Language is the best way to communication. Different type of people speak different type of language but English is common language who speak in all over the world. People must get information about language before travelling.

Sights to See When Taking the Golden Triangle Tour in India
The Golden Triangle tour of India is by far the most popular tourist route through North India. The raw Golden Triangle takes you
through Delhi, Agra (home of the Taj Mahal) and Jaipur (the capital of Rajasthan state). However, the tour often includes extensions,
such as Ranthambhore - famous for its jungle tiger safaris and Shimla - summer home of the British Raj.
When starting in Delhi, it can be a big culture shock to suddenly be immersed in such a loud, bustling and crowded place! However,
after a little adjustment it can be an amazing place to be introduced to India. There are plenty of famous spots to see in Delhi, such as
the Parliament House, India Gate, Gandhi's cremation site and also Gandhi's house! Taking a cycle-rickshaw ride through the narrow
streets of Old Delhi bazaar (market) is also a must.
The next destination on the agenda is Agra. Agra is the home of the incredibly well-known Taj Mahal. The Taj truly is as amazing as it
is said to be. It is well worth using a guide to explain the beautiful history behind this amazing monument. The story of how Shah
Jahan built the Taj in memory of his late, beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, in the 1700's. Upon Mumtaz Mahals deathbed, Shah Jahan
promised her that he would never marry and that he would build the richest and most magnificent tomb for her memory. The story
has been melting hearts since it's creation in the 1600's. The Taj Mahal took 22 years and a whopping 22,000 workers to construct.
It is very common to visit Ranthambhore after Agra, to experience the Indian jungle on a tiger safari game drive. To reach
Ranthambhore, the route is to drive to Bharatpur and board the train from there. The drive is around an hour, an hour and a half and
the train is then around 2 and a half hours. In Ranthambhore, the atmosphere is rather peaceful and a complete contrast to the hustle
and bustle of Delhi. The town is small, natural and completely revolves around the tourism from Ranthambhore National Park. There
are two safaris per day, one in the morning (between 6:30am - 10am) and again in the afternoon (2:30pm - 6pm). There are also two
different vehicles to choose from, a small 6 seater jeep or a larger 20 seater open-bus canter. When on safari in Ranthambhore
National Park, you can see the Tiger, Leopard, Sloth Bear, Sambar Deer, Wild Boar and many many more species of animals, plants
and birds.
The next stop is Jaipur. To reach Jaipur from Ranthambhore is around a 4 hour drive. Jaipur, nicknamed the 'Pink City' is the capital
of Rajasthan state and is famous for its beautiful royal buildings. It screams out stories of it's royal past everywhere you look. On the
Golden Triangle tour, it is popular to visit the Ambar Fort in Jaipur in order to ride an elephant up the fort entrance into the fort. The
elephant holds two people, plus one elephant driver, for lack of a better term! After the elephant ride, you should visit the City Palace
and the Hawa Mahal - beautiful examples of Indian architecture which are very well preserved. The Jantar Mantar is also a must. The
Jantar Mantar was built in the 1700's and is an observatory. Extremely accurate, the jantar mantar provides information on the sun,
time of day along with the positions of the stars and the zodiac.

Adapting To British Culture
If you are planning to travel to England on a vacation or study abroad adventure, you are likely expecting to make a smooth cultural transition. After all, you are traveling to a country where you speak the native language, making social interactions easy. If you have never before traveled to England, however, you may be surprised at the differences between American and British culture. Learning what to expect prior to your travels will make your experience in England all the more successful and enjoyable.
You'll likely find people in England to be a bit more reserved than you are used to. By contrast, Americans are often considered by other countries to be bold, open, and even too friendly. Do not be offended if people you meet seem cold or unfriendly. Rather, try to be a bit more reserved yourself so as to avoid making anyone uncomfortable. Do not ask personal questions of those whom you do not know well. You should respect the privacy of strangers.
Respect the personal space of those you meet. The British are not generally demonstrative. Kissing, hugging, and backslapping are reserved only for close friends and family. Even prolonged eye contact can make others uncomfortable. When meeting someone, a polite handshake is an appropriate form of greeting.
Most people in England strive to be very courteous. Men and women hold open doors for one another. People tend to apologize readily, even if incidents are not particularly their fault. Remember to apologize and excuse yourself if you accidentally brush up against others in a crowded place, as you will appear rude if you do not acknowledge the small invasion.
The English often enjoy entertaining others in their homes. If you are invited, it is customary to bring a small gift such as wine or candy, just as you would in the United States. It is also important to send a thank-you note afterwards. Even if you wouldn't normally send a thank-you note after a dinner with friends in the United States, making this effort is important in England.
Table manners are of the utmost importance, so when you are having meals with others, you should keep in mind everything your parents taught you about polite dining. The only difference will be that your knife and fork will change hands in the style of Continental dining. If this is too awkward for you, your dining companions will likely understand. With practice and by watching others, however, you should be able to quickly pick up the Continental style of eating.
