Culture Shock
Cultures are different. Crossing states, crossing borders, or crossing oceans… you’re always going to witness the locals doing something that is slightly — or majorly — different from what you’re used to. India is no different. Whether it’s when they pick their nose mid-conversation, eat with their hands, drive on the left side of the road, or bobble their heads, it’s different.
