With India being such a cosmopolitan country, it was no surprise to find so many things there that were from abroad. At the Sarovar Portico Hotel in Indore, one notices that those Gideons sure get around:

but I am not sure exactly why being Australian makes cookies particularly special, at Indore Airport, something that this Cookie Man stand touts:

Cookie Man, Australian cookies

Any sign of New Zealand, the Aussies on my Viet Nam trip got annoyed as we saw much more evidence of NZ there than Aus.

Not really. They knew our cricket team and almost every male Indian who speaks about the subject can name Richard Hadlee. They knew of the All Blacks but cricket is a much bigger game than rugby. I honestly can’t say I spotted anything Kiwi or even Kiwi-owned (unless there are some Font Error-owned juices or dairy products I am unaware of). Not even a single Kiwi accent among the tourists.

Strangest was on the island of Phu Quoc, about 20-30 minutes flying west from Viet Nams West coast. In a village main street I found ice cream from Invercargill!

OK, that definitely takes the cake! Plus this was an island you had to fly to! No such weirdness in India, unfortunately.
