'''Warnings and Dangers:''' | |||
* Drink bottled water (check to confirm seal has not been broken). Do NOT drink tap water or any water served in a restaurant in a glass unless you saw it being poured from a sealed bottle. | |||
* Bring stomach medications from home that you know work, just in case. | |||
* Kolkata is mostly full of beggars. Mostly they are attracted to the foreigners. Please avoid them as much as you can so else they can spoil your peaceful visit to Kolkata. If you give money to one of them, the whole flock will come and chase you. | |||
* The traffic in Kolkata is chaotic. There are no "zipper-method" when two cars want to drive at the same time. They use the horn all the time, or at least every 5 seconds. | |||
