leaving my scooter in the jungle while we spend the day on the beach and it still being there when we go back.
still smile while giving a tip.
having people waving and laughing in the fields as you ride by.
Every one should love animals they are so tasty

I call them tea shops or tea stalls.

And many locals look with suspicion on my habit of frequenting them (how well do those glasses get washes?)...

Had tea from a man-on-a-bike-with-an-urn at the zoo today.

Here are a few:

1. Wake up, have coffee and morning snack while reading 2-3 newspapers, then have a big breakfast, then a big lunch, a nap, then afternoon snack and tea, then dinner. Way too much eating and I never read a newspaper at home.

2. Feed roadside cows.

3. Blow black soot out of my nose many times a day (that is less of a problem now at least in Delhi).

4. Have people touch my feet.

5. Watch TV in a language I don't understand.

I do that all the time... A Bulgarian tear jerker, a Chinese soap opera translated into Thai or a Bollywood movie (I love the obscure channels on our cable system ).. Wifey hates it when I do that.. She actually has to watch what is happening..

If the acting is any good, the meaning comes thru..

Seen in Kerala. Unfortunate last name, considering the typo.

I don't see a typo here ... homoeopathy is how the British would spell it, I believe.

I don't see any typos either. Homoeo is how it's spelled in India.

If you mean Anil, that's pronounced Uh-nil, not how you might be imagining it given your comment regarding last name

What "lity"? The present day India is invaded by Americanism. So that particular spelling is quite normal. If anything, the only "typo" I could find would be in the place name, which should perhaps have been "COLORCODE".

What "last name"?
