A man who relocated from the United States to India recently shared 8 ways his life changed after moving to the country with his Canadian wife. Tim Fischer shared a video on Instagram documenting the cultural differences he encountered after moving to India. From more flavour in food to driving rules, he showcased how everyday life in the country can be surprising for foreigners.
The video begins with Mr Fischer's first change - the food. He claims that his daily meals have more flavour and spice now. He then points out that his backyard has no grass. Thirdly, he says that his name is not used very often. Instead, people in India use terms like 'bhaiya', sir and uncle to address him.
"Moving to a different country comes with a lot of changes. Here are 8 ways my life changed after moving from US to India," Mr Fischer wrote in the caption of the post.

"that's so cute video!!! All the best!! Love your & your wife's videos!" expressed one Instagrammer. "You learnt Hindi? Respect," added another.
