Pushkar, India

Pushkar is an amazing place to visit - warning they will target you for charity money.

 

WARNING 1

- When you are divded by 'monks' they will tell you a bit about their history, they will then ask you about your family members and then say a blessing.

- After saying the blessing, they will count each family member and then demand charity money for each person.

- IF you are giving charity, they will only take EURO, GBP, American Dollar (it seems)

 

They will often surprise you with language abilities - in my experience, ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, SPANISH was popular.

 

CHINESE and Korean didn't work for them!

 

PLEASE BE WARNED, SUGGESTION carry a bag for your shoes.

 

Local children will come and talk to you but this will cost you. be warned.
