Top 10 Lessons Learned From India

10.White lines designating lanes on the roads mean absolutely NOTHING.
9. Everything tastes better with buffalo milk -- except corn flakes.
8. Don't accept the first price a merchant gives you for anything. Simply respond with a disgusted look on your face and say "Baraber Bathow!" and pay the lower price.
7. An 80-rupee haircut is a great deal, but the power may go out once or twice while your sideburns are being trimmed.
6. Stray dogs can be friendly ... at a distance.
5. Seaside property has breathtaking views but for the sake of your nose, try not to take any breaths.
4. Coca-cola, Lay's and Domino's may seem like familiar brands but they taste like nothing you find in the US.
3. The Jutti Chupai Indian wedding game can get a lot more violent in India than it ever is in the US.
2. Bollywood entertainment is considered beneath Bombay's most elite, but at the same time unifies the many diversified castes/cultures of India.
1. Riding a moped in traffic requires a great amount of maneuvering and skill... and wearing a helmet is pretty much... well... futile.
