Yes, but it's so much work getting a good Indian meal together.
Japanese is good if you have the right ingredients. You'll need to go a specialty store.
French is good. I can lose myself in that. I mean just go through the Julia Child and Jacques Pepin recipes. They tend to be very good and worth it.
Chinese is like the Himalayas of good cooking. Lot of different regional cuisines. If you get any one of them right, you are eating very well. Sichuan, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, Hunan. I mean, it's a good meal. Really good cooking - that's going to be Chinese.
Obviously everything will depend on your tastes. If you are going to devote a couple of weeks to cooking, I would do French for the first week. You'll understand the importance of the quality of ingredients. Then technique. Then I'd take a stab at Chinese, particularly Sichuan
Do you have a good site or cookbook for Sichuan? I love sichuan food, and while I've done some individual dishes, I haven't done a fancy full meal.

Spanish food. Paella for company. Tortilla for family on the weekend (it's more of a frittata -- not at all the same thing as a Mexican tortilla).

Turkish food is easier/healthier than Indian in my estimation and has wonderful spices.

We really like Japanese, Vietnamese, and Korean cuisine so I'd try something from there

You could try Moroccan, North African, or Caribbean? Vietnamese or Philippines might be fun too.

I cook a pretty wide variety, but I've done this with Spanish, Thai, Greek, Belgian, Italian, and Polish food so far. I've made individual dishes or a meal just for me and my kids that are from a pretty wide variety of other cuisines, but I'd happy to repeat those.

Make one of those Maori dishes cooked in the ground.
