Horrible experience for a trip to Incredible India!nmThe visa fees are very high as if they do not want tourists to come, Had to go to the visa agent center 3 times and the consulate once just for a visa and I’m from the USA, for Dubai you just walk in the clean airport, no fees and you are truly welcomed, the same for Malaysia and Mexico.
Once you arrive after a long long flight you are hit with humidity and rude immigration people and custom officers that look like they are on the hunt for bribes. As soon as you leave the Mumbai airport you are welcomed with garbage in every street, people defecating and urinating in the side of building and open sewers,
Once you get to your friends home you will discover that running water is luxury and electricity is cut every few hours and is not stable, they have stabilizers at every tv and fridge to prevent it from blowing up.
Animals and insects are abundant and plentiful and bathrooms look like no one cleans it with bleach and cleaners.
poverty and wealth live side by side and its sad rich people pretend the poor do not exist except to work for them.
organized gangs of beggars are all over the main city streets.
western women are molested with mens eyes and Vulgar words.
cops look like they are after money not safety or order .
no disrespect to Indians, they are great people.
