what i like.

Tangy dahi yogurt

Everybody here thinks coffee should be drunk milky and very sweet

Three supermarkets, a pharmacy, and various produce stands within walking distance of my home

My kids never complain about the dirt

Bold, hardy tropical plants

What I don’t like

Learning that fast food here is, in fact, made with MSG

Bumper to bumper traffic at all hours of the day

Watching my children inhale exhaust fumes

Going to multiple supermarkets a week and never finding everything I need

Looking straight into the eyes of a child beggar and knowing they are exploited
