I'm thinking Bangalore will be a great place to have some shirts made.
Anybody ever done that?
What's the cloth selection like? I expect pure fine cotton, and like colorful prints.

Is there anything you can´t get in India.. has anyone tried to find something and not been able to..

Can you get toothpaste for sensitive teeth out there? Probably can but I´d hate to be without it :0/

Aruvedic toothpaste would be good for sensitive teeth I guess!!

I've seen Sensodyne in Goa, but that might be an exception, I doubt you could get that brand everywhere in India but then Goa itself is the original Exception..........

Great job, I´ll remember to bookmark it so I can refer friends to it.

A couple of years ago, my doctor advised me to use Sensoform for a couple of months. It is for sensitive teeth and can only be bought from a chemist/pharmacist.

Check this link: Sensoform

It is all I could get off the net in a short search.

Hi

In delhi now! Noticed prices are a alot more expensive than l had budgeted for, esp in GK 2 , South DElhi! Start my course on Thursday, feel like l could do with a few more weeks off! Where l live is great, in terms of area, l've got alkanda market 10 minutes walk away in 1 direction and in the other the very posh gk2 m block market, which is where l'm going all too frequently! Will be coming on from time to time and if anyones in delhi ask away for any advice and thanks 2 everyone for their advice b4 my trip, jaz

Wow, coming to India I'm surprised at how expensive brand name shampoo, soap, deodorant etc. is. Nivea Deodorant for Rs. 150 (you pay half that in Thailand)

Sat on a beach in Goa, watching the sun go down while people back home are freezing in the snow .
