- Stop walking on the "right" side of the road
- Stop saying "Hi, how are you today? " to every random person you meet
- Stop waiting for the cars to go by unless you want to be stranded on the less greener side forever
- Resist the reflex to say "Excuse me"-- instead relearn the Twinkle Toes dance to side step people/cars who think they can walk straight through you like the ghost of Nearly Headless Nick
- Keep Odomos at hand unless you want the mosquito population in Mumbai and a red rash on your skin to flourish
- Enjoy the bumpy roller coaster rides sans seat belts in an auto-rickshaw down the potholed roads
- Stop taking out your debit card to swipe for every single purchase, and start haggling for change in paper money once again
- Realize the fact that you CANNOT buy almost everything in the world on Amazon
- Get used to the absence of an Android phone (with GPS and Angry Birds) while traveling to new places and rediscover the joy of obtaining (wrong?!) directions from locals, going around lost in circles and ending up at totally unexpected destinations
- Jet lag is a surprisingly good excuse, use it!
You're all set! :P
