During our trip around golden triangle we learned some more things about India:
- If you want to buy something, be aware, before you ask about the price it already got higher with at least 50%, just because you are a tourist.
- There is no limit for bargaining.
- Everyone expects you to tip them: beggars, waiters, taxi drivers, guides, even going to the toilet, there is someone expecting you there. He will give you a paper tissue and wait for a tip. This is how it works in India.
- People who beg may be richer than you :-)
- Not important how much you tip, it's never enough.
- Don't ever try to drink wine in India. It could be the worst you ever tried in your life.
- If you are european, Medium spicy is not for you....for you is Mild :-)
First objective we visited in Delhi was the biggest mosque in India, Jami Masjid. The entrance was free, but before going in you should leave your shoes outside. One man was selling some white sleepers at the entrance, which actually you can wear inside...just if you buy them of course. I should admit that the mosque is really nice and worth visiting. Before going inside, I had a photo camera over my shoulder, so he made us pay for photo shooting. Starting with this day, camera was always in the bag, and we succesfully took pics everywhere....for free.
We visited some more spots in Delhi and discovered another funny thing. The entrance fee was different for local visitors and foreigners...and how different! Everywhere locals were supposed to pay aproximately 10 rupees (20 euro cents), while foreigners were paying 250 rupees (4,5 euro), funny ha? :D
