely let go of herself, and in order to show sincerity, she directly held the Ganges water and washed her face several times, feeling that the locals were dumbfounded.
But water still entered her mouth in the process, and Keiko quickly spit it out. After all, not everyone has Liu Yong's "super physique", there are too many germs in the Ganges water, and accidentally drinking it will really have serious consequences...
And she didn't exaggerate the whole bathing process, because the Indians around the video did exactly that. The reason why Indians like to bathe in the Ganges is because, in the local saying, the Ganges cleanses people of all their sins.
Ganges said: I have endured too much... Not to mention washing away your sins, I am not clean myself now.
Although Keiko pinched her nose when she entered the water, it was inevitable that her eyes, nose, and mouth would enter the water. She said frankly that the Ganges water smelled very salty, and it smelled like a stinky rat...
After Keiko returned to the shore, her eyes were tingling when she entered the water, so her friend who was traveling with her quickly took out mineral water to wash her face. At this time, she already felt a chill in her body and was slightly unwell.
As a result, she soon paid the price for "underestimating" the water of the Ganges.
Keiko then sent a Twitter message, admitting that Ganges water is not suitable for washing her face because her nose accidentally inhaled Ganges water, and now it has begun to ache, and even the pain is still moving to the inside of her throat.
But this was just the beginning, and after a while, Keiko updated Twitter again, saying that she had fever, sore throat, runny nose and other symptoms that night, and although the fever subsided two days later, her throat still hurt a little.
And her behavior has attracted some criticism, some people think she is very reckless, and some netizens bluntly said: "Are you serious about doing this?" ”
So Keiko explained that in fact, she has lived in India for a long time, experienced food poisoning many times, and swam in the sea water with feces, so her immunity level is already very high, so she dares to go to the Ganges to bathe, please ordinary people do not imitate.
So why are locals bathing in the Ganges completely fine, while foreign tourists react so much?
It is because Indians have been in this environment for a long time, and the body has become immune to bacteria in the river, while foreigners are easily infected with germs, which is the so-called "water and soil".
However, some Indian netizens said that even if Indians themselves may be "dissatisfied" by the Ganges water, most of the people who go there to bathe are middle-aged and elderly, and some people usually never go to the vicinity, after all, the river flows in the "periodic table", and people with a little worse physique can't carry it.
In fact, the Ganges River used to be a very clear "holy river", but now it has become "poisonous water" is related to the random discharge of human sewage and industrial wastewater, and it is also inseparable from religion.
During religious festivals in India, 70 million believers are welcomed near the Ganges, believing that the water of the Ganges can wash away their sins, so they gather here to bathe, sacrifice, and leave a lot of garbage and sacrifices, which exacerbates the pollution level of the Ganges.
In addition, the Indians would burn the bodies on the banks of the Ganges and scatter the ashes of the dead into the river, because they believed that this would bring salvation to the dead. Even sometimes uncremated bodies are thrown directly into the river, so it is not for nothing that some people say that the Ganges water is "corpse water".
And because a large amount of human sewage and excretion flows into the Ganges, the amount of E. coli in the water of the Ganges is staggering. According to the test results, the E. coli content in the upper reaches of the Ganges River is 100 times higher than the normal standard.
Therefore, the pollution of the Ganges River is far beyond everyone's imagination, if you drink Ganges water, don't think that it is just fever, diarrhea is as simple, people with poor immunity may also be infected with other germs (so look at Liu Yong's physique is really non-human).
In addition, everyone goes out to play the same, many risky things should not be easily challenged, after all, blind confidence in their own body, it is likely to end up with Keiko...
