Travel Tips for India (presented by Stefan)

Toilet Paper Is a Luxury, Not a Guarantee.
Bring your own tissues or toilet paper, just in case. Also, get acquainted with the Jet spray — it's a rite of passage.
Pack one more boxer or panties in case of any possible accident. 

Your Spice Tolerance Is Not India's Spice Tolerance.
"Mild" in India can still launch a small fire in your mouth. Always start low and build your spice game slowly.

Traffic Rules Are... Suggestions.
Lanes are decorative, horns are the national language, and cows have right of way.
Always buckle up and be prepared to loose of all your German sense for good organization.


The Head Bobble Is Mysterious and Powerful 
Indian hospitality is legendary, but so is our vague answering style. 
Get to know a lot of techniques how somebody can shake his head and find your way how to interpret his gestures. 


​"India Time" Is a Real Thing.
5 minutes can mean 30, and “we’re almost there” might mean “I just left.” Embrace the pace — you’re on holiday!

There’s a Guy for Everything.
Lost your luggage? Need a last-minute tailor? Looking for mangoes in December? Don’t worry.
There is a "Depp vom Dienst" for all kind of services, which you might desire during your stay and travel in India. 

AC Can Be Antarctica (just like how Jel likes it).
Indian air conditioners believe in extremes. Bring a light jacket or blanket unless you enjoy sleeping in a meat locker.

You’ll Learn to Dance. Or Be Pulled Into It.
Resistance is futile. Someone will drag you onto the dance floor — and you’ll love it!


Save your life - do not come home with a new wife 
If a beautiful Indian girl suddenly wants to show you around, introduce you to her family, and teach you Bollywood dance moves…
Congratulations, you may have just become someone’s future son-in-law.
Pro tip: Learn to say “I’m just here for Steven & Nikita's wedding” very clearly. 


India Stays With You.
The colors, the chaos, the people, the food, the drama, the joy — it’ll all leave a mark on your heart (and maybe your luggage).
