Your thoughts on Indian culture

I have an Indian family friend from the South. They lived here in our country for 8 years already and they are my friends for almost 5 years already. They are very nice people and they shared a lot of Indian cultures and traditions with me. I can say that, basing from them, Indian people are nice and hospitable. Although there are differences in each of us- but, they are very accommodating and very kind as well.

I haven't visited India yet but we have a province in my country that has a huge Indian population living there. I don't have too much knowledge about India and that what I had learned at school a very long time ago is long forgotten. All that I know is that the Indian women are very beautiful.

I'd love to visit India once. I'm really interested in the whole culture. I love the folk art, music, clothes, Bollywood... it all seems really unique and harmonious. I'm interested in this whole caste system, but that I feel far from my beliefs... and a bit scary, I find it.
