Beware the apples

No seriously. NEVER forget to peel fruit and be strictly wary of watermelons unless you want a nice case of the Dheli belly.

Oh, and the ice. Big hotels, starbucks and such should be fine, but elsewhere can be dodgy. As Robinmask said, the risks are pretty proportional to how much you intend to rough it.

I haven't been to india myself, although some close friends have (hence the apple story!), but I roughed it out on a shoestring in S.E asia for 4 months and the health rules are pretty much the same. I can def. tell you what things I found useful to take and what was just a weight in the bag.

Ummm . . .I hear kids do alot more homework there then here .. . That's all I have, Sorry.


My Life Sucks- The kids I babysit have drooled, ripped or drawn on all of the cards and put the cars with the little people in the microwave!

I have no Friends- The cats have scratched and destroyed all of the DVDs!

I always owe someone- In fact I put two os in it!

I always ruin my clothes with Bleach!- The show is so dom suspensful I spill my grape soda on them!

But . . .I'll live.

You'll expect to hear around 15 different Indian languages and English if you go on a train/bus trip. "South India" speaks very different languages compare to "North India" (Hindustani vs. Dravidian languages).
