Now there's a thread title - "India, the biggest mosh pit of them all."

Yes wwww - those crazy Swiss, my homestay student was 5 minutes late for dinner the other night, I think he's turned into an Aussie! (sorry - just teasing), but seriously how will you cope with 'time pass' and Indian Relative time...?

In a very polite and nice Swiss way I think!

We are a bit slack about time keeping here, but and of all our students the Brazilians have been by far the worst timekeepers and the most laid back - they drive their Swiss friends mad, the poor Swiss kids get to the meeting spot at exactly the right time, and wait for an hour for the Brazilians to rock up.

You gotta do how the romans do...over here I usually get pissed if someone shows up 10 mins too late, but when being abroad I am normally the one that is late ...my inner Mr. Hyde is only active while travelling (or was it Dr. Jeckyll??)

I kind-of expected that the climate etc would speed up the aging process but, having looked 30 even at 50, it had to catch up one day and, yes, it is doing.

A smile from one of the girls in the local shop makes me feel 20 again!
