Bangalore Warnings Or Dangers Tips by ChuckG Top 5 Page for this destination

Beware the customs guys !

WARNING !!!

When I arrived in Bangalore last June, I had 5 huge white cross on my big suitcase...they scanned my suitcase 3 different times and marked on a paper the electronics (CD player, camera, computer) that was inside, I found this very suspicious.

Last time I was in India, I had a full suitcase stolen at customs, so this time I was watching them carefully.

After they took inventory of the electronics in my suitcase, they sent me to an office where a guy in uniform asked me how much money I would give him (to keep my stuff).

I told him, very angry, that I have been often (well...!) to Bangalore and that he would not get a single rupee...

He looked quite surprised but let me go !

Don't let them steal you !!!!

Water and Ice...

Everyone will tell you...if you are not from India avoid non-bottled water. Ask for bottled water in restaurant (safe) and resist water fountain. What I forgot was to also think "NO ICE" if ordering a drink in a bar.

Next think I knew, I got stomach cramps for the next 4 weeks (and I'm not kidding !)

Those ice cube were cursed !!
