Only in India...
-Restuarant menus resemble novels, but only have half the options available
- Every drinking straw has a hole in it
- Shop owners say that if they don't stock something then it must be "impossible" or "I think not possible in India"
- You have to use your camping matress in hotels to avoid bruising
- Bicycles are used to carry families, sheep, goats or bags of chickens or gas bottles
- Cricket is allowed to be played in front of the burning ghat (cremation ghat), but photography is not allowed. *in India cricket is a religion too.
- You can enjoy a lassi in a little cafe whilst watching dead bodies being carried past on the way to the Ganges
- Cows are permitted to eat the blessing flowers after they have been offered to the Gods. *In India nothing is wasted.
- Someone decided that it was a nice idea to decorate cow poo with incense and flowers.
- Old men get as excited as kids to have there photo taken
- We are offered drugs in the street by a man as old as your grandpa
- Thousands of people bath in the dirtest water at 10pm in winter just because it is a lunar Eclipse
- On the train you can buy anything: a toothbrush made from a stick, boot pollish, phone battery, screw driver, drill bit set, toy cars, trorch, memory cards, hairbrush, socket set, binoculars, watch, USB, food... EVERYTHING!
- You will be told that the Ganges water is very clean: "it tastes like natural water, its very good, and its chemical free".... serious!
-The barber stops half way through a hair cut and shave to have a chai break and a buiscuit.
