The People.

There are so many things to love India but after doing some thinking I have a clear favorite- the people. I have met so many cool folks- many of them strangers- during my time here and I don't think I've ever traveled somewhere with as much hospitality as I've found in India. Granted, my experiences have mainly been limited to the southern part of the country but it's hard to beat the kindness of the folks I've met here. I can't wait for my next visit to see my old friends again and make new ones too. There is so much to learn and see in India and the best way to do it is to make friends with the people who live there. Seeing a country through a 'localite's' (a term folks use over here) eyes is the most authentic and insightful way to see a place- I highly recommend that any travelers to India get outside the tourist bubble as often as possible so they can see how real people live and flourish here. Oh, and I also recommend getting at least one village dosa :)
