It may be absurd that I want to talk about foreigners in India when in fact I am a foreigner. However, the simple fact that I no longer require toilet paper gives me a honorary citizenship to this country called India. First of all, I love foreigners. I feel safe when I see alot of them at a place where I know no one. I talk to alot of them as I travel alone. I actually relate to their frustration and love for India. BUT... I think everyone saw a BUT coming up.. BUT... really? really? reeeeaaaaalllllyyyy???? Ass always, here's my list.
1. Clothes in India: tube top with hot shorts in a Hindu town of Hampi? Skimpy tank tops with mini skirt? No shirts around the town???? There are posters around certain towns where they ask foreigners to dress appropriately. I've seen Indians' heads turning around 180 degrees with their eyes popping out with certain outfits. Puleeeeaze.. Have some respect for India!
2. Yelling at Indians in their native language: Okay, I get it, India makes you mad but do you really need to scream at them in your own language over 5 to 10 rupees? Indians just think you're a lunatic. In one incident, Indians told some foreigners not to come back to India. They said(in broken English) "This is India, it's my country, you go back to yours and never come back". That's just... sad...
3. Massive public display of affection in public: Yes, You are in love. That's cool but there's no need for frenchie in the middle of town. That won't even be cool in the middle of Philadelphia so why here? Maybe India just gets your blood boil and you get turned on. I don't know but please do private things in your own privacy.
Not all foreigners behave like these. Of course it's only maybe 10% of those who come to India. India will always be India. India won't change its ways for us, the foreigners. so Learn to live with it!
That's ridiculous. I think any traveler should research where they're going ahead of time and act appropriately.
