countdown to Agra and Delhi..14 hours left for the trip to Agra and Delhi wehuuuuu:)

Some tips given by the committee members:-

• the weather forecast for Delhi this week. It will be hot in the day time but do bring a light cardigan/shawl/light jacket as the nights could be cool ( plus hotel rooms are always cold )!!!
• For our female colleagues, please ensure that you dress appropriately in India in respect of the Indian culture and avoid wearing spaghetti straps, short dresses, bare-backs, shorts and mini-skirts. Jeans and T -Shirts would be the best.
•  Remember, when time is limited, head to the stores of items you specifically want to buy.
•  And in the markets/bazaars, bargain and don’t let touts take your to “my family/my friend’s store” as they get a commission for bringing you there!
•  Make sure you bargain hard when shopping (similar to shopping in China ) and avoid touts loitering outside stores who hassle you to come into a store. They may follow you a few paces but a firm no and playing deaf should do it.
• Be very careful of pickpockets ( which is everywhere in the world )!!
• Don’t wear inappropriate clothing ( refer to item number 2. above )
• Don’t eat food sold on streets
• Don’t eat cut fruit or any tit-bits sold on the street and small coffee shops
• Eat only at restaurants and make sure the fool is hot ( as in temperature ).
• Drink only bottled water with caps sealed ( Mayflower is making arrangements for purchasing water bottles )
• Go shopping  with at least another person
• Carry the Hotel business card with you.
• Remember your bus partner, have their number and room number and make sure both of you keep a lookout for each other
• Don’t carry huge amounts of money, be especially careful in crowded places
•  Leave your valuables and passport in the hotel safe ( best not to bring too much jewellery unless you plan to trade it to purchase Indian jewellery.
• Brush your teeth with cool, boiled water.
• Carry your medications in your carryon luggage. You may want to get a letter from your doctor as well to say that those are prescribed drugs
• Bring along medicine for stomach upsets and food poisoning, headaches, anti-histamines ( check with the health centre )

Here’s to a wonderful, memorable and safe trip to India and looking forward to all that fun we’re going to have and people we’re going to know better!
