People in India use cash more, I suppose. All the informal markets, cab rides, tiny shops.

I almost made that a point. Lots of tipping too.

This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your travels and observations, David. It's interesting to see the cultural contrasts and norms, especially the more "freewheeling" aspect such as the pop-up markets/vendors and traffic giving a new perspective on what we have in the States and how much is really just theater to make us feel better or if it's part of a more risk-aversion mentality on our part? Thanks again and your family is in my prayers!

'Something went wrong' with the 'like', so will write a comment. Thanks for interesting glimpses of life in Delhi. I wonder if, in a few years, you all will want to re-visit the city?

Oh it was a lot of fun, and of course it would be good to take Kriti back there when she is a little older. I hope international travel conditions will permit it.

I also often get the 'something is wrong' when I try to like a substack post. If I click on the speech balloon first (to get to the comment section), and then on the like heart, it works.
