Dude the Oberoi doesnt have a disco/pub, where did you go ? You may be mistaken with the names. For the friendship clubs look in the Times of India , in the classified section. They will usually written as clubs for 'broadminded' men and women.
Yes the Taj Palace is very family oriented, you will find many family functions happening in the many banquet halls in the basement. During the winter this is a major venue for weddings. There are lots of other really good hotels, but you picked a great one too.
Portman:
West Patel Nagar is certainly not somewhere I visit often, so cant say much about the place. I have never heard of the hotels you mentioned and they are certainly smaller guest house types and those may be good for getting girls over. Foodwise, Patel nagar has great food places but not for the faint of stomach. You will indeed get lots of chicken but also lots of lamb. Seafood mainly consists of fish and prawns in small restaurants but big hotels can have more choice, you obviously pay more and I would only advise you to eat seafood in reputed places. Stale seafood will certainly make you sick. If you will have a car it will be easy to travel because the hip part of Delhi is south Delhi and you will have trouble getting there. Delhi is HUGE and travelling will be invovled everywhere, the public transport system is very confusing and you other options are cabs which can be expensive

Aqua,
You information is right on target. Although my experience in India is not as extensive as yours, I agree with you in regards to your advise of food, lots of chicken and lamb, and stick to reputable resturants when it comes to seafood. A real treat is the resturant in the Sheraton, which is usually very crowded after 9. However, I would like to add one thing, there is a large variety of chicken dishes in India, many spiecy dishes and some may be hot to the tongues of some but in my opinion their delicious.
I was hoping that maybe you would have some information regarding Calcutta. Granted it has not kept pace with Delhi and Mumbai as of recent, nevertheless, it is a large city and there should be some action. I just can't seem to find it. Any advise will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Yeah Baby

Hey Aqua,
Normally Sheraton in Delhi has never been a problem for me. However I guess it might be getting little difficult because last week when I was staying there ,while sitting in the lobby I noticed a girl ( looked like a pro ) walking towards the elevator who was stopped quickly by the security.
They asked the girl to wait at the concierge desk while one the manager made call to the guest who had called this girl. The girl was made to sit in the lobby because apparently the guest was coming down to fetch her. I could see the girl was nervous like hell and was making calls from her mobile phone. She waited for 20 mints while the security kept an eye on her from far. The guest didn't turn up and the girl finally got up and walked out of the hotel very fast.
I could see the security guy and two of the managers talking and thinking about stopping the girl or not and they finally decided to let her walk out. I thought it was all over but I was wrong. In an hours time I saw a guy shouting loudly in the lobby and that was the guest who has called this girl . He was saying that this girl from his office came to meet and she was stopped and harassed in the lobby. He was shouting on top of his voice and called for the lobby manager and the security guy.
The lobby manager took this guy to a corner table in the lobby and they sat and started explaining and suddenly I heard this guy saying Mother Fuc*** in Hindi together with much more heavy stuff to these guys and that was so loud that everyone on the lobby stopped and looked what was happening.....the managers were helpless and were unable to stop this guy , so they just requested him to come to one of the offices and finally they vanished.
It was a unusual scene for a 5 star hotel and the hotel staff went through hell of a humiliation and insult. I am sure they will be more careful at least for a while in stopping more girls thinking it might back fire.
Aqua, you are doing good service for this forum. Keep it up Mate.

Yeah Baby,
Calcutta is the cheapest place and value for money as far as whoring around goes in this country! Maybe you should try befriending the Hotel manager. Pile him with some drinks and ask him to show you the classy places in Sonegachi. Sonegachi is the redlight area there. You shoul definitely not miss out on the action there. Else tell him to find you a guide who willl take you around to fuck!
Regards

Aqua,
Thanks again for the info. As the date for the trip draws near I am getting a bit nervous. I know this is a stupid question, but it is of great concern to me. I am left-handed. Is it true I have to eat with my right hand or people will freak out?
Another concern I have is clothing. I am 6'4 and weigh 290. Are there big and tall clothing stores there?
Thirdly, is there a "yellow pages" web site I can browse all businesses through?
I am thinking of renting a motorcycle while in Delhi. Any suggestions?
And finally, have any of you guys tried the escorts on yahoo member profiles?
Thanks in Advance,
Portman

You can with the left hand. Some people may stare but don't let it bother you. However. try to use the right hand like shaking hand, giving money etc. (here is the reason: traditionally the left hand is used to wash your behind after using the toilet. So it is considered unclean even though one has washed it with soap after use.)
There are no big & tall stores. But there are lots of tailors who will be able to make your clothes very cheaply. Ask your contacts for good tailors.
Yes there is a yellow page of sorts. I think one of them is published o a CD Rom
Look at the traffic first before you decide to rent a motorcycle. It is not for the fainthearted. You are better off with a rented AC car for less than $15 for 8 hrs and that includes the driver and petrol (gas). Current rate is Rs. 650 for a small car like that.
never tried the yahoo so can't help there.
Keep a good sense of humor, and if you ignore the poverty in some places you will have a great time.

Thanks again for the advice guys. I've been practicing wiping my ass with my left hand. Next week, I'm even going to try it with paper!
I've decided not to drive at all. THe training company will be picking me up and dropping me off every morning. When I need to go out and make a donation, I'll call a cab.
I've never been to a custom tailor but am looking forward to it.
Thanks again!

Hey Rocker,
Yeah that sounds very typical of a scenario in a 5 star hotel. I have seen such scenes myself, being a resident of Delhi, obviously i dont want to be in that position. The security guards can be a real pain sometimes and would even accompany the girl all the way to the room, that can be quite embarrassing also. And by then the girl is usually such a nervous wreck that you can forget about any GFE.

Portman,
Dont worry at all about being left handed, most people will not even notice. Many people here too are left handed so there is nothing to worry. As long as you are not sitting there naked while eating your food, I dont think anyone would mind :).
As Duniawal said, there arent any specific big and tall stores like they have in the US but yes tailors are available in plenty and can make whatever you desire. If you have something you would like duplicated, that would be the easiest.
There are many such yellow pages sites but I dont know how good or bad they might be, some are : www.indiamart.com , www.getitindia.com .
Quite a few people rent motorcycles, you can ask your hotel for contacts. I dont personally know any place that rent them out but aside from the traffic and weather it should be ok. I would suggest you watch the traffic for a day or two and get a sense of the nearby areas before you venture out to get a bike.
I have never tried the yahoo member escorts, nor have I heard of anyone that did. Just in the last week there have been a number of newspaper articles about the business in Delhi and included names like Poornima Bhatt etc. This is in light of the recent crackdown on many working girls.
In the last bust they mentioned arresting some CIS girls in Anand Niketan (a locality in New Delhi), my main contact was in Anand Niketan and I think she is the one who got busted.

Portman,
I just have to say, as a fellow motorcycle rider, be careful. Driving a car alone is difficult enough in India but driving a motorcycle can be down right suiacidal. Shagging has enough risks involved, my advise would be to keep off the motorcylce but keep your "helmet" on.
Santa, Thanks for the tip will look into it this week.
Have fun shagging,
Yeah Baby

BodyRockerforU is right. I was in the Sheraton for two nights and called over my regular girl both nights. We were both playing cat and mouse with the security guards. We went up to the coffeeshop, where they followed us, then we went down to the executive lounge where they followed us again, before they got tired and walked away after an hour.
Doesn't seem like that way at other hotels in the city. Just avoid staying at the hotel, their service is going down the toilet anyway.

I think I'll stick with taxis.
I am in need of a detailed map of delhi.
I'd also like to hear of anyone's experiences on GB Road.
If anyone knows the approximate price of a tailored business shirt, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
Do medications require prescriptions in Delhi? Just wonderring whether i should buy before I arrive.
Are there any websites that advertise massage parlors ?
Oh yes, and how much does a Dominos Large pepperoni, onion, and black olive pizza cost?
I am getting down to the fine detail of my budget.

take an eicher (brand name) map of new delhi its one of the better ones. available at any book store
i'd also like to hear of anyone's experiences on gb road.
if anyone knows the approximate price of a tailored business shirt, i'd appreciate hearing about it.
you get readymade shirts arrow say for 1200 rupees i.e.usd $ 26 or so, tailored shirts will also cost you approx the same price.
do medications require prescriptions in delhi? just wonderring whether i should buy before i arrive.
nope dont need a medical prescription for most drugs
are there any websites that advertise massage parlors?
look up the times of india classified section. however they are not very clean(massage parlours)
oh yes, and how much does a dominos large pepperoni, onion, and black olive pizza cost?
about 4-5 usd
i am getting down to the fine detail of my budget.

Portman, I would skip the Pizza in Delhi if you live anyhwere near the east coast of the USA. It's one of the few foods in India that is nearly intolerable. Also, screw the map and get yourself a good driver who is comfortable with English. When you arrive you'll understand how silly it is to think you'll be able to navigate yourself (let alone ride a motorcycle). Many of the local papers advertise for massage, however, I wold read the previous threads from this section to educate yourself on the specifics of this activity. I was there for a few months this year and decided against it with the recent crackdown on prostitution the government has launched. Best of luck, have fun and stay the fuck away from GB road unless you are immune to all STD's.
