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 back! :D

Welcome back! (also, it isn't so much that they drive in the wrong lane, it's that the lanes are suggestions every one regards as ridiculous. There is, therefore, no right or wrong lane, just people laughing at the lines on the street. Yes?)

Yay, you're back! *glomp* Looking forward to hearing stories; if this list is anything to go by I'm sure you have some excellent ones.

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.

You went to INDIA? How did I not even KNOW THIS? That's freaking awesome!

Hello again! :D I missed you.

And all cars should have live gardens. It would make them much more pleasant.
