I'm half japanese, 1/4 indian, 1/8 mexican, and then the other 1/8 is some mixture of european, primarily german.
My bloodline is ****ing all over the place, and a good amount of my relatives have moved to other countries for jobs, schooling, or just for the hell of it. I've got relatives living in Japan, America, India, Mexico, Germany, France, UK, and Canada currently, I might be forgetting someone. Having a massive extended family on both mom's and dad's side(despite my dad being an only child) that I keep in general touch with helps.
The western world suuuuuuccks when it comes to food, save for 3 or 4 countries. I went to the UK once. I just about went crazy. Someone needs to tell that country that salt and pepper are not enough when it comes to spices.
Maybe they didn't have toilet paper if the last visit was 10 years ago. Most cities(especially Mumbai and Pune where I was last year) are pretty westernized, but luckily the western epidemic saw fit to spare the food and open air shopping districts in most areas. Thankfully, it did hit the toilets, most places have western style toilets now, though having paper right there can be a tossup depending on where you are. I'd recommend grabbing a few rolls to travel with just in case.
But you can almost always find a bidet. And if you're forced to clean up sans paper, there's always water and soap available, so it's not horribly unhygenic, so long as you're not in the rural backwater.
Genral services can be iffy, so it usually helps to know someone there that you can ask about reliable places(really, for anything, since you're probably a foreigner that doesn't speak Hindi or doesn't know the locality very well-but that's true in almost any country.)
India's pretty nice though, all things considered. Though there are definite cultural differences in terms of personal space(people will crowd around you and bump into you and give no ****s about it) and stuff like that, though, so it can be a culture shock if you're used to america.
