I'm going to Delhi and Goa. What I'm looking for is a yoga course and meditation course. Does anyone know of a good place in Delhi and/or Goa? Is there a good place to surf in Goa? Also, what other things should I see while I'm there? It can be everything from restaurants to monkeys(I actually really want to see monkeys :D)   | ||

anyhow, seen a few pictures at a friends place, the big buildings all looks nice there. The "normal" streets however have a lot of pretty disgusting (for western (un-)expectations at least) stuff on them. Can't remember any names or places though. But it's still gonna be one hell of an experience i guess  good luck | ||

do not buy from street dealers, occasionally they will refill bottles with the safety seal on, i took one sip and it tasted different, but that was enough i got the worst case of god knows what from that, puked 7 times in a row crush every water bottle you buy so it cant be refilled | ||

I do yoga in Norway and I love it But it would be nice to see if there is some new stuff to learn in India, and if I'm not learning anything new it would still be nice to start every day with yogaMaybe I'll go to Bombay instead of Delhi, I'll look into it  On February 07 2011 16:10 amd098 wrote: make sure you buy bottled water from supermarkets ONLY do not buy from street dealers, occasionally they will refill bottles with the safety seal on, i took one sip and it tasted different, but that was enough i got the worst case of god knows what from that, puked 7 times in a row crush every water bottle you buy so it cant be refilled Thank you.

If you can get past the people taking a shit on the side of the road it can be a lot of fun I used to wander around quite a bit when I was bored or when the power went out and I couldn't get any work done. The people are really nice. Crossing roads requires balls of steel the first time you do it but once you get the hang of it you'll be fine.I just loved going to all the shops and buying a heap of random food I'd never seen before. Some of it wasn't all that great but other things are so tasty you'll be back for more. Everything is so cheap it doesn't really matter if you make a mistake, just be adventurous. There was a guy who ran a general store that was always happy to see me because I never wanted change (I couldn't be bothered learning the coins). He sold the tastiest chip type things I'd ever eaten. Like others have said just drink bottled water. Remember to keep a bottle of water in the bathroom too so you can use it to clean your teeth. I luckily only got sick once and it was only for around 2 days (out of ~30) but you feel pretty rotten either way. Only other pro tip I can think of apart from the whole bottled water thing is to make sure you buy an electric mosquito repellant thing and have it on in your bedroom non stop. A mosquito net is good too but I found a combination worked best. Looks something like this: ![[image loading]](http://media.onsugar.com/files/2011/01/02/2/89/898472/4feed0e385f52ef3_electric_mosquito_repellent.jpg) I spent the first few nights without it and I looked like I had chicken pox it was so bad. I'm guessing this would vary by area though. I'm not sure how badly mosquitos effect Delhi and Goa. Most important thing is to have a good time. India is a lot of fun if you want it to be, there is a lot of tasty food to be had (which I am a big fan of). | ||

Thanks for the tip, but I'm not really a fan of alcohol to be honest. | ||
