All across the world people are different in the way the eat, sleep, dance, shop, cook, dress, and the list could go on. While I have been away from my home, and definitely my comfort zone, I have been observing. I have been observing actions people do, the way people talk, the way people give money, and the tone in which they talk. Every time I travel its what I do, I try to see something which others cannot see.
Like when I went to New York a few years ago, I wanted an opinion of my own. I watched, I gazed, I looked, and I finally got it. In my opinion, New York is a wonderful site-seeing place, and it has many great wonders. Also, New York is for people with big dreams of acting or being in the spotlight, around every corner I noticed that there is opportunity for fame. Also, the food is amazing there! Pizzas are the best! Still, New York is quite expensive and its hard to make a life there, but for some people its home.
Anyways, in my trip, I noticed many things. I noticed some of the foods which I ate on my trip were tasty, but you can't find these foods any place else. ( I will also be blogging on the food next. :) ) Also, the outfits are beautiful, practically a piece of art, and you can find these outfits in other parts of the world. Still, the outfits from the place, are going to better than any other part of the world, because it originated here, which makes it special. Here are two samples I found online.
On left side the picture is a traditional men's outfit Over right, is a picture of a traditional woman's outfit.
Also, money is a little different here. The money is wagered differently, meaning it has a little bit less value. For example, 1 US dollar, is equivalent to 55.15 rupees, basically 56 rupees. So the money is also a little different, but the way things are priced here it is equivalent to how much everything is priced in America. I can also put a picture of a rupee and dollar. And I'll attach a link so you can see how much difference the money is. Here is the link: http://coinmill.com/INR_USD.html#USD=1.00
Here are pictures of Indian rupees(top), and US dollars

Also, the temperature outside is quite different. The temperature in America all around is quite cool, in some places hot, but overall cool. Here, in India, the temperature is always hot! I remember sweating through this whole trip. I also remember my sisters faces turning red from too much heat! For my sisters, the heat was unbearable. Since they are young and their skin is sensitive, they went on overdrive and burned! The whole time we were outside one of my sisters kept saying,"Can we go in the car now?" But we stayed hydrated and drank water like there was no tomorrow! Even in the rain it was hot! You would expect it to be cold after rain came, but heat was still there! Even in the rain, I kept sweating. This was an amazing trip though and I learned so much. I really am happy I came this year, because it is going to be a while before I come back to India. I am going to really miss my family here! But now there is Skype and Face Time, so I can see them all the time!
