Even today, after decades of official crackdown, the biggest obstacle to modernization is the rural tradition of arranged marriages and violent disputes over dowries.

I remember a high school teacher that would give you five points on an exam just for spelling your name correctly on the top.

It was supposedly to keep you from getting a goose egg on the exam. But if I had a name like any of those, I'd never get more than a 95 no matter how hard I studied.

711 is the code for telecom relay service. Any number from 711 is a spammer because the area code doesn’t exist.

Good to know, though I generally don’t answer a call if I don’t recognize the number. If it’s important, the caller can leave a voicemail.
