After a week in India guided by our new friend Anuj, I have learned a few things;
- Might is right.
- IST = Indian stretchable time.
- Negotiate hard!
- Air con is my new best friend.
- Ignoring people is not always rude.
- Service in India is a big part of life, everyone is really keen to help. Tip everyone who does anything for you.
- Walking out in front of what looks like 9 lanes of traffic is fine. They will avoid you.
- I dont actually need English builder tea to survive!
- Most people in India are very friendly and want to talk to you. You get a feel for those who want something and you can apply lesson 5 above.
- I can't shuffle a deck of cards to save my life.
- Every day is curry day :D
- Singham is awesome.
- Cows, dogs, monkeys, camels, people, cars, busses, mopeds, tuk tuks, rikshaws can all be in the road at the same time.
- Some kids in Karauli are playing Metal Slug on a beat up old arcade machine :P
- There is no limit to the number of people and/ or items which you can carry about your vehicle or on your head.
- I can live for a week with no internet and just half of what I actually brought to India.
- Tandoori chicken doesnt have to cost £15.
- You can get to a cinema by approaching a non English speaking tuk tuk driver, showing him a picture of the inside of a cinema, quoting the name of a Bollywood star and showing him your best tiger claw.
I approve of number 11 :)
