ginster plantagenet said… - hallo Becky, thanks to befriending me, nice to meet you this way. Your blog is interesting to be a stranger in a strange country and yet culture shocking through what is your new life now.... Can relate to it not for India, but for Thailand and Africa, while I found European countries not mine, which is Germany, also on the culture shock brink.... Ha!
