yeah i have to be honest.. india is one country where i feel like ive never been scammed.. and certainly not more than any local would be.. of course you can get unlucky.. and certain things you do have to be wary of.. like rickshaws.. and indeed like the other comment, at the Taj Mahal its a bit of a mess there as its SO touristic and ultra poor.. it definitely helps to be in the right place.

thanks for sharing .. it really sounds like we have a lot in common, although i have dabbled a bit too much in cannabis.. :) one month im off now, and feelin it!

anyways.. yes i agree.. treat people like children and they will behave like children.. which is exactly how it looks like most people behave like.. even those in highest levels of power seem to act like kids.. its a weird thing to witness to be honest.. and i might add this seems much more the case in europe.. for some reason! perhaps the nanny state is responsible!
