French Content Creator Praises India's Daily Life Advantages Over France
A French content creator living in India has captured hearts online with her heartfelt observations. She lists five everyday aspects where she feels India excels compared to her home country.
Street Food Variety and Accessibility
The creator, who goes by Freldaway, starts with India's street food. She highlights its incredible variety and easy availability. Good food in India is never far away and remains affordable, she notes. "So many tasty, varied and affordable options, readily available everywhere you go!" she writes. She adds that the experience often includes friendly chats with vendors and glimpses of local newspapers.
Bold and Colorful Indian Jewellery
Indian jewellery stands out for its vibrant and bold aesthetic. Freldaway openly admires what she calls "Indian jewellery maximalism." She encourages stacking jhumkas, bangles, rings, and necklaces without hesitation. She admits being completely obsessed with this style.
Comfortable Long-Distance Night Travel
Comparing India's sleeper AC buses and trains to France's FlixBus system, she finds the latter lacking. While she enjoys bus travel in France, she describes it as "definitely not as comfy." She praises India's connectivity for making overnight journeys comfortable and scenic. She even suggests skipping flights when possible to travel by road or rail from "a comfortable little bed."
Superior Hair Care Practices
Hair care is another area where India shines. From traditional oiling practices to naturally thick hair and protective hairstyles, she jokes that "everyone and their mother could be on a shampoo commercial." In contrast, she humorously refers to her own "thin French hair" as standing no chance.
Warm Indian Hospitality
She concludes on an emotional note by discussing Indian hospitality. Recalling moments of being welcomed into homes, sharing meals and cultures, and receiving food as gifts, she writes, "I will never not be impressed by the kindness and hospitality everyone has shown me in India." She adds that she always feels extremely welcomed and wishes France could be as kind and open-hearted towards foreigners.
Warm Reactions from Online Community
Her post quickly drew positive responses from many Indians who appreciated her observations. One user suggested visiting Kerala for even better food and hospitality. Another commented on how nice it is to hear lovely things about India. A third user shared that France was their favorite country until India came into their life, expressing love for India.
The creator's reflections highlight small but meaningful aspects of daily life in India that have deeply impressed her since moving for work.
