An unfortunate set of circumstances has ruined an otherwise 'awesome summer road trip.' Jeremy Talman and Don Nedlan had spent a year planning a month-long backpacking trip to their favorite country India. However, things took a terrible turn for the worse:
"Ya, I'm really bummed out. We had this awesome trip planned but it was harsh on our budget. And when we saw this flyer advertising tickets to Indiana that were WAY cheaper than our tickets to India and we were like 'right on!'... but it turns out Indiana is nothing like India."

Their mistake was exacerbated as Jeremy and Don only brought 12 American dollars with them as the rest of their money was tied up in 46,000 rupees.
"Ya what really sucked about the trip for me is that there were no Indian hotties. Sure we saw some regulation hotties, but they weren't exotic or nothin... and the curry sucked."
- Don Nedlan, Junior, Alabama State University
The question remains... is Indiana taking advantage of India's popularity as a travel destination? With ads like "Come to Indiana and try our Curry" one would say yes. However, Lt. Governor Becky Skillman disagrees:
"I don't see how that is misrepresenting us, we have some curry here in our state and we encourage people to try it. Come for the curry, stay for roads. That's what I say. We've got lots of roads and most of them are paved."
- Becky Skillman, Lt. Governor of the State of Indiana
Hopefully the plight of Jeremy and Don will give light to one of the many hazards of international travel.
