Adventure India

India is land of mystery and confusion. It's technologically advanced in some places and primitive in other places. Massive poverty, heavy pollution, lots of cows, parades, weddings, parties and crowded trains and buses.

I would say that if you have never been to somewhere "really" busy and about as far away as you could possibly be from "Western Culture" India would take some getting used to. People will try to scam you all the time, but at least they do it with a smile.

Luckily I had quite a ramp up period before coming to India. Eastern Europe, Turkey, Egypt then India made the transition in to the new hectic India very easy. The only thing that I thought was odd was the cows, but soon they just blend in to the chaos too. I hope you don't mind cockroaches and little lizards :)
