Hi! I was on the Rajasthan Safari over Xmas and New Year and had a fabulous time! Our bus broke down one day on the main road between Jojawar and Ajmer ( on the way to Pushkar)at a place called Jawaja.
We entertained ourselves and the villagers by taking loads of photos. Rather than risk the erratic postal services I was wondering if anyone going on this same trip in the next month or 2 would like to take a packet of photos with them to hand over to the kids and villagers. It would make for a great impromtu stop and I bet the locals would be thrilled to see you and the pictures.
Let me know if you're interested in helping!
By the way, there is still a shoe scam in Delhi. When you're distracted, someone ( usually a shoe shine man) squirts a runny substance which looks like shit onto your shoe(s) and then offers to take them away to clean them up. If you fall for this, he will then disappear with them and he or his side-kick will return to demand payment for their return.
A scam at the metro stations - if you don't have the exact change and hand over a 100 rupee note make sure they give you ALL your change back. They push back 30 rupees and some coins change and if you're in a hurry you may not realise that they haven't also given you the other 50 rupee note. Nice work if you can get it!
