We had once a foreign returned guest when i was a kid and when he was served Coke he said" Puttar thoda garam hai ismein snow pa de, thanda ho jauga" we had to control our laugh burst and then my sister (8 years old) scratched the freezer and filled his glass with it ( remember how old refridgerators had all that pile if not cleaned for a while!)
But it is utmost surprising when upon behaving in such a manner other Indians look at you with awe ......... 'saala main to saab ban gaya' .............

Fido.
Newly married, on honeymoon in Miami I went to Macy's for the first time and enrolled myself for their membership. The lady on the counter couldn't get me thru cause I was a non resident and had no social security number, she said it shouldn't be a problem as I told her we plan to travel frequently to US and shop. She put me to her customer support service who wanted my passport number which starts with "ZED" the lady couldn't get my English "ZED" and I was embarrassed thinking what's wrong, hubby rescued me later and explained her the American "ZEE", sorry new to the country!!
The same funny thing happened at Dubai airport where without knowing the Dollar/INR difference I picked up a Italian lipstick for $76 and my sweet hubby paid meekly (newly married shyness/blunder now he says!!) Even after 9 years I still have the lipstick (expired) but unused (was horrified to put it on)!!!
We still laugh on them.....the American and the Indian ways!

- Staying in Hotel even in Home town. (Ye Saleh log Athey kinv idhar)..
- Refuse to consume medication you consumed for the last 25 years and stick to Tylenol.
- Importantly and most recently, appearing bit pale in their face looking at the money in the hands of youth and their spending habit, looking at the Cars, new houses etc.., etc.,. remaining bit more calm than used to be in the past..
- Never forgetting to put the sunglasses on....
More and more...
