I appreciate your enthusiasm but what is it that draws you back? As an
"outsider" not raised in Indian culture (but appreciates the variety of
experiences the world has to offer) it seems to me that Singapore or Munich
would be preferable.
Lived in India and Hong Kong, worn out 4 passports in 6 years traveling
around the world.
Singapore is fun except that it has dictatorial laws against a lot of
things we indians take for granted .. speeding, jaywalking, whatever :)
Munich? I like pork sausages but my family is entirely vegetarian (and my
wife didnt particularly like the smell of boiling pork in hong kong ..
sure, and while I've eaten camel and ostrich in saudi arabia and kangaroo
steaks in australia, I dont know why but I dont like boiling pork either,
roast tastes just fine)
Are you just indulging in a hyperbolic reaction or can you try to explain it
in a way a non-Indian could understand? Is it family? Culture? Cuisine?
Familiarity? Something else?
Combination?
