LISTING STUFF

We sat down the other night to try and get a "kit list"... its started off way too big. With way too many shoes and comedy hats.. so we have stripped it down to what we might actually need...so golf clubs, croquet mallets ,smoking jackets and high heels stay while tents and flashlights go.

well kinda, we reckon we can beg, borrow or steal most of the kit and what we cant bring we will buy in india...

India - Don't wear shorts


Men and women should avoid wearing shorts in India as there is a stigma attached to Western adults wearing them. Shorts are seen as the uniform of the poorest people in Indian society and also - for men - they are traditionally just for young boys.

Creased clothes should be avoided too - Indians are fastidious about their appearances, so take advantage of street ironing booths, or hotel laundry and ironing services, to avoid causing offence.
