Things you should do when you live in India

1. Get a haircut at Warren Tricomi for 1000 rupees, or about $15. In New York that would cost you $200 or so.

I was just reading a blog written by a friend's daughter who has lived in India and is currently traveling around (now in the Himalayan region). Fascinating place.

I think I bought the baggy pants. Plus a pad lock and chain for my backpack riding on top of buses.
