I was in Bangalore, and I have to say, while there was a little culture shock when it came to certain things (my god, the driving!!), I felt like it was a lot like Mexico, though I haven't been there for a while. The biggest thing with the interspersion of bald-faced poverty amidst the more Westernized affluence.

Great food, though, and elephants and monkeys. How you gonna not like that?
