Stayed at Midland, Hotel - Mumbai (Bombay), India.

Train station is only 3 minutes walking distance and convenient, but you should avoid the rush hour. Autos are always in front of the hotel and I had no problem to go anywhere with the meters.

Stayed at Agra Ashok, Hotel - Agra, India.

The place visited was very pretty. Taj is the prettiest thing I every seen. The resturant slide your credit card then came to tell you that you have a decline card. One evening I went to this resturant next the hotel. After eating, I tried to pay by credit card. I tried two cards and my companion tried two cards. I was told all four card decline. I told me credit card where I will travelling, so that they would not get alarm when they see all these foreign charges. I have a high credit limit on my cards, so does my companion. But I later learn the Indians tactics, they want cash, Instead of tell me stories, they should ask for cash, I would have pay with cash. The food was delicious and cheap. But playing games is too much.

The place was filty, hot and traffice was so hard to get around. In all the best time might be in the cool months. Beware of taxi drivers, auto drivers or anyone on the street. They are out to part you with your money. Beware. Ticket at the train station is a big hassle. Tourist office is of big help, but if you have a problem, they cannot solve it. The lines are hard at the counter. The ticket agent tried to get 100 rupees out of me, by tell me I gave him less. What a bull. I counted infront of him and he tells me it is incorrect. What a sham. Beware. In other words, beware of everyone. I am still awaiting to meet some one in India who is friendly and not want to part with my funds.
Love to learn the culture and visit some homes. I was planning in giving some family support. But I decline due to my expereince. Beware. Don't belive what they say. I will definetly go back to India. This time well prepare. Bewarrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeee.

Stayed at Best Western The Emerald - Mumbai (Bombay), India.

This was our first visit to Singapore as a family and we were quite impressed.
The city was clean and had enough points of interest. Getting around was
easy - using cabs and public transit and food and shopping were cheap and
plentiful.

In my opinion other travellers should avoid a travel agency called "Bridge the World Tours and Travels". Despite the current political situation in Kashmir (especially close to the boarder) they will try to sell you a trip there including accomodation on a boat house. If you really want to go then get advice from your embassy before handing over any money.

One word of caution though, if you want to do shopping at the roadside stalls, beware. Once you start to flash your notes to buy items, you will be swarmed in by beggars, shoe shiners, pedlars offering their wares. They will keep on tagging you and I had to hurry up to my hotel very quickly for a little bit of privacy. Learning my lesson, the next time around I only visited the proper shops. And for India souvenir items, please visit the government sponsored emporium CCIE just opposite the street from Suba Palace. Thay have items at reasonable prices, and the most important part was that you can browse through with privacy.

Stayed at Howard Park Plaza International - Agra, India.

Be wary of taxi drivers. Drivers tend to want to take you to shops you don't want to go to. Also insist on acting as a guide and then ask for payment for the privelage.

Stayed at Supreme, The Hotel - Mumbai (Bombay), India.
|
We found the taxi drivers to be very untruthful, and basically con-artists waiting to prey on innocent tourists. This hotel was ridiculous for the price paid and the service received, it should be avoided at all costs.
