Home sweet home

Finally touched down in Singapore on sat morning.

India was great, really. The trip was really damn fun and to be honest, I really miss that place. I certainly learnt a lot of new things and it was of a different experience, different cultures, different living habits. It was a real eye-opener. Below is a list of things that highlights India.

1) There are a lot of dummy sets in India. The air-con and heater are visible to the eye in the hotels but most of them do not work.

2) The cars there horn at an average of 3 horns per second.

3) The buses are always fully packed. When I say fully packed, I really mean fully packed. Not a molecule will be allowed between you and another passager. Basically everyone is glued together and thrown into the bus like a sandwich.

4) There is a cow dung or dog dung every 20 steps you take.

5) Everyone always say India is a very hot place. Sorry. Singapore is much hotter.

6) The people there REALLY eat curry for every meal.

7) Road dividers are for show only and vehicles are always able to cross lanes to travel.

8) Every driver there drives like Formula 1 drivers.

9) There is a break of about 7 min in between the movie you watch for you to get some snacks or toilet.

10) They don’t sell beer after 6 pm.

11) The night spots there close around 11.30am.

12) It is very dusty there. Try going out for 20 min and wipe your face with tissue. All black.

13) It never rains for the past 20 odd days I was there.

14) Every households that have Tv will have cable tv and it has 60 odds channels and they include ESPN, star movies and even AXN.

15) Mosquitoes there are of commando caliber and they can bite you through your jeans.

16) We are treated like aliens there and are always stared at wherever we go.

17) The so-called Chinese food there also taste like Indian food.

18) You have to wait an average of 2 and a half hour when you order food in a café or restaurant. Even those so called 3 star hotel.

19) There are a lot of beggars everywhere.

20) Cows are sacred animals and are left wandering around.

21) The scenery in India is really very very beautiful.

22) When you order food in India and when the waiter has checked with the chef that your food is not available, he will come back and say,” I am sorry. But the food you order is not possible.”

23) There is no MacDonald in India. Only Pizza hut and KFC.

24) For guys, everywhere is public toilet.

25) Dogs mating is a very common sight in India.

That’s all I remember for now. I will update when I remember more. If even a chance again, I really hope to go there again.
