India has a special charm that silently attracts you, without you even realising the growing obsession, turning first-time visitors into lifelong fans. A French woman new to the country has shared her honest opinion on what makes daily life here different from that in foreign lands, and it has gone viral online. This is one of those experiences that shows how expats who visit the country often appreciate it even more than the natives do. A French woman, known online as Freldaway, shared an Instagram video titled “Things India does better than France,” listing five everyday wins she has discovered since moving here for work. She captioned it, “As a French girl who’s moved to India for work - here are five things I think India is doing better than France!!” The post exploded with over 2.7 lakh views, attracting appreciation from users across the world.Freldaway began with India’s street food, raving about the endless tasty, inexpensive bites everywhere. On her Instagram post, she wrote, “So many tasty, varied and affordable options, readily available everywhere you go! You don’t just get food, but usually you also get a little chat with the uncles and a read of the local newspapers.” She loved the social vibe, where a snack becomes a small moment.Next, she gushed over Indian jewellery. “I am all for Indian jewellery maximalism! Like hell yeah, let’s stack jhumkas, bangles, rings and necklaces like there is no tomorrow!!! They are just so colourful and fashionable - OBSESSED,” Freldaway wrote. It’s that fearless, vibrant style that hooked her.India’s sleeper AC buses and trains won her over for long trips. She said they beat France’s options, encouraging people to skip flights for scenic rides from a cosy bed. “The country is so well connected. If you have time, don't fly, just travel around this way - you’ll see gorgeous landscapes from a comfortable lil’ bed.”On hair, she marvelled at routines like oiling and protective styles, as well as genetics. “From the genetics to hair oiling and protective hairstyles, everyone and their mother could be on a shampoo commercial!!! My thin French hair is quaking,” she shared.Furthermore, she talked about Indian hospitality that truly stole the show. Freldaway called it unmatched - from home invitations to food gifts, and wished France matched the same openness. “I always feel extremely welcomed! I wish France was as kind and open-hearted towards foreigners.”Netizens flooded the comments with love. “I love how people observe Indian culture and appreciate it so well,” one user wrote, while another said, “It’s so nice to hear something lovely being said about my wonderful country India. Thank you.” “France was my favourite country until India came into my life,” added another fan.
