Has anyone visited or lived there? A buddy of mine and his wife are taking me in January for two weeks. We will be visiting Kerala, Delhi, Jaipur, and Agra.

I just got back from my doctor who recommended a couple vaccines; Malaria, Typhoid, and Hep A. I'd be lying if he didn't scare me a bit.

Anyway, for any of you that have visited the country I'd love to hear some advice/recommendations.

portray yourself as an unworthy poor boy to a privileged girl who is promised to a man she doesn’t love.
garnish her interest slightly.
be about to date her and have an awful fact or event come to light that makes her hate you.
solve said event/beat bad guy with girl witnessing in effort to win her back.
fall in love.
take a ride in a taxi, train, or magic carpet (your choice)
live happily ever after.

I'd stay away from the larger cities, go for the villages =)

Edit: frapjap, you forgot the 10 songs in there.

Enjoy the smell. See if you can get some Doxycycline from your Doc before you go.

in the villages you will be a very very wealthy man (also not a good thing)

I would pass on any drugs in India or any other foreign country except maybe Amsterdam. but I don't do drugs so ....

Did you hear it in your head with the appropriate accent?

OP if you need a theme song for your trip consider the below
