Would you please elaborate? India's on my "list" of places to visit,
but I'm intimidated because 1) I'm used to hiring a car and driving
myself around, and everybody I tell that to says I should hire a
driver, too, 2) the place is so big, the distances between gee-cool
places are so far. And the 3) extent to which its "3rd worldiness" and
the palm-greasing maybe necessary.

Thanks much,
