What the air tastes like, and smells like (ranges from really gross to really crisp)
How close I come to getting run over by cars, trucks, motorcycles, and donkeys
How many stray dogs there are
What prayer wheels sound like when you spin them (my favorite sound here)
What fresh prayer flags sound like when they flap in the wind (second only to prayer wheels. Crisp is the best word to describe this)
How difficult it is to navigate Indian train websites
How frustrating it is to have money turned down because there is a tiny rip in it that you didn't notice before
How to feel uncomfortable around other white people because you think they have no good reason for being here, then remembering they probably feel the same way about you
The amount of tea drunk on a daily basis
How people here integrate religion into everyday life
How much effort it takes to do seemingly simple things, like buy stamps or do your laundry or tell your host parents you're leaving
How to get to my house from the road (I use the term road loosely. Video coming soon)
