Only in India...

We've only been here a little over a month and have found some rather odd things we need to get used to.  My major beef (pun intended) with living here is I miss eating red meat.  Because of the Hindu religion, cows are sacred and allowed to roam freely.   Humans are to respect them.  Same goes for monkey and rats!

Only in India...
McDonald's doesn't serve beef.  I really don't see what the problem is.

Only in India...
Americans want to be tan.  Indians want to be white.

Only in India...
You can find yourself a bride or groom according to your specifications.  


Only in India...
You can find a loved one that may have gone missing months ago.


And last but not least....Delhi was awarded to host the CommonWealth Games 7 years ago.  S-E-V-E-N Y-E-A-R-S ago!!!  It could have been an amazing opportunity for them to shine.  But no, the Games are scheduled to begin in less than 2 weeks and there is still construction being done, rubbish and debris lining the streets, homeless people sleeping and pissing in the streets, not to mention the stadiums in which the Games are to be played in aren't even safety approved yet.  They blame the monsoon season on delaying construction....as if this is the first year they didn't predict a monsoon season.  It's the same time frame every year folks!  Plan for it, you knew it was coming.  It should have been completed a year ago.  Wow India, you are so silly.  Indians are really good at ruining their own reputation.


Only in India...

Crap
        

Crap
  


More crap
     


The main pedestrian bridge to the main stadium collapses.
No wonder some athletes refuse to come!
