Some wonderful things about India

1) Traffic comes to a slow because cows are playing on the road. // 2) Finding a rat in the bathroom, and a tarantula hanging out by the front door. // 3) Eating with your hands, even if you're served mash potatoes. // 4) Seeing any form of precipitation in March is next to a weather phenomenon. // 5) If you need readings for class, you violate copyright laws, and get the book copied at the student center. // 6) If you're sick, you got to the doctor, tell them what drugs you need, and get the prescription filled for free. // 7) People literately hang from buses, rickshaws, and trucks to get from place to place. // 8) Arriving at noon means arriving at 1:30, late, without directions, and soon to find you're the only one who's arrived. // 9) Hindi is the official language, although the majority of people speak one of some 100 other languages. // 10) Over one billion people, Hindu, Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, and Jains live in relative peace in a country the size of the Midwest.
