Greetings from Bangalore!

Just started my annual visit to India this morning (it's currently 10:30 am Saturday here) - that's midnight Eastern.   It's tough being 6,000 miles from home for 2+ weeks, but I can say that they really do go out of their way to make their visitors feel welcome.   

When I got to the office this morning, I found a stash of cold Cokes, Pepsi's and waters sitting on the desk in my office.  I haven't seen any bottles, seems like everything is in tall skinny cans (250/300mL) but it tastes like home!

Keep your eyes open.. There may still be some treasures to be found out there.

Old enamel signs etc. Happy Hunting...

Lucky man, I've always wanted to visit India, have a great time and be sure to enjoy a giant plate of butter chicken with a double side of naan bread for me lol, it's my favorite dish in the world !

Thanks Guys,

The people over here are unbelievably kind, and they do their best to make me feel welcom, but in all honesty - I really don't care for Indian cuisine, so it is a long 2 weeks.  Plus I stand out a too much here - being about 6' tall and of Irish/Swedish descent, I stick out like the proverbial sore thumb.

I will occasionally (like 1-2x a year) make Chicken Tikka Masala at home, but that's about the extent of it.

Jeff - I had murgh makhani (butter chicken) for lunch today... I think.
