    Just go! 1 month ago

    The biggest expense is the plane ticket, but once you’re there, you can do it! It is affordable! Most of the towns and cities had auto rickshaws that cost less than a dollar to go a long way. Food was cheap, as was lodging. If you know someone who is staying there, figure out a way to visit. You will save on lodging and have someone to help you feel more comfortable in a new and different place.

    Maybe. This was gonna happen in between grad school and vet school, but lately we’ve been talking about China or South America instead. China is where the man wants to teach english for a year while I’m in vet school, so good to check the place out. South America would give us a chance to practice all the college spanish classes we’ve had and get to know the language better. So we’ll see.

    I plan to visit India by the end of 2010



    harrietelizabeth Why do you build me up, Buttercup baby?

    Wait-I've never even tried Indian food 8 months ago

    Since its where I plan to retire one day, I thought I ought to maybe check the place out first. The summer before I start vet school is when I’ll be going, maybe for a honeymoon?



    Inspired... 12 months ago

    by a guy I met in the summer who was so passionate about India, I couldn’t help but be infected by his enthusiasm.

    I haven’t done any serious travelling for 10 years, and I think its about time. I sooooo need a break from work, and I the idea of immersing myself in a completely new culture and from what I’ve been told India is a complete assault on your senses!

    Money wise I’ll need to save and realistically this will probably take a year to put aside enough money to go away with and enough to come back to.

    I Love India Now 14 months ago

    My son and I went to Bangalore for a week, then to Nagarhole Wildlife Preserve, Kodagu (Orange County), and Mysore for another week. It was soo very different and so exciting. I loved the temples, animals, people, jasmine, food!!!, and watching how people get by when they just don’t have all the modern conveniences. People for the most part are slim and eat a healthy diet. It’s just so different I could go on all day. We were lucky enough to witness a traditional wedding.

    If you get a chance, you must go.



    I will always cherish this experience. 14 months ago

    It is totally worth it. I would recommend taking the time and making the effort to “give back” in some way…visit an orphanage, a school, find some way to volunteer and help.

    If you can’t do the above, you simply MUST take the time to talk to the people of India….they can be very warm, very loving, and they seem to speak from the heart…but are very honest..sometimes brutally so..lol

    Just watch out for hockers…if you are on a big tourist bus or something, hockers are at every stop…you’ll get used to them though and can get some pretty cool souvenirs for loved ones that way.

    He came back saying it was hot, smelly, and just too different to australia..
