Bonjour. Please visit our country and please be advised that it is an acceptable practise to take more money from tourists everywhere. Please think of additional amount as tip. I know thats unfair but sometime even before my birth white tourists have given the locals this kind of image about rich guys and it continues. I also find it touching that you too feel for our poor. Regarding safety, you are as safe as any other Indian citizen ,in fact safer as you can get away with many things that Indians cannot. But stay away from Bars and drug dens. Nothing can be done if you get into that loop
