Toilet paper isn't standard - Most Indian bathrooms have water sprays or hand-held bidets. Carry your own tissue paper everywhere.
Cycle rickshaws are for very short distances - Best for old city areas where motorized vehicles can't reach, but negotiate price firmly beforehand.
Tourist destinations offer slight buffer - Major monuments and tourist areas have slightly more tolerance due to international visitor presence.
Festival photography offers incredible shots - Colorful celebrations provide amazing opportunities, but remember you're not just a photographer—participate!
Teaching English opportunities exist - Especially in smaller cities and rural areas, though most positions require commitment of months.
