Hotels in India

Today was such a Sunday. I slept a lot and then Lindsay, Laiah, and I decided to be tourists at the AMAZING hotels in the area. (I'll add a picture another time). We took lots of pictures and I decided this would be a good hang out spot to find a prince considering the rooms start are about $250 a night for the bare minimum.

Considering this is potentially a very boring post... I'll talk about some of the amazing things about India, which can probably be generalized to many non-Western countries.

I love that people are always sitting outside talking to each other. There are always groups of people just enjoying each other's company on the side walks ALL DAY LONG. Everyone takes time in their day and appreciates those around them, it's a very beautiful thing. The human connection is very different here, people touch each other when they talk and speak very closely. There is no apologizing when you accidentally hit someone's foot under the chair. What are people saying sorry for anyway?

People say sorry a lot less here too, and thank you. Should I really be saying thank you for things that are basically common courtesy?

I just think some things make more sense here. I just really appreciate collectivist societies. I like that people just stop in at their neighbor's houses and have a drink and I really like that when one vendor needs change, he just asks the guy next door!
