Tinsukia is not a town where a lot of tourist go. It is a very busy city with a lot of shops and traffic. I’ve been stared at in the streets quite a lot. Some even asked me for a selfie. It’s something to get used to. As a tourist you get extra attention but otherwise everyone was very friendly. The fact that I was always accompanied by someone who speaks the local language made everything a lot easier. This will also be the case for you if you join the project. Many people speak English especially in the schools and colleges.
You will find the people very welcoming and curious. You will certainly be often invited for food and tea. Those have been the most memorable moments for me- from both the countryside and the town.
