... to me &#8220;You come to my country you follow my rules&#8221; and was now asking for 290 Rupees - How he got that number, I don&#8217;t know. I think he was trying to say that if he went to Europe, they would not let him off - So now maybe the real issue was that we would not be understanding in Europe so he had to make me pay. <br><br>I carried on refusing and asked him to call the police. He took me to a room which I thought was going to be a little police station but was ...

... decreasing cash fund. "Fixed price Sir...short notice but as you are<br>a single traveler we can do it for 1400 rupees" He said. "I'll take<br>it!! But what about my train ticket?? Can I get a refund?" I was more<br>hopeful than confident.... " No problem Sir. We can sort out the discount<br>for you now via the Internet" And so he did. Top man! No sooner had I<br>bought my ticket when my helpful friend from the station whispered in the bus<br>ticket man's ear in Hindi. I placed my ticket ...

... up in weird costumes and waiting around for shots of the movie to happen, we went out and spent half of our earnings at a restaurant, hanging out our fellow foreigner actors. It was a great group of people from all over the world and we spent many more days hanging out with some of them around Colaba, and Mumbai. We hit up some of the main tourist attractions, like the Indian Musuem of Modern Art, the Maidan, Chowpatty Beach, and the local shops and ...

... a nearby group of grannies) at a group of Indian men who thought it was OK to shove their camera phones in my face as I walked past. Ditto the constant standing around staring. They just need to GET OVER IT and try to join the 21st century!!! Second part of the rant is the fact that they have the audacity to charge "foreigners" as they take great delight in calling us, a different rate entry fee to a ...

... Hanging Gardens with a view of Mumbai. We glimpsed where people from a old religion are left on a roof for vulures. We also visited Gandi home in Mumbai and a Jain temple. On our return to "Gateway of India" we undertook a walking tour of the fort area of Mumbai where we got to see many of the old colonial buildings. We hoped to see the guys carrying many meals on long poles but we were not at the right spot at the right time. We walked to Victoria Station ...

... scrambled out of the tent. At 6.00, our guide brought hot tea to our tent - wake-up-call! I was cold and tired and short-sighted when I climbed through the door. I turned left towards the "toilet". Thomas stopped me and told me to look to the right. And there, on the grass in front of our tent, Thomas had laid it in rocks, large enough for my weak eyes and surely a lot of work, THE sentence: "Marry me princess." T: I had woken up at 5 in the morning and been collecting rocks ...

We definitely beat the odds (as did any non-Indian or non-Chinese reading this... well done) considering the odds of entering the world as either Chinese or Indian is approximately 40 to 1 (collectively the Chin'bleed'in'ese & 'scamming' Indians make up 40% of the World's population). We then tried to ...

... located in the outskirts of Mumbai harbour as evidenced by moored freighter ships unloading their cargo right next door. In order to get to the temples you have to run a gauntlet of souvenir shops (a 500 meter trek uphill) but luckily the temple area itself is a commerce-free zone. The wares on offer were the usual collection of stone or wooden elephants, elephants, Buddhas and Buddhas (did I mention elephants?). But where is the stuff you can actually use or where are the ...

... In India, it is considered good to marry your daughter at the age of 24-25. Some girls do marry later at 26-27, or even at 30, but their parents are not happy at all. Well, I say half-jokingly, at least you don't need to worry about finding a husband. Your parents will arrange one for you. She laughs back - their arrangements are never good enough. In general, the whole arranged marriage institution has evolved into a sort of a dating service ...
