Well, it's true tourists are asked to pay more than locals. I would say that is still better than treatment metted out to indians abroad. One instance is immigration officials in other countries. I would like to throw a few bucks at the immigration officials if they behaved themselves. Claude, discrimination is everywhere, in all countries. However, unlike in other countries citizens here still respect visitors (you can point out anomalies though. It's a fact there are some hooligans here, too). I agree with you on the other 9 points.
