About a well-off American family who went to live for a couple of weeks with a fairly poor family in Indian? It's probably a few years old now.

I remember one bit, where the family (who's Jewish) saw swastikas on a Hindu shrine, and told the Indians that the Germans used to use that. The Indians replied with something along the lines of "The Germans are our brothers, because they come from Aryan, and we are Aryan." That was interesting.

Anybody seen this?

Actually yes i have but it wasn't a doco but a TV series about taking Yanks to far flung places of the world, some of the other episodes involved...
-The beating of a man who didnt inform the right person of a death.
-Lazy Men in Malaysia while Women do all the work.
-I can't remeber the other funny thing.

But this family were Gingas and from New York.
I laughed straight away.

Sure it's the same one? It might not have been a docu, but it was a Jewish family in India, I remember that. Ginga doesn't sound Jewish...
