Indians For Guns

On my second long stay in India (arraigning to get married, formalities with the Consulate General of Australia etc., etc,) I stayed at the YMCA in what was then Bombay (Mumbai).
On the first morning I wandered into the Dining Hall for breakfast dressed in casual Indian clothes, loose cotton pants and kurta, the room was full of local men in western shirts and trousers.
I sat down and after I’d placed my order with the waiter, the chap next to me, after the usual pleasantries said, “Excuse me, Sir, but may I ask, why are you wearing Indian dress?”
” Well, I am in India, why are you wearing European dress?”
He looked a bit nonplussed for a moment, then grinned, “Well, I never thought of it that way before.”

Haha that's an amusing little story. It's always interesting to see people's reactions when cultures interact. That guy seemed pretty cool about realizing how his perspective was challenged by your response. Funny how we often don't question the "norms" we're used to until an outside viewpoint is introduced.

That's a good one. Good luck with the marriage.
