Dos and Don'ts

 

• As you arrive at the airport early morning, you may find a lot of beggars, please do not give them anything except some food stuffs (if you really want to).

 

EATING IN BOM

• Please carry your own drinking water from the plane OR buy from your hotel.
• If you buy soda, do not take ice, as ice is from regular water. Go for soda cans. Similarly NO ice-tea.

 

During monsoon OR otherwise please make sure the following if you eat in a restaurant:

·        Do not eat salads as they are cleaned in tap water.

·        Do not eat mint-sauce (mint-sauce if not fresh can make you sick) OR any other cold sauce, pickles.

·        Do not eat any type of yogurts.

 

So what can you eat,

·        …..anything that is hot and cooked food and nothing cold (except cold beer).

 

If you follow these instructions you can survive even in place like Cambodia.

 

About Tips.

 

1. The restaurants tips are about 10% of the bill.
2. Tips to baggage helpers, room service in the Hotel is about US $1.

 

Have a good layover.

Hope to see you soon.
