one last question. If you first arrive somewhere and don't really had the chance to meet other travellers to go out with. What do you do for dinner ? just go to a restaurant or do you avoid the nearly full restaurants when you are alone?
I guess I just want to know if you don't find it awkward to sit there on your own. I know that is like the only thing that really bothered me about travelling alone.

I would say, especially in places like India, don't pass up the places that aren't full because usually there's a good reason for it. The last thing you want to do is get sick because you felt awkard sitting alone.

Personally, I have no problem eating alone... if it's a new place, i'm usually kind of excited and food is one of my biggest passions... trying new things, and all of that. I really don't feel weird at all.. but that's just me; i'm a pretty confident person.

If you feel uncomfortable, bring a book with you to read while you wait/eat. I did this all the time anyway.
