What kind of IMer are you?

A recent comment by SeventiesHippy had me wondering - What kind of IMer are you? What brought you to this web-site?

1. I am an Indian national
2. I am married to an Indian national
3. Expatriate - foreigner living in India
4. Old India Hand - those guys and gals who were lucky enough to have travelled to India before the masses, late 60's/70's
5. Regular Traveller to India - no other country fulfills your needs the way India does
6. Regular traveller, not exclusive to India - you've been around, you like India, but there are other places in the world for you
7. Newbie - the ones asking all the questions!
8. Other (please specify)

I realise some of you may belong to more than one group, just post a reply to explain.

I myself am a naive newbie, though I've travelled other places.

Cheers!

Conor.

Though i've been/go to other places in the world (Africa/Europe/Asia),
India seems to be on the 'want-to-go-every-year list'.

Interesting thread/poll

I have traveled to India a couple of times and I am sure that will increase. I am married to a beautiful N.R.I.

I am an irregular traveller in retirement but India and Nepal are my present favourites. In younger days, my job took me between Australia and Sweden over sixteen years with plenty of opportunity for short stops upon the way. One stop was in Delhi in 1981. My very first encounter with the "sub-continent" was a night refueling stop of my BOAC 707 at Karachi in 1969. It's true, there is that scent of the east, dung fire smoke, sweat, spices, dust.......
