having traveled to india,-albeit some time ago. there are always expenses one does not think about right away-different type of electricity etc...no problem when went, had no laptop then..

anyway, good luck and safe trip to Howie(pussim)-imo-it is good he is going.. I don't fret about the small stuff since I traveled to india 3 times and my first was the eye-opener-after that, no biggie....
