Observations

The last day in Bangalore we met up with another coworker that arrived the night before and had a good breakfast. This Taj Hotel is a lot better than the one I am staying in and I thoroughly enjoyed the food. After all, I nearly starved the death the week before. All three of us, meet up with Bhanu and Shiva again, at the mall of course. This time a different mall. I bought a pair of shoes for $11USD. Hey, I am a female, natural lover of shoes. They wanted to go to the movies, but the sign outside turned me off. You were not allowed to bring in bags, cameras, cell phones, etc, etc. WTF? I didn't see any secure lockers so I had no clue where you would put those items. We end up walking around the city. I had to catch my flight back to Pune so I left by 3pm. The airport was a mess in Pune. It is too small to handle three flight arrivals at the same time. I found it funny that EVERYONE gets a luggage cart even if they only have one bag. Interesting observations:
1. Drag Queens dressed in Saree's (yesss!)
2. Black People!! BPC is up to 10 in the city of Bangalore (does not include my coworker)
3. Single men are called "Bachelors", Single girls are called "Spinsters" (I am going to have to stop from crying myself to sleep tonight)
4. Street hustlers are every where
5. Red lights are not a rule, just a suggestion
6. In the south part of India, women ride in the front of the bus, men in the back
7. Dogs and Cows roam the streets like people
8. There are NO SUVs
9. Mosquito bites are vicious(don't worry I took the medication)
10. A Plaid shirt and stripped pants match
