#2 One of the (many) things that surprised me when I went to India 15 years ago: In America, there are rich sections of town, and poor sections. They are often separated by distance. In India, I stayed in a four star hotel. Two blocks away, there were people living in corrugated metal shacks, next to a stream that was essentially an open sewer.
