I think this is fun. I will start a number and “side-series” and see where they head.
Today’s series is: “Things to avoid/not do in America especially if you are from India and your taste matches mine and you are 5 feet tall or above”. Since this is my series, I have the right to name them what I want.
1) Do not walk. Drive! – Please, even if it sounds like the sanest thing to do, do not walk in this country (disclaimer: This is for the average American location. Not New York City). You do so at your own risk, as I discovered yesterday.
On a lazy Sunday afternoon who wants to cook? So the Mr and I decided to go get some grub from a place that was apparently 200 yards away (thank you google maps!). And so we walked. The footpath (the sidewalk as it is called in these parts) narrowed and finally becoming non-existant. Soon we had to walk on a dirt path ok. (gulp), ditch. Yes, ditch with some serious clay that stuck to my brand new shoes. We had a tough time steadying ourselves from the wind that almost blew us away everytime a vehicle passed, not to mention the quizzical looks on the face of the drivers. Are those people walking on their OWN TWO FEET or is that a mirage from all the Texas heat? Anyway you get the picture. We walked and never got anywhere and of course we were murderously hungry. Had to go back home, take the car out and get a meal eventually.
So, no walking please.
2) Avoid root beer – As exotic as it sounds all it is, is Iodex stirred into carbonated water with very little sugar. I discovered this yesterday, after the grand walk. Worse still, none of my aches and pains went away.
3) Avoid grapefruit juice – If like me you thought it was grape juice, you are forgiven. If I had paid any attention to the colour of the drink, I would have been forgiven too. But alas! It’s the bitterest most horrible drink on earth (along with root beer of course!). It does’nt DESERVE to be pink in colour
This list is bound to expand and I will delight you with all the information.
As always>> You’re welcome.

hahahahahah...funny....what made you drink something which is named 'root beer'??
Thanks ya! I told you - Root beer sounded exotic. Like something those Enid Blyton kids would drink in the country, next to a caravan. What to do?
I thought they drank ginger ale :)
Don't be nitpicky. This is "imagination world".
you are giving a bad name to root beer....
btw Iodex smelling give you a high...did root beer do that to you too? ;)
@ Nach: There are some awesome Texas margaritas for the high. I really wish I did'nt have to go through the Iodex :-(...and yes... no high. Not even a tiny bit.
