    East Indian cuisine gets fairly close to Chinese food. Most of the dishes in western countries are going to be north Indian, which I think really means northwest. Punjabi and Gujarati regions. They’re the wealthier states with a greater number of emigrants. South Indian is a different style as well, but I’m not familiar with it.

    Experiencing East India damn near instantly made me wonder what my country’s tourists/expats look like in comparison to the actual country’s makeup. Just a bit of a surprise that for having a poor international reputation, I feel like it’s a more progressive portion of the country that goes abroad. And we’re still bad? Either my country is even worse than the world thinks, or my people are way too entitled abroad, knowingly or not.
