Things NOT to do while in the USA

• Carry a driver's license which is in a non-English language or which looks more like an application form than like the license itself.

• Try to bribe the cop.

DOs and DON'Ts at Wonder La

INFO:

• Wonder La is the largest and the safest Amusement park in India spanning over 82 acres of land, nearly 30 kms from Bangalore.
• A must-visit place if u happen to be a Bangalorean or on a tour to Bangalore.
• http://www.wonderla.com/
• Timings: 11 am - 6 pm (Mon - Fri); 11 am - 7 pm (Sat-Sun & Holidays)
• There're discounts for group bookings and for students.
• Take your bike. It's always a pleasure zooming on the Bangalore-Mysore highway.
• Direct bus from Majestic to Wonder La – Bus No. 226. Ideally, one should start from Majestic Bus Stand at 9:30 A.M.

DOs:

• Take an aquaphobic with you, if possible. It'll be fun.
• Always take a fattu with you (comes handy for taking photographs when you are enjoying rides).
• Shout till your lungs come out. It's a good fright-reliever.
• Carry these: towel, camera, plastic covers, extra pair of undergarments (preferably washed), swimming gear (at least a Lycra trunk).
• Carry minimal ornaments/equipments/accessories.
• Have a light breakfast.
• Carry a case if you wear spectacles.
• Put the footwear in lockers, if possible. They do get misplaced otherwise. There's hardly any honesty left in the world.
• Finish dry rides before lunch and water rides post lunch.
• Spend more time in the wave pool if you are with your girl.
• Enjoy a shower once done with the water rides. You might not want to take the excessive chlorine on your body back home.
• Visit Wonder La numerous times with great zeal.

DON'Ts:

• Don't be late even for a minute (Opening time: 11am). Utilize the available time to its maximum.
• Don't wear shoes. Go in floaters/chappals, preferably cheaper ones.
• Don't carry unnecessary stuff. Consumes extra space in lockers.
• Don't take eatables with you. Eatables are not allowed inside. The food at the cafeteria is pretty decent and damn cheaper than expected.
• Don't dare heavy rides post lunch.
• Don't miss even a single ride. You never know which one would be the most thrilling.
• Don't underestimate any ride.
• Don't wear an undy with holes.
• Don't behave like Rajnikant if you think you are not a fattu.
• Don't stare at a visually appealing chick for too long. There're many more around. Try to cover as many as possible.
