Alongside her message, she posted a video that showed snippets of her Indian journey, playing Holi, cooking, eating with her children, and travelling. The video started with a bold line: 'I've been
living in India
for 2 years & I'm not ashamed to admit THIS.'
What she doesn't like
In the video, Agnes shared some of the things she finds difficult about living in India. She mentioned how noisy it can get, the lack of Polish food, people often arriving late, and her frustration with not being able to speak the local language well. She also highlighted the issue of regular power outages, which many people in the comments could relate to.
