In Rajasthan there is a local language, Rajasthani. Hindi and English are also common, as well as Marwari and Gujarati. I met three people today who each speak five languages fluently. They inspired me to be a life-long language learner!
Rupees are used all throughout India.
My mom and I stayed in a tourist area, which means water is a little more expensive because the sellers know that tourists will pay more money. A bottle is about 40 rupees. Do you remember how many rupees there are in a U.S. dollar?
The night before my mom and I left Dehradun to travel to Rajasthan, we had dinner with all of my hostel friends. We ordered dinner family style and shared incredible chicken dishes. Mughlai Chicken was my favorite. It's made with cashews, ginger, onion, chilies and a variety of spices including cinnamon and turmeric.
