Beer and Bananas in Bangalore

Bangalore+Mysore

Howdy,

I'm currently hangin' out in Banglore right now, the so called Silicon Valley of India aka Dork Central. This place is busting at its seems with international tech companies. Land here is incredibly expensive, and the traffic... forgettabout it. I thought Bombay was bad, this place is clown shoes.

Banglores in the south and has some of the best weather in India. Its pretty high above the sea level so it doesn't get too hot or cold around here. This place is also known as Pub City. The streets are lined with'em, but the funny part is they all close at 11:30pm (yay India!) so its kind of a buzz kill. Not much to do around here, so I went to the market and bought some Bananas and beer. I decided to try out some Indian beer - King Fisher. Its not bad, the best part about it is their slogan 'King of good times!' That shit cracked me up. It's all about the GT's!

I also hooked up with some hippies I met through a friend here. A real cool duet by the name of Garb and Nancy (not their real names). Garb is local and Nancy's from the US they hitched a few yrs ago. They're on some far out shit. They just got back from the Himalayas, so they had some premo Indo Hash, like I mean creme of the crop you don't stop, this rhyme sucks kinda shit. So it was a night of Yardbirds, whisky, and hash. It was so refreshing to lounge around and listen to GOOD music for once. Thats definitely one thing I miss the most - music. My iPods outta bats and I feel like a douche wearing it out. In the plane sure thats cool but walking around buying bananas haggling rickshaw drivers - no.

Gotta cut it short, I'm starting to smell myself.
Hit ya later with some pics.
