Has anyone ever been to India? |
Travel Info I am going to be travelling to India in November and I was wondering what it's like there. What language do they speak? What kind of food do they have? What kind of staying conditions? Anything special I should know or bring? Travel Tips i lived in india for a long time, im of indian descent but was not born there. i was raised in the US but i love india for the culture and the people and their quirkiness. if you have the money, spend it and stay comfy. if you dont, try your hardest to overlook the obvious differences and enjoy the landscape and the natural beauty around you. you can find everything in india that you have in america, but its always with a twist. thats what makes it beautiful and special and very memorable. november is the perfect season to visit..try not to do too much at once..stick to a few destinations, and do a lot of research before you go and after you arrive. foods range from mild to very very spicy. of course, there is Mcdonalds and pizza hut in every major city, but try to avoid the globalization and eat fresh food at local restaurants. dont eat salad. avoid all food which is not freshly made, ie piping hot and steaming. just be smart, and carry your own bottle of water with you. if you are prone to getting sick, make sure you have your Hep A shots, typhoid, and malaria prophylaxis. if you are planning trips to goa or kerala, make sure you have appropriate beach attire, and if you are a woman, just attempt to stay covered. india is a conservative country, and you will feel more comfortable! (that would be the understatement of the year.) everybody speaks english, but dont expect to understand what they are saying to you. by the way, india has at least 20 languages and regional differences from state to state. the official languages of india are hindi and english. bring a good book. bring a journal. bring your ipod. dont be afraid of train travel. dont bring a computer. live the life of a rani or raja, at least for one day..experience everything, from indian-style toilets to a room at the Taj. it can only be described as a orchestra..noisy, deafening, soothing, and melancholy. have a great trip.
