As I’ve promised I’m going to write my weblog in English from now on. I just hope I won’t get lazy when I’m back ;-)

It is an interesting thing to see how sticking together with other cultures changes you. Ok, you realize that you’ve spent too much time with English guys when you start saying things like “cheers mate” instead of “thanx”. Even things like “tell me” on the phone, the most used Indian phrase “Do one thing, …” are not that bad, but what I’ve realized yesterday was shocking:

When you explain something to an Indian he always shakes his head. It looks almost like saying “No” but it means “OK”. It’s weird and in the beginning it was horrible for me. I had to explain everything 10 times and it seams to me that they still don’t understand what I’m talking about…

Yesterday one of the trainees who arrived one week ago told me that we (a Texas girl and me) are doing the same, shaken our heads to agree in a travel agency. How can I get rid of this again?!?
