What would you improve about this program?
Going into a bit more detail in clarifying what is covered monetarily and discussing the prices of things would be very helpful. As mentioned above, finding out we had to pay for certain drinks was a bit of a shock, but certainly not the end of the world. I also probably would've brought a bit more money had I known how expensive things were when you paid in rupees.
