None that I have seen. I just think they were just being polite.

Quite a lot of it might hold true for people of Indian origin and born and brought up outside India. I moved to UK 20 years ago and also know many people who have migrated and visit India often and never have these issues. Also it is true that there are no stray dogs in UK. Are there stray dogs in US?

Ah, poor Rick... the gut microbiome is no joke - you can fall mentally (yep) and physically sick ... that too long term... if you mess with bacteria in the food. Including several inflammation induced cancers later on in life. Street food is a no no until you've been in the country for a while, even then it's best to take it slow. Also, one of the biggest reasons for gut issues is that Indian food has more fibre than western food in general. And guess what - some of the dormant bacteria love fibre and overbreed. Quite simple - don't increase fibre content so quickly. Pro tip: Take probiotics starting two weeks before your trip and keep it going for a month after you're back.

The tip culture in US is broken anyways and Americans spread it (with good intentions ofcourse) when they travel thinking it’s ok to do so.

DO NOT TIP more than the culture allows you to. Its bad culture and its forcing others to pay more eventually. Its a complete no no. Be a roman in Rome please folks.

I have lived out of India for a verrrrrrry long time now and I still drink the regular water and have had no problems. In fact, I purposely drink regular tap water so I can keep up my immunity!

Related to Tips.. it is actually a thing... many hotels and restaurants in touristy places will not treat Indians with respect and only appreciate Foreigners in their places because of the tip. Also some places are there where only forigners are preferred because they charge insane amount from them and cannot be afforded by middle class indians.. The tip you give cannot be afforded by us and so they only serve foreigners and also rip them. So it hurts us as Indians when they give huge tip outside the range and because of that we are not treated by them in the same way.

TBH, I havent .. may be amongst student community who just traveled for studying and went back :D wannabes :D
We have been always called out for noticing everything new and missing the city the way it was.. the infrastructure development seems crazy in India to us..
not remembering how to watch out while crossing a road,
How we get overwhelmed by the crowd when we are part of it..
the craze for Indian food and the nostalgia
the inflation hitting us heard.. Everything seems so expensive .. we remember rates from our times...
Shopping like crazy because duh.. who wouldnt !
And ya lot of cultural shocks !! Believe it or not..

Who shops at Zara or H&M when in India??
Not an NRI.. who has lived and knows what Indian cotton's value and how import taxes and branding makes it overpriced
What does a typical NRi do is very differnent from this video.. we are called out on different things than shown in the video
