Trip to India! Scary..

[utopiomania]

Me and a collegue has been ordered to be on a plane to India in half a month to fix a piece of
expensive, non-cooperative piece of machinery, and may stay for as long as two weeks..

Any tips out of the ordinary??? It is in Mumbai, and I must admit I havent travelled that much
around the world.

Do they sell Whisky there?

Do not leave the hotel.

Do not leave the hotel.

Weren't the terrorist attacks in Mumbai a year and a half ago against a hotel?

Its maybe not reassuring to you when you ask for personal opinions, but I'm quite sure that norways foreign ministry can give you neutral information and hints when travelling to india.

Here is the information given by the austrians ministry of foreign, translated by babelfish: [India]

Don't walk the streets, use a closed car taxi. Don't let yourself in with
fortune tellers. Outside the Hotel only drink from bottled water.

Only drink from bottled water that YOU yourself opened... avoid the red light zones unless you want your throat cut... eat in the hotel but NO GREENS!!! get some fenugeek and chew it and swallow it once a day and the Mumbai Revenge will not trouble you!!!!

Do not leave the hotel.

Don't leave the country

[utopiomania]

OMG! This is worse than I imagined, especially blue's and Rook's advices.

No street-walking, no Red-light district? What kind of place is this?

[Rook Zimbabwe]

Look it is really simple...

Don't eat, drink or breathe when in india... negotiate all fares before you get in to the taxis... keep it in your pants and don't make eye contact... you should be fine!

Sorry, no red light district, the women are hot, but we only look at them, and the vid above is not
typical of India. We gave her a 100 rupees and a water bottle.
