In 40 days or so I am going to be on a plane on my way to India and need help.
I’ve heard travel stories.
Googled pictures.
Read my share of articles.
And they have not relayed my fears that I need to get two injections, swallow malaria tablets and take deep breathes to prevent me from snapping from the shear force of it all.
That force being 1 billion people in India.
THERE ARE OVER ONE BILLION INDIANS! OH MY GOD!
I come from Australia = population 22 million.
Canberra = 300,000
Me = 1
So the objective is to get a sense of calm before the doors of the plane open because I have heard had some stories - good, bad and the ugly - and honestly I am slightly concerned that I might be overwhelmed by the whole thing.
So I ask you the question:
So what to pack for a trip to India in December/January? I have a nine day tour of Jaipur, Taj Mahal, Varanasi and Delhi.
Any thing I need to avoid?
Any markets I should keep my eye out for?
Any help would be much appreciated.
