A lot of US settled desis are travelling too.<BR/> Also please correct the punctuation -- there is no apostrophe when using a word in plural form (you wrote desi's, cafe's, uncleji's etc ).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9967255.post-1157021861323359092006-08-31T18:57:00.000+08:002006-08-31T18:57:00.000+08:00Jane: Good.

But beside mindset that is more to do with monetary incapability. At least they will now take short breaks...<BR/><BR/>Sue: Yes, a little piece of India with them - I like that. Amsterdam is ever popular with Indian tourists - saw gazillions of them when we were there in January.<BR/><BR/>Labile: A tube map on the wall. Hmmm. Good souvenier but on the wall like a poster - really??? I have always found helpful tube staff. Sorry the ones you met gave you a hard time!<BR/><BR/>San: Exactly my point. I wear ethnic accesories: shawls, jewellry etc but never sarees to work (I do wear salwar kameez's when weather permits). But its not because I don't want to rather it's to blend in with the world. The accessories highlight my own culture and dress code. All these people in saree/ salwar are tourists and that's how they get identified - that is how I know so many more are milling around central London.<BR/><BR/>I love the summer in London.....30in2005https://www.blogger.com/profile/17890962493413799278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9967255.post-1157020161577445192006-08-31T18:29:00.000+08:002006-08-31T18:29:00.000+08:00But how often do you see women at work wearing the...But how often do you see women at work wearing the indian outfits esp saree's? I must admit I wouldn't wear them eitehr so i don't know why i expect to see oters in them :s <BR/><BR/>You see London through the eyes of a tourist, beautifully described though and yeah London in teh summer is great probably the only time i like it :)Sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17542542549895543741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9967255.post-1156986279333689252006-08-31T09:04:00.000+08:002006-08-31T09:04:00.000+08:00Yeah about the Tube staff being friendly, don't th...Yeah about the Tube staff being friendly, don't think so.

I love doing that, makes me feel like I know the whole city.
