The rule of choice for travelers is common sense and awareness of being in a foreign country that has a history, culture and traditions totally different from yours. That said, filled the suitcase, open your horizons and get ready for India.
1. Do not forget a medicine against intestinal problems immediately. As you may be careful to put food in their mouths, the risk is still high, especially if you decide to be brave and try the spicy Indian food. Prepare yourself for a few days of stomach cramps and other disorders.
2. Do not change money at the airport, the exchange rate is very unfavorable. suggest you do is leave your country with already some Indian rupees for any travel by taxi upon arrival, then look for local undergone a change.
3. Do not give money to begging children. If you really feel the need for immediate action, buy food, preferably local (AVOID SOFT DRINKS AND SNACKS).
4. Do not enter the temples and sacred places with scantily clad.
5. Do not touch food with your left hand is considered unclean and India is used for daily hygiene. Generally even the money was never touched with his left hand but in this case are less picky and no one will resume in case you forgot it.
6. Come in the house with shoes is considered rude. Often, even this rule applies in some stores and not giving a bad impression just check if there are already abandoned shoes at the entrance.
7. Do not get angry, May be they beggars, taxi drivers, store clerks, waiters, the cows on the road or traffic in general, forget it! Will ruin the holidays and the liver. Rather, try to take everything with humor.
8. Do not respond to the insistent gaze of men. This is particularly true for women: you will feel harassed by nagging looks the part of the whole Indian male, ask him politely, highly recommend Women downcast eyes!
9. Do not trust the directions. It seems that the Indian people do not like the figure of the ignorant, and rather than admit to not knowing the place where "X", prefer to say "straight" or lost in spite of complicated explanations have not the slightest idea what they're talking about. The advice in this case is to ask at least four different people: If it's matches, then it is exact.
10. Do not ask: "But why ...?". In this country the one thing I understood and I happened to Varanasi, the waters of the Ganga River at dawn: India is ruled by more than a thousand gods and there is no reason to question the why.
