Bangalore

Arrived at 1:00am Sunday Bangalore time, that was 3:30am Sunday morning Shanghai time and 1:30pm Saturday Regina time. Great, I was ready for a very filthy place just like the Indian capital city's airport. Nope. My great expectation was dash. The Bangalore airport was small compared to similar size Asian cities but very tastily done. Airy, calming and clean! This airport made the national capital city one to shame! We were surprised. The Bangalore airport was like the Oakland airport in California. At that time of the night, people were still sitting outside sipping coffee at Illy Coffee or any Westernized coffee places. After all, this is an IT town. Stepped off the Arrival exist, I saw hotel staff holding signs of VMware, Cisco to named a few.

The hotel we are staying is hip. We slept until 10am Bangalore time. The hotel is close by a lake. Things seem to be cheap here. We are hiring a car for the afternoon, US45.00 for 4 hours. Going out and explore.

Will write more and take more pictures from my Nokia phone. Forgot to bring a camera.
