I spent a couple of months working in India a few years back, and there were certainly similarities with that, though I was fortunate enough to make some great friends there who guided me a fair bit - I think @raserrano and @lynncoyle1 both raise excellent points.
1 - There are a handful of locals that really are genuine and welcoming
2 - A lot of tourists are disrespectful asshats that leave a pretty nasty taste in the mouth of anyone who interacts with them.
I agree, they both raise excellent points. Sorry, I can’t help myself...
oneif we stayed here for a seventh month—0 in 6 months (except for a virtual raserrano) is plenty for me sir. I know where I can find one in Australia, though! 👍🏿edit
Ever since we started chatting I keep meaning to tell you.. ok, the world I made a living in between age 18 and 41, Union Electrician, right? Well, on the job, each trade has a nickname—iron workers are iron heads, pipe fitters are pipe fighters, etc. Well, we are known in the construction world as “Sparky’s.” Since the first time I began chatting with you I thought “hey is this dude a Wireman?” Ha!! Always nice to hear from you, sir! We miss your messy kid finger food fights. 👍🏿
