Indian traveling to South America

BackpackingNinja (a woman from India) has a brilliant blogpost about question they ask when traveling from India to South America.

http://backpackingninja.blogspot.com/2008/08/south-indian-mamis-on-lat...

Some of the questions:

1. Oh a 7 month break - You are having a baby aren't you? (after spending an hour explaining to them about your trip, you may still get this question cause anything with months in it has to do with having a baby)

2. Your husband is not going with you. Will he still be in the same house when you are gone? (Polite way of asking if everything in your marriage is ok)

3. You are going to Latin America. Then, won't you be visiting California and Niagra falls? (they only catch the America bit.. leaving the Latin out)
