Where To Buy Bodybuilding Supplements In India?

Traveling to India. A million Questions (Clothes, health, customs, tips)?

• Namaste, I am traveling to India in a few months. OCT. Please help! Oy....I am not sure what to take, what to wear, how to stay healthy... Well, here are some things I know.....so far. I am trying to prepare myself well and to avoid as much cultural shock feeling as possible. I would like to be as relaxed and comfortable as possible while I stay so that I can enjoy all so much more....Any you can answer or have time to answer, I would be so grateful. (Thank you) Things I know already. 1. Watch the cab meters and pre determine distance/price. 2. Everyone will try to price everything up because I am foreign so haggle away.... 3. Men will stare at me constantly cause I'm white as a snowflake. 4. Don't take buses or trains. 5. Eat only hot fresh foods 6. Don't walk out at night alone 7. Don't wear too revealing of clothes (especially showing cleavage) 8. Don't carry too much money (wear a money belt) 1. Can I use tap water to brush teeth without getting sick (most likely) 2. Do I have to get inoculations to travel to/in India from USA? and what is your view on them effective/not so on.... (I am very health conscious and am not kean on having the shots because of how they are very poor for health but maybe I have no choice "shots or disease") I heave read some places that they are not proven to be very effective and natural pre immunity boosting precautions may be just as effective (herbs and supplements) I really could use some opinions on this. I will be in the Jaipur area. How prevalent are mosquitoes? I am going in Oct. What is the likelihood of illness from mosquitoes and what kind of illnesses? I hate using insect repellent (unless someone has a more natural suggestion) DEETS is so horrible for health. 3. What are things like there as far as utilities and laundry. where do you wash clothes? 4. What are bathrooms like (I have heard there are very different facilities) but that more than half the world uses this type. Where are restrooms out and about, usually, and are they safe to use? 5. Should I bring germex (alcohol hand sanitizer?) I have sensitive skin and have heard that India has mostly a powdered soap from UK, Not sure if that will bother my skin too much. Can you buy gemex in India? (By the way, for anyone else that might wish to know, germex or similar products kill way more germs than soap and it would take 30 seconds of scrubbing at least, to do same job with soap and water. If you were EU or US and went to India for the first time....How did you feel and how did you adjust? Did you get used to the different bathrooms, food, and accommodation style ways...? What are showers like? 6. Did you get sick from water or food? If so, how long did it last and what medicine should I bring? 7. Can I bring any natural supplements into India when traveling on a tourist visa? And if so, how do I find out what ones are allowed? 8. What should I wear near Jaipur? I wear jeans a lot and sleeveless shirts and sometimes skirts. If I keep skirts down to half calf or ankle and my sleeveless shirts do not show cleavage, will I be ok? Or am I taking my safety in my own hands? I want to be comfortable without being too flashy or tempting trouble, but I like to dress as much like myself as possible and not like someone else. I love fashion but I respect culture. Please, any suggestions or advice would be so appreciated. 9. Where is the cheapest place to get good bottled water? and how much should I buy at once? I drink a lot and will drink even more there, I am sure..... 10. Are men in Jaipur respectful generally? Do I need to avoid taxi's alone? And I have heard buses and trains are very iffy (that is putting it mildly) is this same in Jaipur? 11. Are there any short and cheap courses to learn Hindi in Jaipur? where you can begin anytime of year and take only for as long as you wish? 12. What are beds like (for sleeping) are they soft, hard, futon, on floor? Are they usually clean in hotels or hostels? (any suggestions for cheap, clean, and safe places to stay in Jaipur)? 13. Do I need to bring any kind of lock for my door? or baggage? 14. Is it safe for my to drink juice there? or will I get sick (likely)? 15. what kind of electrical outlet adapters will I need to bring for my blow dryer and flat iron? 16.

Should I not wash and just peel? 17. are open toe sandals acceptable and is it rude to wear bare feet when you are at someones home that you know (good friend) 18. Should I try to eat with left hand always? (I read that all Indian people only eat with left hand) Should I observe the same? 19.
