**ABOUT THIS VIDEO**
It's been over 13 months since I came to the US for my Master's. I entered the US first in 2016 as part of the S.N.Bose Scholarship program. There have been many culture shocks that I observed since then, and I thought it would be useful to talk about some of them. Thank you for watching and hoping to hear about your culture shock experiences! :)

P.S. Yes, I shot this video in Mumbai during a vacation ;)
Do you feel like talking to me?

the biggest difference i've noticed is that in India, they treat college students like children with curfews/attendance/dress code etc but in the US they treat college students like fully grown adults.
I’m from the US and it’s interesting to hear the other perspective. Cause I get a culture shock when I go to India
Hey, I am Indian but I have never been to USA but I as much as i have seen through internet, Vlogs and movies I think can guess the cultural shocks from your perspective, let me know if I'm right, These are the differences which I observed through internet.
Good things:-
-Food
-Spiritual
-Architecture/ monuments
-Clothing
Bad things:-
-Less Globalization
-Traffic
-Less Cleanliness
First major cultural shock for me was throwing food away. .. when i first time stepped in US out of airport, we stopped at Dunkin doughnuts on our way home. I ordered a chocolate doughnut along with coffee but the lady gave me plain doughnut. Without even touching it i told her that she gave me the wrong one. She immediately threw first one away in garbage and gave me the one i wanted.
And other shocking thing is use of one time plastic and paper... US use probably 100 times more plastic and paper than India.
@@AbhiChede09 but we don't throw it in the street
@@astoria791 so where does it go.. throwing in dust bin doesn't vanish it
@@AbhiChede09 they actually recycle it bro
@@wolverineiscool7161 one time use plastic.. like thise plastic bags u get in every grocery stores. Thats why India has banned those plastic bags. Only bags with more than 10 micron thickness are allowed.
People in India pay more to eat at Mc D while vegetables are so cheap here.
Amal Dev It is GMO, not real food in USA.
But veg r poisonous now a days bro..
Mc Donald fans justifying...😂😂
Thank god for that!!
Everyone wanted free lunch without cooking.We must learn the value of cooking.From Agriculture to F&B
The best thing abroad is that they truly believe in having a balance between personal and professional life. It's not only work work work or the opposite.
@Thanos Mighty yeah but that's the person's choice. The establishments don't exactly force the students unless it's a big one that has a reputation to uphold. So yeah, it depends on the person.
P.s and i realise that's exactly what you said..oof...
You aren't a student for long. 😄 ...Many Corporations and Universities etc. will try to save money by putting two jobs on you. Someone leaves and they don't hire a replacement, you get that extra work. I see it all the time. If you are good at what you do the company thinks you can always do More!
This is so not true in the US!
@@aprilblossoms4 how is it then?
I guess India has a good work life balance compared to the US!
As an Indian American that grew up in the US, this was super interesting. A lot of the things you mentioned, such as working throughout school, and cooking/cleaning for yourself, seemed so normal to me. I didn’t realize it was so different in India! But it’s very cool to see the contrast of environment.
Yeah that needs to change. But let's not Shame an entire gender.
@Shivani B men always kings
I am amazed at the way I see the younger generation in India. They want ALL the freedom that their counter parts in US enjoy. However the concept of getting their own place, paying their own rent, buying and cooking their own food , doing their own laundry and THEN get the freedom to do whatever they want is completely alien to them. They want Mummy and Daddy to pay for everything but want all the freedom that younger generation has in Umreeka...
@Shivani B Completely agree
It is not about India really, it is about staying away from your parents, except for working.
American students are in huge debt for college, that is why parents put kids to work early in states so they develop a sense of responsibility..... whereas education in India is highly subsidized by the government
True👍
Acute observation
Also India have such huge population and competition that even masters degree or phd holders fails to get decent job that they deserve , India definitely doesn't even have half proper jobs compared to population.
@@exevil2056 extreme population is the hub or like the glacier of all the problem streams in india be it corruption, lifestyle, competitiveness and the list goes on and on........
Teenagers r always high in America 😂
Work in India is also subsidized
Great video! I moved to India from the US for a year (2017-2018) and love your country. I actually prefer your water hoses to our toilet paper, haha. It's really interesting to hear a young person from India talk about what it is like coming to America.
Maggi N that's so sweet❤️ Also, I'm so glad you liked it better than toilet paper😂
Hope you had a great time here Maggi.
You know you're in the wrong country when a burger costs more than a salad.
Ginijkumar Vaishnav well no not really. Fast food Burgers cost less because fast food is just cheap in general. Salads are expensive because they have many fresh, organic ingredients. Organic food, or just food that is good for ur body costs a lot more and u can see that when u go to organic grocery stores. It costs a lot of money compared to your regular Kroger, Walmart, Meijer, Trader Joe, Whole Foods, etc.
@@user-fl1hu1op5u You just composed a nice essay of exactly what I said.
Organic food doesn't have to costly unless the seller wants it to be costly.
Hence, wrong country.
@@ginijbond well yeah but it depends on what country you're in. In America organic food is usually more expensive
even in india, fastfood is cheaper than fruitdish !!
@@mansipatel1
Go to Mcdonald or kfc and then to a fruit shop. See the difference
In india most of our time will be spent on classrooms we don't have time to work our system is totally messed up
True..
One reason behind this too much knowledge sharing.Example you are a computer student, the course started from Atom, EMF, I= V/R and so on.They must teach the core subject and commercial application.
Yeah and those classrooms really teach nothing. Students have to cram all those things just before the exams only. That's why we produce so much unskilled workforce. Our theoretical knowledge is top notch due to cramming but practical knowledge zero.
Yeahhh😫
Indian education is all about rote learning, and puke them all in the answer script. Not much thinking is involved there.
That guy at the back is doing a lot of stretching :P
Over-stretching can lead to muscle sprain.
Hahaha that’s funny
:-) LOL
couple of them actually...lol
Lol
Not cultural shock , but price of internet there also gave shock to me .
My culture shock:
1.No jet spray, people use toilet paper. I do my Indian way.
2. No human resource here. People are totally dependent on electric and metal items.
3. Too much use and throw culture,hence waste generation is too much.
People now use toilet paper everywhere.
people depend on electric items everywhere .
Neither of this is a culture shock lol. You can buy Bidets in America too.
I know, when I went there people used paper plates on daily basis like that’s so much waste
No wonder USA is on the top five most waste generating counties, more than India which has a higher population
@Alter Ego yes,now I am only using my 'lota'😄
For your friends traveling to other places in the USA, prices vary widely across the USA. New York City is on the high end as is Seattle, LA, San Franscico. Texas cities, Dallas and Houston, and Wheeling West Virginia are in the middle of the range. Food prices are lower in suburbs and rural areas than in the city centers where ever you go in the USA.
For living spaces, New York is super expensive vs other places. For example, in 2000, my sister had a two bedroom apartment in the SoHo area of NYC that was 660 square feet for $2500 per month. At the same time, I paid $850 for 1300 square feet in an apartment close to downtown Dallas. Like food, prices per square foot are generally higher in cities than in suburbs or rural/small towns for comparable neighborhoods.
In 2020, my office is in a rented out house (about 4,000 Sq.ft). I believe the rent is about USD500 per month. 😁😁😉 This is a city about 200km away from the capital.
@@freecommentor you believe or it really is 500$ ?
@@TheMartianMan I checked from admin and its just USD340 per month.
Can’t agree with you enough! Came here in 2001 from Chennai to the US to do MS Biology. Huge huge huge cultural shock. So much reminding of my old days here. I was so naive and had no clue what I was getting into but today I am so thankful for my parents to have sent me alone. They are proud and I am proud to be independent.
In India it is not safe to drink tap water we drink it only after boiling it but in New Zealand people directly drink the tap water. This is the thing which I couldn't believe at first.
Same in Singapore too
Yeah it's a shame that India cannot provide safe/clean tap water to it's citizens and people have to rely on filtering systems to clean their own water.
I'm from UK, we drink tap water too, but it's not direct tap water, we have water purifier (RO) in the main water inlet, thus the making the water clean and safe to drink. I have been to the US and Singapore too, it same way there too. [Don't drink direct tap water]
So sad to tell this: In the area I live, many people suffer from a "Chronic Kidney Disease". (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6409411/) Although the reasons are still unknown, many believe it is related to the drinking water.
So noone dares to drink from a tap. Even day labourers use to bring a bottle of drinking water. Personally I buy bottled water (19 litre bottles) which are bottled from sources at safe areas. 🤑🤑😥
bro , in new delhi , india tap water is drinkable
Plus : Excellent infrastructure to promote travel and tourism, Extremely rare electricity outages, Very good disaster management/preparation, Lot of integrity at the consumer level
Minus : Too much of 'replace' instead of repair causing a lot of waste generation, High resource usage (electricity/water etc)
I am an engineer working in railways.
Recently I attended a Road cleaning campaign, there was a doctor present there. When the doctor introduced himself, everybody started clapping.
That is the first time I felt insecure about my job, from then on I kept thinking why I didn't become doctor.
I hate Indian traditions sometimes.
I think it is not tradition but the way of thinking of people here.
I didn't get what tradition is here?? Every field has down and up side. Even doctors are beaten at some place.. What were you expecting? If u want people to clap for you first clap for yourself.
everything has it's own pros and cons
learn to find good in all the things !!
being insecure happens to most of the people !!
Indian culture is totally fucked up.
@@nandhakishor103 it isn't. It's few bunch of people misinterpreting everything! And unfortunately such people are more in number.
Good to know that hardly anything changed for the past 29 years when I first came to US in 1990. I only spent the money brought from India for the first semester from then onwards I paid for the rest of fees myself for the next 3 years and completed dual degree in Masters. Responsibilities and freedom go hand in hand.
How much do you bring?
You speak very well for your age . I myself living in US and already knew all these stuff what you said but I still watched whole video
I worked part time while doing my graduation in Ahmedabad, India. I am proud of myself for doing so.
What type of work u do.... I'm college student at Gandhinagar and I also do some part time work can u sugges me...
A nice reflection with in-depth observation and exp. Enjoyed the video. Yes in college the responsibility that comes with independence can be a blessing and a curse. The importance of self discipline cannot be over looked.
Nice vid. My eyes were on the uncle Ji in the background 😂 Good one to make ppl stay till the end lol

Hi oldo :)
Nice work Soundarya. Love from Tamil Nadu 😎 . I'm also gonna do MS in America 🤗
Any update. Even I wanna do msc in usa
@@jayanthk9632 any update, even i am also want to do
Hi Soundarya,
That's precise information and very nicely narrated. I had been to USA from 1999 to 2005 and I can easily relate to what you said and advised. Well done, keep it up and all the best!
Hi all!
Thanks for watching this video and leaving the comments below! I hope it helped some of you and resonated with some of you. Leaving your home country to enter a foreign one is a huge transition: culturally, educationally and mentally. So I really hope you talk to enough seniors and peers who already went through it before you take the decision.
Also, I recently published a book called "Admitted", aimed at giving you a guidance through every step of getting your dream admit and preparing to study abroad. Check out the video description for more details. I REALLY appreciate all your time watching the videos. :)
Your video is straight from your heart.
Well im not sure whether many people know this but JNU is a lot like this. Its super diverse, the assignments,how profs push students to think, you can attend a course for 4 weeks before chooosing which ones are best for you the trust of professors in their students and so much more. But its the most inexpensive university to study and get a good degree- My fee was ₹900 for masters degree in International Relations.
Soundarya Balasubramani I wish I could speak like you. Very good accent u have.. I have seen a lot many blogs.. wt ur 1 is very different
As I have said above you have really not addressed the real issue people face there. I have seen many countries and lived there for very long. It's not as rosy as you say. You seem very biased towards USA, criticizing Indians like every NRI does..
Hi soundarya!! I just came across your video nd would you mind sharing with me about the scholarship that you mentioned on your video for the US?? Thanks in advance😊
Same assignment culture exists in IITs and that's why they are so good. My BTech(private college) CGPA was 7.4 and my MTech(IIT Kharagpur) CGPA was 9.3. This difference in CGPAs are due to assignments and hands on experience IITs give.
Wtf lol, iit professors sucks and sucks students...
Yes agree with you .. IIT DELHI 8.7 CGPA
In which company you are working now, and what was your m tech branch if you can tell please
LOL Matkas explaining IIT is hilarious
@@mr.rachetphilanthrophist601 CSE
Wow... you’re studying in a private Ivy League... that’s really cool... congrats and good luck
Masters karna is easy abroad
Ooo I didn’t know she was doing her masters... yes it’s easier abroad.. but not IVY leagues... no one can easily get into an Ivy League...
Columbia is not ivy league.getting into leage is easy depends upon your score and luck !! Extremely easy when compared to Indian institutes. !!!!!!
ester y ummm... Columbia is an Ivy League... the acceptance rate for Columbia is 6%.. Columbia is the third most hardest to get into in the US... it’s very competitive.. even with the perfect SAT scores and GPA, your chances are only 11% ... btw, who told you Columbia wasn’t an Ivy League ?
AT Star ya right .. it’s easy like typing a comment on Facebook .. go back your mom is calling you !!
"Small talk" is one of the major culture shocks I've witnessed in the USA.
Really? I small talk all the time with random strangers while just standing in line at a store waiting to be checked out lol . It's normal thing people do ..
Soundarya says people are friendly at USA. Actually speaking, people are friendly almost everywhere. It’s just the way how Americans do small talk that distinguishes from other guys.
@avani ivani Ohh I see , well come here and I'll small talk with ya hahaha😊
@avani ivani Haha thanks 😊
@@kellysuzanne976 I'm from Sri Lanka. Here most people rarely talk with strangers. Even when you see someone you know distantly, (like someone you have met few times, but don't know his name) people don't talk. But here there's a culture of smiling at anyone. We call that treating with a smile. So most foreigners find Sri Lankans are very friendly. (I'm not telling they are not. What I mean is, smile feels friendlier than small talks for most strangers' and that is what we excel at. 😁😁😉)
To summarise it:
In India, people will 100% judge you by your grades and your profession (Atleast this is what I've clearly observed)
For instance : People will give more respect a doctor compare to teacher !!!! :|
Even an accountant or a student of commerce and arts is looked below an engineer or doctor.
And I don't believe any profession or course is less or doesn't require efforts. Any area of study needs equal concentration and dedication to excel it.
@@patriotic190 I'm an engineer... Thus I can relate to this bro
@Jagga Daku ok I agree with you that to get a stable job and a status our parents wanted us to get into engineering or mbbs. Because there weren't much opportunities back then.
But what about now. Even this generation is like that. There are so many opportunities for each and every stream. If you do a commerce with MBA from a reputed institution you are good to go ahead. You can do CA, CS, CWA , Economics. Etc. As the industries and opportunities increase people should be flexible enough to accept any field.
India doesn't have any certification courses that's the reason people don't try something new.
Soon after 10th when someone says that they got into commerce or arts society looks them as criminals or useless. This trend should change.
Ronak Macwan very true
Jagga Daku everyone deserves respect regardless their profession. There shouldn’t be any discrimination. So what if someone is a doctor or an engineer? So what if they have studied a lot? There are people out there who might not have a uni degree but they have gone through extreme hardships in their lives. This mindset in India has to change. Parents want to see their children becoming doctors or engineers like the other jobs aren’t good. I personally know someone who’s got an engineering degree, hasn’t found a job in his field yet and he doesn’t want to do any other work because he’s afraid of what the people will say. He’s afraid of people judging him that he does this job while having an engineering degree.
You should totally change the cover image to include 1M+ views, Soundarya. Not for the vanity metric, but more people are aware of this content through TH-cam's SEO. :) Awareness is the key.
Yes do let us know whats going on in Columbia.
Ur videos are very informative 👍🏻
Genghis DA2 Absolutely! Will soon make one to show you all the campus!
Great video. Ninja Uncle doing the standing asana kinda steals show. There are so many horrible videos with meat-heat Americans explaining culture shock in India, but really this video is just as informative about India as it about America. I'd like to see more.
When people have lot of trust on you, so that subconsciously you'll keep upto the trust , you won't do anything that breaks the trust 🔥
I watched your video before moving to the US and it really helped me out, especially about the fact that you get to choose your classes. Thank you Soundarya!
I love your accent and hair! Thank you for making a wonderful video! This was really informative!
As a Indian who studied in Canada for several years I can relate to some of things you said, although I wish you touched upon some of the darker aspects of studying in a foreign country too, yes people are friendly but there is also a contrast, for example if you'r walking in the street and are in need of some help nobody will bother to really stop and help you, because most of them are mechanical and are always in a hurry, most of the things you have to figure out by yourself which is both good and bad. Also you form a lot of superficial relationships meaning people will try and use you to get what they want and then leave, I guess it happens everywhere but in places like Canada it does happen a lot because so many people from so many countries and even people from the same country.... everyone is in a competitive field and they don't have time to form real meaningful relationships with you.
@THYAGARAJAN T.R. You are correct sir, there is still some humanity left in India, it's very hard to find that in the west as everyone is constantly trying to survive and will get ahead by any means.
I got more shock back in my country with studies and people stare at you all the time

When I went to India it was a culture shock. There were cows all over the roads.
Why I'm watching this when I'm chilling in goa
Lol
I came from India 17 years ago and I can relate, but here is a caveat. Things can seem expensive when you are spending INR in USD, but once you start earning here, things are not so bad after all. For an American who earns and spends USD, things are relatively cheaper than for an Indian who earns and spends INR. The purchasing power in India is a growing problem. Prices for everyday items like meat have increased so much but the salaries have not.
When it comes to people being friendly, I really think you missed out on the whole culture of thinking (might be better for a separate video). The way people think in the U.S is not always the most broad-minded or at least knowledgeable on a global spectrum. When in India, you can still know about surrounding countries, but people in the U.S do love to stick to stereotypes. I do love this video as it hits many intriguing points.
Was looking for this comment, finally someone talking about real stuff
Stereotypes exist in india also... Juust move north to south and vice versa... I moved to bangalore and still trying to adjust
Living here for more than a decade enlightens more about people and how they are merely corporate slaves and extents they go to retain their clout
yep...let me tell you about the real stuff, i returned to India a few months ago after studying many years in Canada. The people there are mechanical and very superficial. Like yes they are friendly but not everyone is friendly, infact in places like Vancouver where there more chinese and asians than Canadians themselves people just tend to mind their own business, won't have the time to help you in the street if you're in need of assistance etc. The truth is that on the one hand life can be very good but almost all the students there have depression one way or the other, people are lonely, mechanical and rather lazy. There are good things too but I just wanted to touch upon some of the darker stuff, also the news doesn't concentrate much on local racial violence and attacks etc
I really liked their classroom culture & doing a part time jobs & paying for doing higher education . Another thing you said doing all you daily chores of your own .
People are friendly but thats about it. They dont have the kind of bond we do
that's true
India me kya bond hai ....Yaha pe bhi sab ander se harami hote hai
Depends on where you go, small towns have them.
Sab andar se harmi aur judgemental hai bond to jhat ke jesa hai
What kind of bond?
It's really very comprehensive way to tell in short time for the student who think about abroad study.... Very nice.... It's very informative.

Beautiful video! I have lived in the US for more than 20 years and I loved this young girl's honest observations. Very matured and very intelligent observations for such a young girl.
Great to learn good things which I know but never think in such way you thought..I really appreciate for your time to make this video.
Really want to know more from you about UW,Madison college culture for a new student for undergrad for Computer Science.
I study in New York since 2016. I would like to add that students here have lots of opportunities from volunteering to working full time. People here respect experience more than ur degree. I have few classmates and they always complain about their time management but in the end all matters for them is that they want experience in the field which they want to pursue. Moreover government here covers all tuition fees for students who have low or middle income. So it’s good at the end.
You're so graceful and beautiful... And obviously intelligent. 🙏🏻😍
See how different our lives are. As a north East Indian moving to Delhi for my Masters is a culture shock
Cultural shock is in every kilometres of india... I don't believe in the topic of people not being friendly in india and they are more friendly abroad. I have lived in 3 cities of india more than year at each city, had been friends with rich /poor my observation is ( world around you is not how world is with you... But it's how you are with world) except few exception s that are there everywhere
@AsiA I. This not true of course there are exceptions everywhere.
So generalizing this is not appropriate.
I have been in the US for more than 5 years now and i amazing friends here, who are well mannered and respect their family, friends and people around them.
The fact is people in US smile or say "hi" to strangers whereas in India people don't even make an eye contact. Indians are rude initially but once you break the ice they are very friendly and very helping whereas Americans don't go beyond the initial "hi".
completely agree ! i was wondering if everyone felt the same way as her.
@@RS-sr6nu so if I don't say hi to strangers I am rude...wow... great logic.
In India when a small town not so prosperous students come to big city they feel the same do part time job give fees to there course independence n all the things. which is different is education classes n timing which is so freaking awesome.Hope Indian education system be the same.
I was gonna say the sameeeee thing.
Sooo true! Nice :)

Hahaha, I know right. Had no clue while shooting!
As a person who was born and raised in the U.S I visit India all the time and I always have a culture shock because everything’s cheaper and the water sprayer for the bathroom always bothers me but I love visiting my home country.
It is nice to know students are permitted to work while they study. In India, students studying in morning /evening college go for work.
The little things are always the most important. Thanks for the video, it was really helpful!
Expenses are economical shock not cultural 😑😑😑😑

I agree with you. However, not all of US is expensive/ holds expensive products. In fact, most of USA doesn't. Only the famous cities and towns, such as Philadelphia, Miami, Los Angeles, and NYC (where you were).
Good video to learn for people going to other countries. I would like to add few more points: Self help (or self service). Following queues, that is first come first serve concept. Adjusting to weather conditions and change in food habits to suit local weather conditions. Respecting others and government rules and law of land.
Thanks for the honest info:)
Ohh you work at salesforce, I'm from Salesforce Ohana as well

I am an Indian-American who came to the US at the age of 27 and put myself thru my B.S in computer science for 5 years. Indians in India and Indians who come to the US on H1b visas have no clue how hard it is for us foreign students to come to the US and put ourselves through university. It was 5 years of survival living hand-to-mouth. My parents were not in a position to help me, in fact they needed my help. Those of you who receive teaching assistantships, research assistantships and fellowships in the US should consider yourselves extremely fortunate.
Soundarya, this was an excellent analysis of what you experienced in the USA. Clearly you are a very sharp person and will go far in life.

I got a seat in Boston University but I couldn't go there even though I wanted ...... As it is way too expensive for me even though I had a scholarship
Ya I also had scholarship from Oxford University but I didn't go because it was expensive when somebody else was already.paying for it.
The reason why people doing customer facing mundane or monotonous jobs in USA seem genuinely cheerful and excited is that during their training or orientation this is drilled down into them that inspite of the nature of your job every interaction you are going to have would be unique and every customer is a new customer. Of course there are many exception to this.
You explained it all so well.
Really appreciate your efforts into making such a well organized video. Kudos. :)

I can kind of resonate with the second point. I mean not country wise but I did get a shock when I got the opportunity to pick my own courses in my university (Flame University) in comparison to the compulsory course pattern we have in high school. But I still hear this from a lot of my friends that they don't get a say in their course structure in their respective undergraduate universities.

Job which is a stable and give great salary; like last year peon salary of RBI was somewhat around 20k so kind cool salary for urgent job requirement. Other wise if u see many small company even big they don't even check your qualifications with that they give multi tasking job with less freedom, high stress and less pay so better to be peon then being Joker. And for more examples when you have more degree you have less chance to get hired by other small company.
@@celastinads4797 it's not easy to become a peon in RBI btw my dad was works in RBI and he takes these interviews it is pretty hard to become a peon in government jobs but in general in other companies peons get lesser than this
Copy paste thesis for PhD degree is not acceptable.
They don't deserve even a peon job
I don't even know what career am gonna choose, let alone my major. I mean I still got two more years, am a sophomore right know.
This is a very informative video for me as I am attending the UC Berkeley summer sessions in a few days time. I really look forward to spending 2 months in the US. Nice to know your perspective regarding the lifestyle in US. Cheers
The assignment culture and attending lectures pattern is way more practical and fruit fetching. Education system is way more yielding
I loved everything you said. Yes I still can't get used to toilet paper....
Your voice made me Keep watching!!
Well said n expressed really well. Thanks a lot!!!💐
All in all its difficult life in USA/west, you have family or not...
Instead in India life is easier if you have Family/wife bcoz all family members support each other very passionately and religiously, there are cons to this but still life becomes easier.... if ur health is bad you famly n friends will support you in all the ways...
Meanwhile, in Mauritius primary, secondary and tertiary education(including PHDs, Master degree) are absolutely free!... even transport are free for educational stuffs..
@Shivani B if it was not worth it, why Mauritius ranked first in the African continent. But, as student if we grant free scholarship in foreign countries.. The Mauritian government impose lots of strict rules.. If we immigrate to the country where govt had funded you.. you will have to return a specific amount of money including taxes.. As, we cant exercise free education here in MUR and invest it in foreign countries.. Thats why, Mauritian are very minimal in European countries.. But our education system is the best so far!
Is it true?
Sorry, but as you mentioned about prices of products but here products are available at low prices also which sometimes are cheaper here compared to India. Umbrella, you can get of little low quality but useful at 1$ from Dollar Tree and good for around 5$ at Walmart. Similarly there are certain products which are not that expensive, like notebooks around 200 pages you can get at 25 cents. So it depends from where you do your purchasing. Vegetables and fruits are expensive here. BTW 4 lb raw chicken breasts you can get at 6$.Yes people are friendly, helpful and motivated towards whatever they do. And even at age more then 50 people work part time here. Like I met a guard he was working part time even having a full time job (he mentioned the reason for this that, they are not good in savings so they try earning more). On the other hand I have installed Jet sprays in my two bathrooms of 5 BHK house . It cost me and my roommates 50 dollars which went 10$ each of us, so yes we are NOT using toilet papers at all :P
Haha, I did not mean you cannot get a meal for less than 10$. You can get it for 2$ as well, I was rather trying to find the average cost of a good. :)
Wonderful analytical info. Thanks a lot...
Good thing I noticed about you, that you are not trying to speak in us accent whereas other Indian tries to do so much.
