Keeping Life Interesting

Well, I've been thinking of all the unique things that I'm discovering here in India. They are taking some getting used...and remembering to just smile:) I thought I'd list a few...
** Why drive a car when your family of five can ride in a green and yellow rickshaw (baby on lap) to go anywhere in the city! **Why use lanes when everyone can just mash up right next to each other in the road and at signal lights. Actually i've been told traffic would be much worse if people actually used lanes and followed driving rules!
**Why buy a $5 can of Ragu (really!) when you can just use the little Italian spice packets that came with your Dominos Pizza to jazz up that can of tomato sauce--it's actually pretty good:)
**We are buying a minivan--the only one on the market-- and it comes with (you can't opt out!) pink and purple racing stripes on the side! Really increases resale value too:)--for real!

**Did you know that American accents are really hard to understand in other countries that speak english? Try adding a mix of Texas and Louisiana accent to that and you'll be repeating yourself over and over:) Brian just uses an Indian accent and they understand him:)
*Why buy tyson frozen chicken breasts when you can go to your local chicken butcher, pick out your favorite chick (live ofcourse) and leave with skinned chicken parts in about five minutes? Smells delicious!:)
**And last, but not least, why have a boring door bell when you can have "THE" doorbell that plays a different "techno" song everytime it's pushed! Got- to- have it!:) oh, and our water purifier plays music while it pours as well.
There are many more differences--good and bad--but i'll save more for later. These just make me laugh.
