I've been talking to a friend who is from and lives in Kerala, India. He's never been outside of India and I've never been to India. I'm very curious when it comes to culture, geography, and whatnot, but I never know what to ask. I'm also sometimes afraid of being impolite or saying the wrong thing. We've talked about school and films, even a bit about food, but we both have a hard time coming up with something to say, though we both enjoy conversing.
What sort of things can I ask him to start conversation that can help us learn about each other's culture?
We both speak English, but is there a word or phrasing I should avoid? One time he said he had an affair, which was confusing in the context because we were thinking of totally different meanings.
Interesting topics in general?
Something I might not know about Kerala?
