Actually, they don't, I was trying to be kind. In reality, like us, they think you're a delusional gobtulipe.

Originally posted by tazdevil View PostI've been to Calcutta and its a bit of a cesspit and I believe decent property in Bombay is in another league regarding housing costs.
We stayed in a block that was called "Sunny Towers", commissioned by a rich Calcutta businessman and cricket fanatic. He named it thus after "Sunil "Sunny" Gavaskar, the famous Indian cricketer who was the beneficiary of the top floor apartment.
Nice place but horrendously overpriced.
He wanted 3 months rent upfront, in Rupees at a time when the rupee was worth about 50 to the Pound and 50 was also the highest denomination note.
My driver near kacked himself when he saw me walking back across 6 lanes of traffic to the car from the Bank with armfuls of the dosh.

However, if you are there without your family (as is generally the case) there are a number of hotels that will work out a lot cheaper.
Just depends how much importance you attach to sanitation etc. Be prepared to spend an inordinate amount of time dealing with "comfort breaks" irrespective of wherever you may lay your head.
