Bollywood Dancing, Yoga and Wedding

Under opplegget i Jaipur fikk vi mulighet til å gjøre ulike aktiviteter. Blant annet Bollywood-dansing og yoga. Selvfølgelig ble jeg med på begge deler siden jeg er utrolig interessert i å teste ut ulike treningsformer når jeg reiser. Å i tillegg kunne gjøre det i India på et rooftop med utsikt over Jaipur ved solnedgang og soloppgang er overhodet ikke feil.

/ During our time in Jaipur we got the opportunity to do different optional activities. Among others we could do Bollywood dancing and yoga. Of course, I joined both since I’m incredibly interested in testing out various forms of training forms when I travel. Being able to do it on a rooftop with a spectacular view during sunset and sunrise is absolutely worth the while.

Bollywood-dansingen var en kjempeopplevelse. Dansingen var ikke så forferdelig ulik dansingen vi har i Vesten, med unntak av at bevegelsene med armer og ben er mye mer overdrevne. Bollywood-dansing er en stor del av kulturen her i India, særlig i bryllup og i høytider. Det var derfor det var så gøy å prøve det ut!

/ The Bollywood dancing was an awesome experience. The dancing was not so terrible unequal the dancing style we have got in the West, except that the movements of the arms and the legs are much more exaggerated. Bollywood dancing is a big part of the culture here in India, especially at weddings and during holidays. That’s why it was so fun trying it out.

Jeg valgte også å bli med på Yoga klokken seks om morgenen før vi dro videre til landsbyen Tordi. Hjemme gjør jeg pilates og cardio daglig. Siden jeg aldri har prøvd yoga var det viktig for meg å få prøvd dette. Det er vel ingen annen plass i verden det er bedre å gjøre yoga enn i India? Læreren vår var veldig avslappet og la stor vekt på det religiøse og mentale aspektet ved treningsformen.

/ I also chose to join the yoga lesson at six in the morning before we went on to the village of Tordi. Back home I do pilates and cardio daily. Since I’ve never tried yoga before though, it was important for me to have tried this. I guess it’s no better place in the world to do yoga than in India? I liked that our teacher was very relaxed and laid great emphasis on the religious and mental aspects of the training form.

Etter bollywood-dansingen hørte vi plutselig et voldsomt orkester nede ved hotellinngangen. Da var det en parade i gang som forberedte seg til et stort bryllup. Og ja, aldri før har jeg sett et så fargerikt og gjennomført orkester. Til og med hesten var dekorert fra topp til tå. For en avslutning på oppholdet vårt i Jaipur! Videre gikk turen til den indiske landsbygda og en helt annen standard.

/ After the Bollywood-dancing we suddenly heard a very noisy orchestra downstairs at the hotel entrance. Then there was a parade that prepared for a big wedding. And yes, never before have I seen such a colorful and conducted orchestra. Even the horse was decorated from head to toe. What an end to our stay in Jaipur! After, we went to the rural areas of India which had a whole different standard.
