"There's a She-Wolf in the Closet..."

Things Indians Love: A Short Experiment in Cultural Insensitivity
(or, feel free to call me a douche for making this list)

10. Jewellery
9. Honking their horns
8. Putting coloured lights on stuff
7. Driving in the wrong lane
6. Decorating their cars (sometimes with LIVE GARDENS)
5. Mangos
4. Elephants
3. Shakira
2. Speed bumps (if speed bumps aren't available, potholes will do)

And the number one thing Indians love: giving me the neck every goddamn time we have a chicken for dinner.

P.S. I'm home. :D

WELCOME HOME! I had like two different dreams that you were back. Is that especially weird?

The one thing on this (not so culturally insensitive because you know that it's not true of all Indians there is just a tendency, and a hilarious one at that, in the broad culture of the area(s) you were in towards the things on this) list that surprised me was Shakira.

Really? XD I hope they were good dreams.

Shakira! The one guy who was taxiing us kept blasting "She Wolf", it was hilarious. The other two Western singers I consistently recognised were Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. AND I LOLED.

They were really nice dreams, until I woke up in a panic from the first one wondering why you hadn't been around and then remembering "Oh yeah. She was very clear about INDIA." It was then hilarious. Nice -> Panic -> Hilarious dreams.

Aww, I'm sorry to have inspired panic. Anyway, I am home safe now!
