<p>hey guyz i'm going to go to india this summer for something like a aid/missions trip to a Tsunami hit area.</p>
<p>i was wondering if this kind of work would help my EC. because a lot of hard work was required to prepare for this kind of thing. i hard to work to make $1200 for the plane tickets...etc</p>
<p>would this help?</p>
<p>This has nothing to do with your post:</p>
<p>-Bring insect spay (the one with the most deet)
-smells like ass over there because of all the pollution
-dont get ripped off by all the people (they will overcharge you)
-go to Delhi Akshardham</p>
<p>kkk - <em>lol</em> thanks</p>
<p>Arent you going to the south though? (If it is the tsunami struck area).</p>
<p>Also....WHATEVER YOU DO DONT GO ON AIRINDIA!!!!!</p>
<p>yes i'm going to the south - and please answer my questions - lets not go off track</p>
<p>Im Indian</p>
<p>my advice:</p>
<ul>
<li>India for me was boring. It will probably be the same for you. </li>
<li>Bring a sleeping bag unless you like insects</li>
<li>Buy a cheap pair of shoes just for India (I ruined my favorite pair of Penguins because I took them there)</li>
<li>I would buy an ipod shuffle or something because you might get bored meeting relatives youve never seen before</li>
<li>Practice giving off fake smiles</li>
</ul>
<p>as you can see I didnt really enjoy India..and I too am going this summer</p>
<p>ps: air india blows go singapore or british air</p>
<p>kk i'm either going with emirates or gulf</p>
<p>I think it would help, after all it is community service and you raised all the money to go</p>
<p>yes it would help if you helped tsunami victims.</p>
<p>oops didnt read the tsunami thing..I thought you were being forced on some family trip</p>
<p>I want to do volenteer stuff with the tsunami things (actually I really want to tutor some village children again) but my parents are making me go on some tour of relatives ive never seen</p>
<p>btw why is htis in SAT prep lol</p>
<p>Hey i am going to india too to see my grandparents this summer!</p>
<p>ME TOO :) haha we've gone singapore and cathay pacific but this time we are going british air :D.</p>
<p>my advice:
-bring hw/stuff to do
-boil all water before you drink it
-if drinking any soda, drink coke or fanta
-bring your own straws; the straws in india dont have paper covers and so they have dust and crap
-eat cooked food
-buy dettol soap, its antibacterial and stuff
-if you are a girl, don't use the fair-skin creams because they are hazardous to your health.</p>
<p>or...... you can be a man about your experience</p>
<ul>
<li>def bring hw to do.... it can be boring.</li>
<li>don't boil the water --> be a man</li>
<li>drink thumbs up</li>
<li>don't use a straw</li>
<li>eat PANI PURI like crazy (who cares if you get diarrahea, it's worth it)</li>
<li>j/k about above point if you DO get diarrhea from stuff like that.... I can handle anything from India and not get sick....... :)</li>
<li>soap? it's India. no one uses soap. water = best</li>
<li>if you're a girl going to India, you don't need fair-skin cream. you're gonna be the whitest person there.</li>
</ul>
<p>haha have fun being a man and contracting practically every bacterial disease there is.</p>
<p>It would obviously boost your ECs profile, but only if you're genuinely interested in helping others. If you're doing the trip solely because you want to boost your college admissions chances, I'd recommend you not take the trip.</p>
<p>i mean i can't say its just soley for my college admission...i mean i'm going there with my youth group - i love God and that's how i can show it</p>
<p>-Dont get surprised if you see naked people running around.
-dont look rich/look like a hobo</p>
<p>...kakaka...naked ppl...kkk</p>
<p>Go to India, it'll be an enlightening experience. I mean, not many people have the chance to go out of the country, so enjoy it! If it helps you in life, then woopy! If not, at least you traveled abroad and learned something new about a culture.</p>
