I agree with Arvind and would also like to have answers. I find it more comfortable to sit on a chair instead cross legged on the ground. When spending the night in the Dak Bungalow one used a small mug (I believe this was called a Lotha or a word that sounded something like that) and took cold water out of a Bucket in order to have a bath. Quite an experience. Chinese eat with chopsticks. I would go hungry if I followed the Chinese. I prefer to eat with a spoon, fork and knife. Each one has his/her own likes and dislikes. Joyce Munro -----Original Message----- from Denise Hughes Weston I'd like to put my oar in here (univited but never mind). The only thing I can read into Arvind's message is that the Brits in India were rather silly not to have adopted the Indian way of living, given the climate. ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to INDIA-BRITISH-RAJ-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message __________ NOD32 3194 (20080617) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com __________ NOD32 3194 (20080617) Information __________ This message was checked by NOD32 antivirus system. http://www.eset.com _____ I am using the free version of SPAMfighter for private users.
