India is home to a great culture and religion more influential in the world. Traveling to the country more than 1 billion people is an attractive, especially for those who want to learn the culture long Ganges. But you know these tricks fool prone to encounter when the land was not?
1. Introduction of taxi drivers
If your taxi driver tells you that the hotel you have booked in advance is closed, burned or changed your name, don't believe it yet. They are eager to take you to another hotel to get commission. And so bad you can't ask them for the best local food in town, because they will lead you to the relative's place, not the best place.
2. Fake SIM card
Be wary when buying sim card in India. To get a valid sim card, You will have to fill out an information sheet, submit a copy of your passport, and 2 photo card. If you do not have to do these procedures, that means you must buy a fake sim and lose it 500 rupee without being able to make a single call. Go straight to the Vodaphone main office, Idea or whatever vendor you choose.
3. Road charges
If the police stop your taxi and ask to pay for the maintenance of the road, they are cheating you. The taxi driver can collude with the police and say that you will not be able to go unless you pay the fee, pay a fine or pay taxes. Sometimes you can't do anything but give them money. But you need to know that the money is not going to go to the road maintenance fund but to their beer mugs.
4. Money change
Be careful when giving money to taxi drivers or shop owners. Chances are you give them 1.000 rupee and they said you were new 100 rupee. To avoid this from happening, when giving money, Make it clear how much you give and ask them to confirm. If you ask a passerby for help, Maybe the driver or the owner suddenly finds himself at fault.
5. Fake cashmere
“Pashmina? Cashmere? Only cost 1,000 rupees!"You will never have such a cheap fake, real cashmere. You can haggle down to longer 500 rupee but that will just be silk. However, some fake cashmere are really beautiful. And if you are not for quality, then maybe that's not a bad choice either.
6. The shop sells fake train tickets
This happens all over the world and you can only perceive it by your own feelings and experiences. But take note, Delhi is one of the worst places in the world.
7. Gift bracelets
Children or the elderly “venerable” will give you garlands or wrap red cloth around your wrists and say “It is a gift”. But not a free gift, okay?. Please refuse.
8. Hồ Pushkar
This is so cute and scary. The priest will agree to do a blessing ceremony for your family at the cost of 100 rupee. He will ask how many people are in your family and pray for each member of your family. But then he would speak “Maybe you are wrong, 100 rupee is for one person. If you don't pay 500 rupee for 5 who I just prayed, I will curse your whole family.” The best advice for you is not to do this ceremony because their lies will not do an inspirational prayer..
9. Prepaid hotel
If you pay for the room in advance, Please request a receipt or certificate. If not, You may be charged for money after check-out. They will swear to death, swear you haven't paid. If you haven't paid yet, ask them to write the agreed price on a piece of paper, to make sure you don't get charged “wrong” Room Rates.
10. The help of strangers
Strangers on the street will ask for your help as directions, helps you find something and then asks you to pay. If you go to places where there are many tourists like Varanasi and someone approaches you, Tell you about the city, the next step is they will ask for money. The sad thing is, as soon as you say you don't need it, they say it “Oh no, are not, I just want to be friends with you.”. But then it's not like that.
