The Rupee is the currency used in India. I've done some research and found that they read figures differently once your reach the a hundred thousand (which they call a lakh), 10 million (which they call a crore) and 1 billion (which they call an arab). Luckily, I won't have the need to familiarize myself with that means of measurement since I'll only be there for three months and won't be using that much money.
I've searched for places in Taipei to get it but was told that none of the Taiwanese banks held this currency (not even the Bank of Taiwan). I was advised to get US$ instead and just convert it when I get to India.
I realized later on that there are quite a few places where you can get Rupees in Singapore. It's always safer to have some local currency with you when you arrive at a new place, so I went to the Mustafa Center to have some money exchanged. I'm going to check out the actual exchange rates made available by the bank in India and update this blog with information on which option is better. NT$ --> US$ --> INR or NT$ --> S$ --> INR.
