I love real life, gritty travel experiences - this guy is way more gung-ho than I would ever be which makes it especially interesting. I'd draw the line at unidentified drugs myself!
Despite primarily being a boring business trip, my one trip to India was intense... you try getting anything done in a country where, just a few weeks before your arrival, they made 85% of all cash in the country illegal tender with less than 12 hours notice, there are queues at banks several hours long, the only legal tender note 95% of people can get is 10 rupee which is worth just about **** all and nobody wants to accept them, and the locals at the airport laugh and say 'there are no ATMs in India'.
It was ace!
