1. I have realized why cabbies drive the way they do - It makes perfect sense now
2. There is no way for me to get out of awkwardly holding somebodies hand - You just have to wait it out until they let go because for them, its not awkward. Even if you are standing next to them while they are sitting. They will gladly carry on a conversation with somebody else with your hand attached to theirs until they decide they have had enough.
3. Even though I live and work in a hospital, I am still scared to go to the doctor when I get sick. Even if its more stressful to webMD a malaria diagnosis and wonder if Ill end up with an IV drip in the middle of the night, somebody is dragging me into an office and sitting me down in a chair before Id ever choose to do that on my own. This doesnt hold for the dentist though, hes still my fave.
4. If a rickshaw driver gets his friend to jump in for a ride and said friend is missing his front teeth, sings Bruce Springsteen and Bob Marley and tells you he wants to sell you his incense because he is an aroma therapist, he really means he wants to sell you drugs and hopes to find a way to make it to America. In this case, just pay quickly for the ride and run away.
5. Just because it is socially acceptable to have nose piercings here is enough to rationalize actually getting one for myself since, after all, Im in India and people stare at me anyway so why not add another hole in my head while Im at it. Plus I need to maintain my BAMF street cred.
