I have a guest from India who is visiting the US for the first time and staying at my home this weekend from Friday night through Monday morning early and would like to show him some hospitality.
Does anyone with Indian experience have any ideas that would make his visit enjoyable? He has no food restrictions. He is in his 20's or maybe early 30's and has a background in IT. He is somewhat humorous and adventurous.
1) Ideas for places to eat (he might want a taste of Texas but also something he is familiar with from back home).
2) Places to hang out. I know this is a big open question, but again, I have no idea where to start. He will be staying with me and my family in our big home ranging from grandparents to toddlers living with us so there is plenty going on here, but he may want to get out and hang out with the young professional scene one evening.
3) I'm going to take him up to our ranch one day to see a bit of the country side, but not sure about anything else.
4) If you are from India, do you recall what you would have like to have done on your first visit?
5) Is there anything I should consider in this culture? I have asked about religious observations but he doesn't say nor has any but my kids and I are going to church on Sunday (Palm Sunday) where we are singing (this was scheduled weeks ago before we found out he was coming) so I'm hoping this will sort of work itself out
Thanks!
