Bangalore: city of shopping


Bangalore is a mad place but it has got a great atmosphere. Not as touristy as Mumbai, Bangalore has grown organically so has very few slum areas (that we saw anyway) and is full of brilliant shops. Kieran was very very happy as this is his second favourite activity ;-)

We went to the botanical gardens in the morning and about 3 sets of people stopped us to ask if they could take our photo (?) funny white people, including one man with a TV camera so we might be on Indian TV (makes up for not getting into Bollywood in Mumbai).

We then went to the shopping centre (although to be honest the whole of Bangalore is good for shopping) and bought some lovely things from some very friendly people. You do get hawkers here but on the whole the place is so vibrant and busy getting on with its life that you don't mind a bit of hassle.

Bit disappointed that we've been in India for a week and not smoked any hash yet but actually we don't really care: papaya lassi is just as good (I'm getting old - El).

Flying to Trivandrum tomorrow (30 Nov) to check into our yoga course so may not post for a week or two. Will send cosmic yoga vibes instead (ommmmm).

Hi Kieran,

The initiator value is no longer being displayed on license request worfklow emails. Neil would like to know what he should do. I suggested refering to the documentation you obviously would have left behind. As hard as I find this to believe, he claims that you didn't document this feature.

Frankly I am very dissapointed by this and find it thoroughly unprofessional. I will obviously have to report this to Peter!
