11.11.10

updated update

Been a quick 3+ weeks already and my couches/clothes/dishes/etc get here tomorrow morning finally. Couple of lessons learned so far:
1. Don't eat at any "restaurants" whose name contains a US city - might as well get Carl's Jr for 1/2 the price
2. Taxi "etiquette" is complex here. Basically, if they don't stop for you, don't take it personal.
3. Don't underestimate the power of the consumer here...
4. Juice is MUCH better when it is fresh. (i.e. I want a juicer).
5. Lacking air-conditioning in gyms here makes 3 hours of volleyball a VERY damp environment.
6. The sun is hot at the equator.
7. Overcast sky is NOT unique to the US pacific northwest.
8. I need to learn to carry more cash on me.

A couple photos from a pass through Little India...


You can click on this one and then click on the image and zoom in some....pretty cool temple (if a little "tourist-y")
