Ukulahleka kwi-NYC kunye neebhayisiki zaseTurkey, izidlo zaseNdiya kunye nemisebenzi yomzimba waseTshayina.
Xa mna kunye namanye amantombazana ethu alahlekileyo ahambahamba ngehlabathi ekhulwini lama-20 kungekho nto ngaphandle kwepakethe emhlane wethu, ndandithandana nomgwaqo ovulekileyo kwaye ndandidla ngokuphila ubomi obungasondli ngonaphakade. Phantse kwiminyaka elishumi kamva kunye nabancinci ababini kwi-tow, into eyinyani kukuba ndiyakwazi ukunamathela kwiindawo zase-US okanye ukhethe ukuhlala. Ukuhlala kufuphi neNew York City kundenza ndive ngathi ndivakatye kwamanye amazwe am intanda (aquka iTurkey, Indiya kunye neTshayina) ngaphandle kokuba aphephe indiza.
Nazi ezinye iincwaba eziyimfihlo kwi-Big Apple ezikunceda ukwanelisa i-wandander while ngisondele kumakhaya.
Hlala
Ukwakhiwa kwe-chic-but-cozy ye-Marmara Park Avenue esanda kuvuleka, ephakathi nendawo inamarobhothi amhlophe. Eli qakala linika i-Turkish ngokucacileyo ukuba ndiziva, nangona iglasi eligubungela ngesandla kunye nensimbi enobumba kunye nezinye izinto eziphathekayo zihlala zivela kwiintlanzi ezinhlanu.
Kodwa ngokwenene ndabuyiselwa eTurkey xa ndandwendwela kwiZiko loLondolozo lwekhaya eliya kwikhaya elithile leminye iimbumba ezithembekileyo kwisixeko. Umgudu we-Savas wakhulela waya kule mibhobho yokuhlamba yaseTurkey, kwaye uchwephetha ngokugqithisileyo aze ahlambulule isikhumba sakho ngelixa ulala phezu kwelitye le-marble yaseTurkey ekhatywayo ekwenzeni i-detoxification process. Qinisekisa ukuzisa isambatho sakho sokuhlamba kuba unyango luquka ukuthulula iibhakethi zamanzi ashushu kunye nomsila phezu kwakho ukusuka entloko ukuya enzwaneni. U-Savas uthi esinye isizathu sokuba uzive luhle emva kokunyanga kwendabuko ye-hammam kukuba ukushisa kunceda ukuhlambulula umzimba wakho weexin.
Amava onke ayenze wandenza ndandiva, kwaye njengokuba ndabuyiselwa eTurkey.
Yidla
Xa e-Indiya ndifumana inqabile yokunwa kwesitrato eselungileyo ebizwa ngokuba yi-bhel (ngokuqhelekileyo eyenziwe ngelayisi ekhukhumekileyo, i-veggies, kunye ne-tamarind sauce). Isixeko saseNew York asinanto yokutya kwiindawo zokudlela zaseNdiya, kodwa eyona nto endiyidlile ngoku kuthiwa ngu-Utsav, igama elithiSanskrit elithi 'umthendeleko,' kwiSithili seTheater.
Nangona sele ijikeleze iminyaka, ibuye ibuye ijonge ngokutsha, imenyu, kunye neluhlu lwewayini. Kungaba nzima ukufumanisa-itholakala kwi-skywalk edibeneyo nezakhiwo ezimbini zaseMidtown kwi-1185 yeSithandathu Avenue, kodwa ingeniso empeleni kwiSitrato se-46 phakathi kweSithandathu kunye neZishumi eziNye-kodwa kulungele ukukhangela ukutya kwayo kunye nokutya okutsha ( entsha ayilona ilizwi endingayisebenzisa ukuchaza ii-Indian restaurants e-New York!).
Umqhubi waseNdiya owaziwayo u-Hari Nayak unikeza izitya eziqhelekileyo zaseNdiya into ekhangayo, njengokungeza i-corn, imango, kunye namanqwanqwa kwi-bhel yendabuko; edamame kwi-samosa; okanye iquinoa kwi-aloo tikki. Ukuba uyayithanda i-spicy, zama i-Chilli Cornish Hen (i-chipotle!) Okanye i-Chicken Chettinaad. Geza phantsi nge-cocktail yokudala njenge-Bengal Tiger (eyenziwe nge-brandy, i-rum emnyama, i-dry rum, i-pineapple kunye ne-cardamom ukunciphisa i-club soda). Imenyu ikhanya kakhulu ekudleni, kodwa kukho isidlo sasemini seentsuku ezisixhenxe ngeveki i-$ 20.95, kunye neeyure ezonwabileyo ngeeyure ezili-10 ze-Indian bar (cinga: I-Bollywood inkukhu tacos).
Phola
Enye yezinto ezandimangalisayo xa ndandwendwela iChina yinto yokuba ukuhamba ngemizimba kunye nokusebenza komzimba kubonakala kukuyinxalenye yenkcubeko yokuhlala kakuhle (ngokuchasene nomoya waseMelika ukulinda de ugula okanye utyhatyelele ukutyelela ochwepheshe kwiyeza).
Ngoko ndiye ndwendwela i-Organic Mama Spa iminyaka emva kokubuya ehambo lwam. I-spa elula encinane yempilo eyenzelwe ngemigaqo ye-Feng Shui engqondweni (amagumbi okunyanga ngamnye abelwe into efana nenkuni, isinyithi, amanzi, umhlaba, okanye umlilo) kwaye ikhona kwi-Allen Street yase-East Side. Kodwa kunjengekhefu lokuphumla phakathi kwedolophu ekhungayo, unikezela ngomzimba ngokusebenzisa iindlela zobuGcisa beShayina kunye ne-skincare eyenziwe kunye nezithako ze-organic and herbal. Amaxabiso abo afaneleke kakhulu xa kuthelekiswa namanye ama-spas kwisixeko (unokufumana umzuzu wokuba u-60 udibanise i-$ 70 kodwa unikeze izaphulelo ezinzulu xa uthenge iiphakheji).
