What do you think would be an average daily budget that is comfortable enough to pay for food and certain sightseeing trips? Can you share some ideas? Thanks.

Is it possible to open a temporary bank account where I could transfer some money to spend while in India in order to avoid big bank commissions when trying to withdraw money from ATM's?

Do taxis in India have meters or do you need to do some bargaining with the driver? If they have a fixed price, do you think there is a chance that you could get ripped off because you are a tourist and you don't know the local places? How can you avoid being in a situation like this?

Stories about Yetis and Big Foot have always fascinated me since I was a child. It would be really cool if they actually existed! I wonder what they would be like :)

I have never heard of samosas. They really sound delicious! What other ingredients do people use to stuff them apart from meat? Are there any vegetarian options?

I would also love to visit either a brewery or a winery if that is possible. Where can we find information about this? Do you think it's allowed?

I don't really think that people would expect you to do that if you are a tourist. I wouldn't mind doing it though if it meant that I would be rude otherwise.

I think I wouldn't mind traveling with someone I meet online as long as we have separate hotel rooms. After all, don't we all travel to meet new people?

Wow that sounds like fun! I have only ever seen elephants on television and at the zoo. I wonder what it feels like to ride one!

That depends on where you will go exactly. What state will you be visiting? What kind of coking are you interested in? Indian cuisine is diverse and there are so many regional dishes that are specific to different areas.

My friend told me about the milk vendors. She said it was perfectly fine and pasteurized. However, I don't remember what were the colors for though.

I was wondering about night life in Bangalore? Can you suggest any nice pubs and night clubs that are respectful and fun? Thank you in advance!

I agree with Aurora; motorbikes can be seriously dangerous. You would be better off taking taxis because they can take you anywhere and you don't have to worry about your safety.

As you may know, a lot of Malaysians are Indians by origin. When I visited Malaysia, I went to a lot of Indian restaurants that served banana leaf rice. Can I find this everywhere in India or is it specific to a certain area?

This may be a silly question, but I would like to ask: are there a lot of wi-fi spots in India where I could get connected on my phone? If yes, how is the connection?
