Travel Info Let me start with I am not trying to criticize only understand. I was in India this summer and I had to get used to a few things for one my lack of personal space when talking to people especially of the same sex they get very close to you. In line you can actually feel the person behind you. And while I was in class, I was studying abroad; a friend of mine took my bottle of water and started drinking. I don鈥檛 understand why American culture is so separate so please don鈥檛 ask me to explain but I was wondering if any Indians knew why people get so friendly and close do fast. i am not trying to say one is better than the other i am just curious. it did make me feel uncomfortable at first but I got used to it
