Yes, it happened! - here at DEL airport, New Delhi for the first time 20 years ago. :)
Not really a review here, - perhaps more of a recollection!
Thinking in this connection of G.D. Robert's book "Shantaram" and the chapter on money exchange :) Upon arrival at the airport early in the morning after immigration, the first thing was to exchange money for taxi, food and hotel stay. In addition, delivered train tickets were to be paid to the hotel on arrival. (e-tickets were not commonplace yet, this time)
I found money exchange and the queue for foreigners.
I still remember that bank clerk; wearing a lovely new leather jacket - the only one among the other 8-10 clerks. Professional and quick exchange, counting by hand, receipt and "next thank you" :) I didn't notice anything, later in the hotel room I realized that a note was missing, about NOK 125.- :) Ok guys; being vigilant still applies!! Good trip and lots of great experiences!
