Travel can be different. They may be well-planned route and the money laid out on the envelope: "for food", "entertainment", "housing", "NZ" and so on.. It may just be the mattress - for lovers «All Inclusive» system. And may be completely free and unpredictable. For the last few hesitant, because if you have everything laid out, all the way thought out compensation in the envelope "for tomorrow" is the amount that warm pocket and soul, relax much calmer. But thanks to the dreamers who conquers a thousand kilometers by hitchhiking with little or no money, other people will learn how not to die from hunger in various countries. It happened to my friend, who went to India with well-calculated amount of envelopes and... a light breeze in the head. It works to get found by pure chance, and she liked it. She shared her experience with me and I pass it on.
Comparing the experience of my friend that I heard while in ThailandIndia - a blessed country. There you can find a job that will not only meet all urgent expenses but also allow a little money. In Thailand, the work, so to speak, off-line may be only local, but the farang (as the locals call aliens) for it may well get in person or amass a problem in a showdown with the local police or mafia. And even if you have opened a restaurant, the Thai people have to work there.
In India, to solve the problem of temporary employment, which will allow to make "daily bread" and extra cookies, a lot easier. If you are in a difficult situation, or if you just wonder (as it was with my girlfriend), feel free to ask new acquaintances about where you can find a job. Typically, among them quite a few agents who are engaged in recruiting people to work in promotions for shops, bars and nightclubs, as well as for crowd scenes in advertising and films of Bollywood! Or you can go to the forum ogoa.ru and select a job to their liking. Usually the agent asks to send photos and update an age to understand where you can attach and how to strip for the fact that "this white will appear in the film or advertising."
So, the first rule - do not hesitate to ask new acquaintances on the work, or go to the forum ogoa.ru.
Video and photography
That can offer agent in the case of participation in the shooting of the video? It turns out that in Bollywood movies, the Indian advertising and music videos no longer than Indians, the steeper, so foreigners are popular. Minimal per day - $ 20. Close-up, cue and swimsuits (shorts or bathing suit top on) will bring you $ 50-70. For night shooting minimum prices higher - $ 50, and if they are held in the neighboring state, the fee will be even greater. In this case, you will be taken to the scene as fed breakfast and lunch, providing an unlimited amount of water and tea, and will be taken back. And if you successfully hide in some secluded corner to take a nap, and you will not find, you can sleep well the whole day and in the evening still get their money. Sometimes part in the shooting is limited to the simple standing in the block or run wild screaming for 20 minutes for the entire day of shooting.

Usually recording end 6 pm, since begins to darken. If you will be asked to stay longer, you have every right to refuse or request the night tariff.
In general, the process of filming itself is quite interesting. Indians are very slow, and very tired for a day of shooting, you just do not have time. First, they come to a place and begin to arrange the equipment, then put up breakfast and all trapeznichayut. Breakfast is usually served on toast and bread with butter and jam, some sweet porridge of beans and boiled eggs. Set lunch - hoists - includes cooked rice with some sauce of your choice (there are both vegetable and meat), Raita (yoghurt dish with vegetables or fruit) and lozenges roti or chapati. As a result, breakfast might take two hours. It is the same with dinner, so in the end day of shooting is 5 hours, from which you can work out just 10-20 minutes.
Participation in promotions
This work less pleasant than in the film. For handing out leaflets do not pay a lot, but one day in advertising products in store, you can get at least $ 50-60. Work will need about 8 hours (from 12 pm to 8-9 pm). Girlfriend worked on the promotion of elite Russian vodka ($ 50 per bottle). It is important to speak well in English, to explain why this vodka is worth the money. That is, you are just sitting on a chair near the stand with the advertised product, treat and wishing to sing the praises of the product. Naturally, allowed out for a smoke and a toilet. Rich Indians buy such goods very willingly, without wasting time to think.
Extras for night clubs and bars
The situation with nightclubs and bars is similar to the shooting: the more white girls, the steeper the institution. But this does not mean that you have to have an escort service! You'll just "decoration" of the club. All that you need - is to come back and hang out, sipping free cocktails. If you and decide to meet someone, it is only at his own request. Very often, the girls come to the club with your friends and spend the night there, as regular customers institutions. Only now she does not pay any entrance fee or for cocktails, and friends pay everything as it should be. Working hours - from 12 am to 4-5 am daily. Payments - $ 1000-1500 per month.
Trading on the night market
In the evening to sundown in Arambol beach out hippies and organize a kind of market. There they can resell what they bought in Bombay or Thailand, to sell jewelry and things handmade, tea, coffee, homemade cookies and candies syroedcheskimi. Someone draws a henna tattoo, someone shows fire show or twists hulahup. In general, each doing what I was capable.
One pair of regular visits to Bangkok and buy there stuff wholesale and then sells them on the market as from Thailand things much better the local. However, they have to pay for a place in the market. But the hippies who sit with their own lights on the beach and sell crafts, nothing not pay for it - which sat there and its location.
And the last option: you too can become an agent and engage in the selection of people to shoot or make a delivery of houses to foreigners, after agreeing this with the owner of the house.
All of these methods completely cover vital expenses, tested by real people and allow to stay afloat until the moment when help arrived in the form of remittances from relatives. The average home costs $ 250, the food is quite cheap, so the main thing - do not be timid, but there just not be gone;)
