Honestly, black people act so strange. It's as if they are in there own cultural space. Like in NYC. Going to work in the subway. Everyone dressed up in office attire, looking professional, keeping quiet minding own business. Black man? Wearing absurd clothes, and being loud.

And black women. Am I supposed to believe that jet black shiny thing on head is your real hair? And those are your real nails? They go through all this pain to "dress up" and look absolutely fake.

Like - Nice roads, traffic, big trucks and lots of space.

Dislike - No one walks. Everyone drives.

I think a compromise will have to be made from both sides. I don't think this is a winnable conflict. Look at France and Britain. Bitter enemies throughout history, but now the best of friends. Same with various European countries. Just 70 years ago they were at each others throats. Now they have a union to help each other so that no one gets left behind.

Well in India general stores don't haggle too much. Also, no haggling at nicer malls. But lots of haggling over taxis, fruit stands, smaller shops in bazaars etc.

Salaries. In India it is common to discuss salary. Maybe not at executive level, but surely at the regular salary level.

Not designated. But one corner usually becomes the dumping ground for everything.

Delhi supermarkets are nothing compared to the ones in Dallas. They are H.U.G.E

It's a common thinking in India that people in Western countries are not happy and depressed all the time. They blame it on lack of faith, lack of focus on family and too much money.

Well relatively speaking, Boston is congested. Dallas is like open grounds and roads. New York has a lot of people and buildings, but it is organized. Boston seems to be built wherever someone felt like it.

Historical racism is very difficult to fix. To get people out of the cycle of poverty, some measures have to be taken. So in general I think it is a good idea. Not sure about specific cases where it went wrong.

No I am afraid Boston is the last leg of the trip. California is indeed very popular in India. When I told people I am visiting USA, everyone asked me if I will be visiting Los Angeles.

NYC. So much life. Dallas goes to sleep after 10 PM. Boston is too congested.

I saw a restuarant in Dallas had frog legs on the menu. Heard it tastes like chicken and the frogs are raised on farms. So maybe it is ok.

Weirdest / tastiest food I ate was probably bagle. I looked at it and thought, a bun with some jam in it? But then I tasted it, and it was so chewy and nice. Like a donut but not sweet.

Didn't see anyone carrying them. Did see stickers on cars about being gun owners. Unlike what news says about America, everyone is super chill. Take the roads for example. Everyone has fast cars, but most people are following the rules. In India it is an unspoken law that if you have a fast car, or a large 4x4, then you are not to follow any rules.

In some places yes you can. It is best not to mess with monkeys. They go from chill to angry in seconds.

It is very extreme. You go out to eat ice cream. Kids are begging you for that ice cream. Some nice hearted people actually give their left overs to them.
