Things no one warns you about before you go to India but will define your experience there anyway:
Cars play songs when they are backing up instead of the beep-beep-beep of cars backing up in most other countries.
It is not considered rude to answer your cell phone in the middle of class, conversation, or any other activity.
Everyone yells, applauds, whistles, and walks around at the movies. Every movie is like an American midnight movie.
Tea stalls are male dominated territory.
People are really into pictures of white babies and cute animals and Anne Geddes type shit, regardless of their economic status or level of education.
The thing that makes Eastern toilets weird is that your shit makes an animal like pat-pat sound on the bottom of the toilet because of the absence of water. The only thing separating human shit from animal shit is pooping into water. Otherwise it looks and sounds exactly the same.
