I visited a silk factory. India is supposed to be known for its silk -- and they seem to sell it everywhere. This one particular shop was tucked deep into one of the neighborhoods and it had a lot of local shoppers -- which should be a good sign. In the US, the good chinese restaurants are the ones with lots of chinese people in it.
But the shop-keeper pulled the same corny lines that I heard 15 years ago in a jewelry store in St. Thomas. "Come sit down and make yourself at home - you are like my friend - can I get you a coke?" The lady in St. Thomas said something like "Come sit down - here is a coke - now we are friends, yes?"
