In either case, bring money in buckets, given the current £/ Rs conversion ratio and the fact that Britain is the most expensive country you would ever visit, barring Norway. It will suddenly put other countries' prices in perspective.<BR/><BR/>If in southern Europe, whatever you bring, keep redundancy. Purse-snatching is an art form in Spain and Italy. Sorry for generalising but few have escaped it in my knowledge.<BR/><BR/>UK cinema tickets in London are about £9-12, and tube travel the most expensive per mile anywhere in the world and walking IS faster and cheaper. That said, all our museums's resident collections are free, and some travelling expos charge but not a lot. Discounts for students with STA cards, old people and I am sure journalists are available.Shefaly Yogendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12117508079407216918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1163143865689927412006-11-10T13:01:00.000+05:302006-11-10T13:01:00.000+05:30Completely agree on the dollar economy part of Ind...Completely agree on the dollar economy part of India..Prices in parts of Mumbai have reached ridiculous levels..the total cost of watching a movie (ticket,drinks,travel,etc) is cheaper than a trip to inox from say parel.Jayeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735180882715423031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1163000286371623752006-11-08T21:08:00.000+05:302006-11-08T21:08:00.000+05:30Watched it.

If you look at the cast, ...It is a very good movie. If you look at the cast, most of them are established actors and expected to do well. But the pic of the lot was DeCaprio. He is slowly getting out of that choclate boy image of his. BTW, watsup with your post? Were you writing a review for The Departed, or were you comparing Singapore and India? It is almost as if you started off at the north pole and ended up at the south pole, on this post.Raghuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16803908820392097584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1162822291012065322006-11-06T19:41:00.000+05:302006-11-06T19:41:00.000+05:30Scorsese is a gr8 director i must say ,followed hi...Scorsese is a gr8 director i must say ,followed him from the movie aviator and i think it was really good ,hope to catch this movie soon after ur reviewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9605787.post-1162814914448613242006-11-06T17:38:00.000+05:302006-11-06T17:38:00.000+05:30Great movie!
