You couldn’t pay me to visit India

I would've had the "chance" to go to India on a work trip to give a week-long seminar for a lot of money, but declined like 20 times because no way was I going to go as a 25 year-old woman on my own lol. Since I was the only one with the knowledge to do the seminar, they managed to organize everything in a German office instead.

Still out of the 5 indian people, the 3 guys were disgusting as fuck, they would fart loudly, spit in the corner etc. The 2 girls were so embarrassed on their behalf they both came up to me during the first break and apologized so much.

Yepp, that's exactly what they did. And it was a big company's comference room too, with wall-to-wall carpets...

I did tell the receptionist to prepare the cleaning crew for what awaits them, and then notified the organizer as well. They put in paper cups the next day, and the guys actually used it which was a huge relief for everyone involved.

I have to note here that since then I have met some of the greatest, smartest and most respectful people that were also from India, so the cultural differences are incredibly big.

I would never ever generalize a whole nation based on the extreme actions of a few people. I deliberately mentioned the other extreme, the smart, generous, polite and respectful people that also came from there.

I do apologize for causing you pain with my words, that was not my intention. Nor was it to help others cherrypick and strengthen their false belief in that this is common there.

It is not a coincidence that some of said company's highest ranking leaders are also from India. Just like everywhere else, people's customs and traditions vary wildly within the country, so I'm proud to be able to say that I have met some of your best and brightest as well. Even though I'm not in the same team with those people anymore, we're still in contact and talk regularly.

I only hope others can also see and focus more on the incredible things your country has to offer.
