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.

As you might guess I have a keen interest in everything you eat, particularly how it differs from Western versions.

Nice! The buffet sounds lovely. It's nice to be able to sample a bunch of different things without needing to commit to one when you're in a different/unfamiliar country.

Bill has just recently started to be comfortable with Skype and we've been skyping with each other when we are both in the same place at the same time. It really is worlds better than emailing back and forth.

Aside: (he's a bit of a luddite — computers were available while he was still working full-time, but they were used by the secretaries, so he never really learnt to pilot one until his (semi) retirement. Of course, he also didn't use a phone (his phone went to his secretary who would then make the phone call, and forward it back to his office), but he figured that out pretty easily.)

You've not mentioned it, but wondered if you've found out about "alternative" i.e. LGBT life in the sub-continent. Have you looked at all?
