Mouth & Eyes wide open!
2008
There are some really good reasons why a foreigner like me in India should have to learn to close their opened mouth and wide eyes. Here goes:
1. Bloody hell, the bus will still keep on zooming fast despite going extremely side ways from the bulk of monkey-like humans clinging on the left side of the bus.
2. It’s also a learn skill for most men here to run and jump unto the bus. They were doing it like they have springs on their legs and they can instantly glue themselves onto whatever they can get hold of( usually the bus pole). Imagine spider man trying to catch a bus, that’s how it’s like. Hehe.
3.Men and I’ve yet to see Women( I know they do it too) will simply poo and pee all on the street. The street is the toilet. They don’t have to worry about maintaining hygiene and cleanliness of the toilet because the rain will eventually wash it all away anyway. Why bother! Hehe.
4. You’ll be safe despite being driven into a mad, honking, fast and the sudden death breaking of an Auto. Be cool for once can you? Hehe.
5. Hey, they need to bathe too. Stop gawking! Yea, I’m talking about the communal bath the Indians have at temples. They usually will have a pool where the water is collected. Men are usually found sometimes stripped down to their undies, bathing and washing in the trapped water. At least, they do somehow bathe. Huhu.
and more to come…
