I have not travelled many places in my life but I figure that when you go to a foreign country you have to accept their culture and go with the flow, within reason of course. I took a few pictures of common occurrences that we witnessed in India. Paul and I just chuckled.

Local Gas Station
We were driving along on our scooters taking our lives in our hands (driving is life threatening in India), when Biri said we needed gas. We stopped at this little shack on the side of the road and an old Indian gentleman ran back to his house and came back with a one litre and a two litre water bottle filled with gasoline. We had a chose. We opened the seat to our scooters and filled up. Anyone can be an entrepreneur in India. What a country. Notice in the background of this shot that you can buy some candy and refreshments as well as premium gasoline at this rest stop.

Cappuccino Machine
When we stayed at the Mowgli Hotel in Hampi we had many opportunities for North American modern conveniences. This gentleman is making us a cappuccino in the morning off this plastic lawn chair. I am sure there was a perfectly legitimate reason for doing it this way.

Mowgli Menu
If you have the time to look at this menu closely, you will laugh and have no idea how they came up with these prices. Example: Fried Egg 20.00 rupees // Scrambled Eggs 50.00 rupees. It takes a lot of effort to whip up a scrambled egg. You've got to go with the slow. Just so you know, $1.00 Canadian dollar equals $52 Indian rupees.
