Most Indians love boasting about their Phoren Holiday. The first thing they do upon return is flood Facebook with a zillion pictures clicked with the phoren location as backdrop( like its right our of a Yash Chopra movie). On the contrary, there are few things many Indian do aborad which is never spoken about! We wonder..why?
1. Went in for economy class in a cramped up style
Tried every Jugaad in the book to get an upgrade, didn’t you? 😉
No legroom in economy flights…This will never be mentioned on FB right?
2. Packed in the hotel toiletries and even tea bags and sugar sachets.
“Its harmless…we paid for it right?”
3. Peed in the Hotel Pool
