Well, if you want to go somewhere that is a bit different from Canada, I would strongly suggest that you come visit Hong Kong. It is a wonderful city as well as a fantastic central point from which to explore other parts of Asia. Also, there are english translations to almost all signage and a good portion of the population speaks at least some english, so it is very easy to get around. We have one of the most low cost, extensive, easy to use, and efficient public transport systems in the world. Also, we have many sights to see in the city – and outside of the city in the countryside – and that includes lots of ocean activities. We have world class hotels and restaurants as well as all the shopping you can imagine. Furthermore, we have temples and things like that that western tourists seem to like a lot.

Why, in a country of such long traditions and heritages, do we have meaningless, arbitrary names for our states? This is especially so when culturally relevant names actually exist?
An issue closer to my heart is why in the world are UP leaders proposing to name Eastern UP ‘poorvanchal’ ? Is that a newly discovered country with no history and culture? Why not name it Avadh, and Western UP Braj/ Braj Bhoomi? Wouldn’t that be a lot more sensible?
Other Examples:

Uttaranchal- which should really just be Garhwal
Bihar- which should be Magadh
Arunachal Pradesh, which should whatever the people there traditionally call their state.

Is not a snub to the heritages of these regions to name them as if they are mere geographical entities, like ‘new’ countries, which name their states like ‘Western Australia’, ‘Newfoundland‘, ‘North Island’ etc?

We are standing at cultural crossroads today. Our politicians have divided the country in majority-minority and cases. Though your sentiments are worth praising but they will hit the vote bank politics. In such circumstances you need neutral names and that is why they geographically based and will not bring people at loggerheads.
