India – winding up

Announcement: before I get overwhelmed with preparations, I will confirm that we fly out of Bangalore this coming Friday 21st November. This means that until the 6th December, when we arrive back in Australia, Alex will be busy doing Japan :-)

This evening we dined in style with the guys from INTEC Bangalore.

This is us sat at Ruchi’s (18/1 Cambridge Road, Ulsoor, Bangalore – 560 008 Phone: 41320435), which also served commendably as our local takeaway. We indulged in many more curries than I can now possibly name or remember. A great way for us to say goodbye to southern Indian cuisine.

I would like again to say a special thank you to Vinay for his taking up a whole weekend escorting us around Mysore and making Akira’s time there special. And you did get your “low five” out of Taiga at last!

And of course many thanks to Vasantha for inviting us to your home last weekend and treating us to some great Indian home cooking. It was also a treat to see our first major Hindu temple, the ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) in Bangalore. This is their biggest temple complex in the world, and if you still don’t get it, they are the people in orange who dance and chant to the Hindu god Krishna (Hare Krishna!).

It has been an incredible stay and we would love to return sometime! We certainly all feel sad that we are having to make our last goodbyes :-( .
