Page 1 of Shopping tips for India????

I will be of to India for Holiday.
Any tips on what to buy whilst there will be appreciated.
Thanx in advance

HAGGLE you will be able to get prices down upto 50%.

Almost ALL DVD`s there are fake, but still very good fakes.

Basically the shopkeepers will try & rip u off, just haggle and you`ll be OK. You will definatley find some wicked stuff there. Mega cheap aswell.

Have fun mate.

Remember to get vaccinated.

That diptheria jab`s a bitch

Temples Temples and more Temples - Your`e not going for my mates wedding are you!?????

Good clothes if your willing to look for them ie all the factories for the designer are there so the garms inevitably get into the local shops. Lots of Lacoste shops there as well. You can buy a genuine Lacoste shirt (£90 here) for about £20 there. Lots of benneton too................

Thanks for the Tips. I am going pure for a holiday to spend some Rupees. I do not intend to go to temples!!!!!!!!!!!
Starting from Delhi then to Agra , Rajasthan & Gujerat & Mumbai,
so if have any more tips for these places, please post them.

Don`t travel on top of the trains and watch out for elephant s***!

I always thought that travelling on top the trains was 1st class- air conditioned.
The upper decks of 747 jumbo jet is 1st( which I never had the chance of travelling in).

Dont buy food from people selling it on the street. It is probably very old and unhygenic. Go to some proper restaurants. CDs are very cheap there too. I dont know if they got shopping malls there or not but there are plenty of net cafes so dont forget to write!

My cousin told me that VCDs are bigger than DVD in India.
Considering the average length of a Hindi movie, it isn`t a surprise
for a movie to be on 4 or 5 discs
