Haha! That's funny, right? In India, if you show up in a bikini or swimwear other people will look at you as if you are an alien. This does not happen a lot on a few beaches in Goa though. :-D Women are mostly shy because of the constant staring(by both men and other women) that happens.

There is another reason - we do not have many people who work out regularly to have that sassy beach body ;) We eat a lot and it shows on our muscles. :-P I hope this changes for us very soon!
