General Information

Taxis In the airports there is a prepaid taxi window where you pay, depending on the route, in advance in exchange for a piece of paper in which you are assigned a taxi number to be searched outside.

In India, there are modern taxis with taximeter and at the height of any taxi in any European city, and there are also others (most) that work negotiating the price.

The rickshaws (or tuc-tuc) are Very funny. But, before riding a rickshaw or motocarro, negotiate the price with the driver, if not, you can pay a lot more than the service really costs.

Food on the street

Be careful what you eat. Diarrhea is the most frequent disease in international travel. Unfortunately a good appearance does not guarantee that a food is safe since, despite having an appetizing appearance, it may be contaminated. Avoid raw vegetables. Special attention to salads. The meat and fish should be consumed sufficiently cooked. As for the fruit, be careful what you drink, and consume only peeled fruit. Special attention must be paid to confectionery and ice cream due to its easy contamination. Milk and its derivatives should not be consumed without sanitizing.

Beware of accepting food (meals or drinks) from strangers, especially at train stations, as they may contain drugs and make you lose consciousness. It is a type of theft that has been practiced with some frequency.

Bargaining is common practice to buy anything. In fact the educated thing is to bargain for a product, except in stores where they clearly indicate that it is "fix-prices". How do they say "yes" in India? The Indians settle making a kind of eight lying down, or symbol of infinity. If you expected a gesture of agreement, do not be disoriented, even if it seems like a no, you have succeeded.

Affection samples in public . It is better to be discreet with the samples of affection and affection, since they would attract a lot of attention. In places of worship or their surroundings could even bother those around us. Kissing or even hugging are gestures that are kept in India for private life.
By the way, it will catch your attention to see boys or men walking hand in hand from time to time. It is a custom and a habitual gesture between friends, but it has nothing to do with homosexuality. Homosexuality in India or Nepal are big taboos. The obvious signs of affection between people of the same sex that are made in public are considered illegal and, careful, can be punished with imprisonment.

In general, keep the mood at all times is the most advisable. Most of the people are very good people, very friendly and very friendly.
