i'm going to india (mysore) to a school with university for a week. it will not be a pleasure holiday, because i have to stay most of the time at the university and listen to some lesson, but i HOPE that i will find some time to go around and make some shopping... my goal is to find a "cheap" sitar or some local instruments...
and i'm bringing my minidisc record to record some "ambient" sounds and vocals!

Don't forget about preparations for preventing yourself from amoebas!!!!!!!! It's better to be safe than sorry (you know water, fruits etc.)

A longish recording of various ambient street noises could be good too...

if you want a really good sitar, try getting to varanasi. this city/neighborhood is said to be THE place for sitars.
inform yourself about export stuff. i've heard the wood they use for making sitars is a 'protected' good, and there's something about taxes. don't know if it's true or false... well, a fine sitar shouldn't cost you more than € 150.
have fun, even if it's not a 'fun trip'.
learning things IS fun.
