Jaipur`s fake gem industry.

Jaipur, 27-02-1995. We took the superdeluxe bus to Jaipur but it took as long as the odinary bus which costs only half of what we paid. An expensive hotel at 200 bloody Rp. but it is our last night together. Lots of filth, beggars, people sleeping in the streets and local shitheads trying to get the western tourist to come along to a gem shop. Jaipur is reknowned for the fake gem industry. Some local, usually well dressed and speaks good civilised english will try to befriend himself with you and invite you for a chai. It might take only a few hours or maybe a few days but eventually your new friend will start talking about this aquintance of his who happens to have a gem shop and contacts in the west where you can sell your gems with a major profit etc etc. I am sure you start to get the general idea.....if you do not you will soon be in the possession of some beautifull pieces of glass that has cost you your complete holiday budget and are worthless back home. If you meet these people and say no to them they will try to work on your conscience with remarks like "why you not like talk to indians'? "you`re too proud to our people"? "why you come to India when you don`t like to talk to us"?
and more of the same shit...
