12. Gender reveals

As a matter of fact, it is illegal to reveal the gender before birth in India. You will lose your medical license for doing that. It is because of the extremely high female foeticide.

The lack of bidets in bathrooms.

Come on guys, there are situations (like after a big Indian food meal) that just cannot be solved with toilet paper. Specially if you’re a guy with the bad luck of having a really hairy ass (and sorry for being so graphic, but I did it so Americans understand). When I was in NY I felt I needed to take a shower after a couple of craps.
