My family from ohio celebrated our marriage by buying us amish furniture and a nativity scene to bolt into the wall over our bed. The population of Ohio is 80%+ time displaced ultra catholic german peasants from the 10th century ad.

Our hybrid is due in 5 days, and my wife has already read the riot act to my mother in law. "No sugar water" "Don't overdress him" "Never medicate him" We're not really that worried about the first and last ones, but the second one is likely to be an issue since she points to toddlers in 27 degree weather and remarks that they are not wearing enough. My mother in law helped me put away firewood for approx 4 hours today. She and my father in law (in China right now) might not actually be Chinese given that they have no wish to sit in an apartment all day and rot. Last time they were over they would walk into the bush for hours, collect fiddleheads and generally enjoy nature. Got to say that I really lucked out in the inlaws dept.

Pham Nuwen posted:It's in February, which my wife says is one of the more pleasant times of the year to be there. I guess I'll check what the AQI's looking like before we fly out and see if I need to buy masks. Delhi is hell to me. The sprawl is so bad you can't even go there for a day trip if you lived outside of it. It's just a big disgusting dump and I hate it. LOL. As a tourist, you'll probably just be like "Wow, what the gently caress?" in an amused mood. quote:Yes, I've been completely forbidden from buying my own food while there quote:I'm actually hoping to try gutka paan once. The last wedding we went to, here in the States, had a pile of paan but it had that sweet semi-sticky rolled dough kind of wrapper instead of just a betel leaf; I prefer the leaf-wrapped kind. I can get the betel leaf wrapped stuff here in my city but it's like $1.50 each which sucks. I remember a long time ago I was with my dad and said I wanted a paan after dinner. I wasn't paying attention and the paan guy loaded it up with gutka, and at the time I had never had any experience with tobacco. I don't really care about spiting regular paan, so I stupidly swallowed the tobacco juice. I got so dizzy and sick that my dad had to help me walk back to the hotel, while laughing at me and calling me an idiot. I laid in bed for about an hour on the verge of puking.

We'll probably be eating from relative-recommended places in Delhi and Lucknow, and in Kerala I guess I'll just trust to the biwi's intuition on what places are safe.

Haier posted:I would say December-March are the worst of the worst because it gets cold at night and people burn garbage to keep warm. Like, they will literally burn a pile of trash and stand over it. The AQI at that time is going to be super bad, but Delhi's AQI generally always super bad. The summer is the worst time to go for heat, but the AQI is only like 150-200 in the day, so it's probably the best time for air quality as Delhi can give. Just tried this at home. I'm not pleased with the results.

Haier posted:Chai in India = Black CTC tea (crush, teared, curled tiny balls of tea for maximum caffeine and flavor dispersal) boiled in full cream cow or buffalo milk, and then with a truck bed's worth of sugar. If you ask for a chai, that's what you'll get. The stuff with spices is masala chai, and North Americans were victims of marketing schemes because Indians really don't drink that stuff much, if ever. The only people I knew who wanted spiced tea would drink it without milk, and using it for sore throat Hah, we actually use CTC tea at home too. I didn't know that's what it was, but it's pretty good. I slice ginger into 2 cups water as it comes to boil, then add a three good tablespoons of tea and some lightly crushed saunf and elaichi. After 30 sec or so, I add 2 cups milk and bring it back to a boil. When it foams up, take it off the heat and stir it down, then put it back on and repeat that a few times. Comes out pretty good with a spoonful of sugar in each cup.

Haier posted:I'd pay that for some paan outside India, just for the novelty. "Supari" is the areca nut that turns your mouth red, makes you spit, and is a little similar to caffeine. It's hard and it wears down the teeth if you chew it. Gutka is just a packet of chewing tobacco added on top, since most poor Indians are addicted to it and smoking unfiltered biris. God i'd completely forgotten about biris, those things are loving rough as guts. I went through about three months smoking them because i thoought it made me look cool. I forgot to take a couple out of the bottom of my bag on my way back into Australia, got pulled aside by customs and had to explain over and over again that no it's just tobacco....

I was going to say the exact same as BCR. Kerala and west bengal are great. Rajasthan good as a tourist for like one week (unless youre a blonde girl), then you want to kill everyone. Kashmir and sikkim are nice as well.

I just assume that for these tests the students are handpicked and only select schools are allowed to participate whereas in the west, especially in the states, you have to include every school and every student, even second language learners and special needs.

Lol you just keep doubling down Also in the US the incredible patchwork of different police departments and local cultural differences makes it really hard for people to know how fast they're actually supposed to go. Like a southern speed trap town or a rich Maryland suburb might have cops that pull you over for going 5 over whereas NJ state troopers regularly pull people out of he left lanes on the highway for *only* going 10 over the speed limit like some kind of pussy. That's not even getting into actual speed trap towns where they're just trying to justify citing you for revenue purposes.
