3. thank you

I'm one of those obnoxious people who want to know what everything means culturally, and often there aren't people who are willing to answer my questions.

Thanks for sharing.

My brother went to northern India this past summer. He said there was marijuana growing wild all over the place near the farm he stayed at.

21. Good gracious, I love the colors. Indians sure know how to dress up.

If they saw an Anglo wedding for the first time, they would probably wonder who died. That British guy (2nd to last pic), for example, could be going to a wedding, a funeral or a meeting at the bank.
