Travel to India with all paid expenses
Vote
You find out you just won a 2-week trip to India. All expenses paid (Airplane tickets, 4-5 star hotels and an extra 2.000 dollars for personal expenses during the trip) The company hosting the event will also talk with your job/school and sort out your 2 week-absence completly so you wont have any problems at all The only major downside? You would have to cope with India's 3rd world enviroment overall Would you? --- I think that dude was a dude, dude! ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'm not going to lie, most of the mainstream stuff I see from India makes me not want to visit, but if it was free, why not? Btw, if I was a women, I wouldn't go there, no chance. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Absolutely. It would definitely make me more perspective, and appreciate the life I live in Texas a bit more. I've always been curious about their authentic street food. <_< Even though some of it might be too authentic, but that's part of the experience.

I know myself well enough to know that while seeing it with my own eyes would be cool, Id be frustrated by the language barrier, constantly uncomfortable by the living conditions and weather, and I would generally dislike the food. I just dont think it would be a very fun vacation for me. Itd be more like a two week endurance test with some sightseeing of historic locations occasionally mixed in. --- Hey Trashcan Man!
