Nowadays, a video of a solo traveler named Maya Ray is doing the rounds on social media. He did a solo trip across India and based on his experiences, he told five such things which really surprised him.
Those 5 things that surprised a foreign tourist
Maya tells that the people of India are very friendly. They are always ready to help; If you ever get into trouble, someone here will definitely come forward to help you. The most surprising thing for Maya was that people almost everywhere in India not only understand English but also speak it well. Due to this, tasks like ordering food, catching a bus or train became child’s play for them.
It is also common to ask personal questions here
In Western culture, it is often considered awkward to ask someone about their age or income; However, Maya liked the straightforwardness of the people in India. Here, people ask questions about marriage and income without hesitation—a cultural trait he described as an interesting change. This foreign tourist also observed that the domestic tourism sector in India is very strong. He said that Indian people travel in large numbers to see the beauty of their own country.
