Bangalore, Day 7

[bjarvis]

This report will be relatively short as there's actually very little to report at all.

I was up at an early hour so I could skype with the boys back in DC before it was very late in their time zone. After a half-hour chat or so, I headed to the office.

There were two major tasks to accomplish today at work and both were completed. Enough said there.

Six of us went to the Museum Inn for lunch at a 4th floor buffet restaurant. I can officially claim now to have had an unquestionably no-holds barred Indian dinner: the only concession to my delicate western palette was bottled water instead of tap. The food was indeed spicy & hot but it was all within my comfort zone, if only just.

My only plans for tonight are to curl up with an ebook and generally vegetate. We'll see how long that plan lasts.

Yeah, buffets are fantastic, and it does seem to be the most popular lunch style here. I've seen far more buffets than non-buffet restaurants. Having to concoct one's own particular combo when one doesn't know what the hell the individual items are can be a challenge though. ;-)

I haven't used Skype much until recently. For the international calls, it's fantastic: I'm really surprised how well even video performs over my hotel's middling wifi bandwidth using my mobile phone as a camera & Skype node. My boss has initiated group video conferences using Skype as well, but my meagre netbook seems to have problems keeping up with the video.
