Culture Shock

While in India, during British rule, the wealthy English lords and nouveau riche Europeans voyaged to far South Africa or Australia for a change; however, the ordinary folk could not afford this luxury. They suffered in the heat and humidity of Calcutta for decades before Darjeeling was developed as a viable hill town for the English to live in and enjoy.
