Well, now that I dont feel too sleepy to write, I'll just point this one this out and I'll be brief AF.

A foreigner; a tourist, cannot see the reality of the place that is foreign to them, unless they stay there for an extended period of time and try to do so. When someone tells me how India is a "great place", I just laugh outright. Like, seriously. How the fuck is my country a so-called "great place", when you haven't even set a foot in my country and seen it as it really is. Sure, we have our fair share to be proud of, but, the cons outweigh the pros. They really do.

...and not just India, but most contries out there. I can't really see the same picture as them, as they just glorify [insert name here], and just seem to forget about reality. For example, people praise America as the greatest country in the world, or atleast, one of the greatest. Fuck no. It's not. At this point, it's far from great. There's something really wrong with americans, atm. Just an example, though.

What I'm saying is, don't just overhype or glorify something, when the real picture is far from it. Look at the negative aspects, too.

Dayne, your guy is probably the first person, who I've heard about, that didn't get a culture shock after visiting India and I don't mean it in a bad way. Most people get a culture shock when visiting a country different than the one they live in. Though, the degree varies with every place. A friend of mine, who used to live in Australia, told me how different was the lifestyle of people there, than from people in India. An australian  will have the same reaction, too, when they come to India. THAT is culture shock; the difference in the culture and lifestyle of the people of different parts of the world.

I just asked a simple question and it ignited some fire in you...and this Narutard of a sensei and fuel to it. Thus, it spiralled into something unrelated. <.<

But, to be honest, I am not proud of my country. At least, not yet. Sure, it is reforming, but it will take a long time before it becomes great again.
