I think, like in most countries, it depends on who you are and whether you live here:
Or here: 
Oh dear, this just takes me back to the stereotypes about North America influenced travellers. You should definitely give the country a miss and not take a ride on the 2 highest motorable roads in the world through the Himalayas.
Khardung La at 17.5 k feet and Marsimik La at 18.5k feet.
This is a solid philosophy. I think instead of wasting money in China, one should simply order a plate of fried wontons.
Anyway, upon finishing Mark Twains excellent book I stumbled across a page with a handwritten note from the previous owner quoting someone known as Keith Bellows. I found it incredibly accurate and it might resonate with Gringo Bob who is travelling there :
India is such a place. When I first visited, I was stunned by the richness of the land, by its lush beauty and exotic architecture, by its ability to overload the senses with the pure, concentrated intensity of its colors, smells, tastes, and sounds. It was as if all my life I had been seeing the world in black and white and, when brought face-to-face with India, experienced everything re-rendered in brilliant technicolor.
Good point…for every slum we also have towers like this :
In fact,when i was in Banglore for few months…i used to work in a company located in one of these towers…
durrr gtfo
India => 
travel tip - dont travel there lol
Dude he’s just pulling your leg. Dont bite.
typical. ur either living like srk or rahul.
Mumbai is a complete shitstain. Who in their right mind would want to visit ? no thank you to getting dysentery and dealing with brown people 24/7.
You’re on a wind up eh? That’s ok, I’ll bite.
It is impossible not to be astonished by India. Nowhere on Earth does humanity present itself in such a dizzying, creative burst of cultures and religions, races and tongues. Enriched by successive waves of migration and marauders from distant lands, every one of them left an indelible imprint which was absorbed into the Indian way of life. Every aspect of the country presents itself on a massive, exaggerated scale, worthy in comparison only to the superlative mountains that overshadow it. It is this variety which provides a breathtaking ensemble for experiences that is uniquely Indian. Perhaps the only thing more difficult than to be indifferent to India would be to describe or understand India completely. There are perhaps very few nations in the world with the enormous variety that India has to offer. Modern day India represents the largest democracy in the world with a seamless picture of unity in diversity unparalleled anywhere else.
^See, that’s how you source something.
That was an interesting survey surprisingly.
A quick glance shows cities like Mumbai, Beijing, Rio De Janeiro, Moscow and Dubai make the list. I would be absolutely speechless if someone decided to give those cities a skip based on a survey that uses metrics like ‘ease of public transport’. It takes the word pampered to a whole new level.
The global re-distribution of wealth is perhaps the defining story of our lifetimes and I would think getting a glimpse of it first hand in addition to the unique characteristics of the individual country would be an experience that would make the inconvenience of mud on the soles of one’s shoe bearable. Different strokes for different folk, I suppose.
Predictably, the top few cities were European and thankfully the boring, bland and soulless cities of Canada are nowhere to be seen.
Mumbai is shit for tourism. There is really nothing to see except for a bit of decaying victorian architecture in Colaba that you can basically see in about 15 minutes. Skip Mumbai for tourism. Go there for business.
Hmm, I disagree.
The embrace of free market principles have given rise to a previously non-existent middle class. As of 2007 Mckinsey numbers them to be around 50 million by global standards or the size of most European nations and by 2020 growth is expected to accelerate and projected to reach anywhere between 300 million and 600 million by 2030 / 40.
The world inherited by our children will be drastically different from ours. All that remains for the ‘shit to hit the fan’ is the slightly psycopathic Putin succeding in creating a parallel oil currency which he is attempting to do.
^ mate, you’re barking up the wrong tree. this forum has a collective boner for Putin, seemingly based upon the fact that he’s a complete and utter cunt…
Regardless, let us just focus on the common ground that we have established; that is, the status of Canada as a bland, boring and soulless wasteland.
