"India- Land of Color" a India Travel Page by Exceptional_World

Indian people are very friendly and giving. Don't let the national pasttimes of haggling and overcharging fool you. They are all very genuine people. If you take a train ride somewhere, you will no doubt make a friend or two and be invited to share a meal. You most likely will also run into someone who absolutely must have their picture taken with you. Don't be self-conscious- just have fun and pretend you're a movie star!

No matter where you go- whether its the lowliest street vendor or the fanciest restaurant, you will get good food in India! The range of cuisines is immense. For example, in North India, they cater to North Indians as well as the surrounding regions that include China, Tibet, Pakistan, Punjab, and the southern regions of India. Indian food is full of color and complexity. Cooking, enjoying and understanding the medicinal value of food is very important to the people of India. Most restaurants offer a digestif after your meal which consists of a caraway type seed with sugar. However, some of the locals prefer pan masala, which consists of betel nut. Alcohol is not very common in most areas.
