There are no monkeys in Kolkata

There are many things that are different than expected. The long lasting effects of being ruled by the Brits are apparent everywhere -- the constant drinking of tea, the ever-present sweater vests, the love of cricket. And it is nothing like Bollywood would have you believe. Some day we can all visit, but we'll go to Mumbai.

wait, the ever present sweater vests? um, say what?? why can't there be monkeys in sweater vests? that would be much cooler. I understand the constant drinking of tea though. I don't understand why everyone isn't constantly drinking tea!!

I can't wait for us all to go to mumbai. maybe when things have settled down a bit though...
