Are you insane or just playing word games?


No William. But it appears that you have been talking nosense, since you
are unable to answer some simple questions.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

What's even sadder is Westerners walkig around India, barefoot, bindied, and
clad in rags, trying to "look like the locals". Yeah, as if. Thing is, the
locals don't have Daddy's AMEX card in their little backpack.
My Indian friends say the locals actually feel sorry for these Westerners,
as they look so poor.

If you have never been to the Third World before, chances are you will
be overwhelmed by the poverty, heat, pollution and scams. India is a
much more difficult destination for an inexperienced traveler than
somewhere like Thailand or Morocco.


I'm always astonished by Europeans in their twenties walking about India
in dark coloured 'combat' shorts and a 'heavy metal' T-shirt, often seen
carrying a huge back-pack, who seem amazed that the locals treat them as a
sort of walking wallet.

On the other hand if you make a small effort to speak a word or two of the
local language and dress in a suitable/acceptable manner (and hire someone
to carry your baggage) you'll find the locals are delighted and that their
English improves beyond all measure.

Which is the original point I was making.

And Indian people who work in service industries don't treat people they
think are poor terribly well.
