I'm here in India. My flight was less traumatic then I'd expected...I had an entire row to myself on Virgin from San Francisco to London, which meant I slept like a rock all 10 hours. My British Airways flight from London to Bangalore was also fairly peaceful. I did arrive this morning at the ungodly hour of 5, but I actually feel rather rested.
Couldn't find my driver initally, but the nice fellows from the Oberoi called him for me. The villa I'm staying at is nice and clean, and I like the people I've met thus far already. Bangalore is leafy and green and full of flowers - not a bad place to be. It feels a lot less madcap then China, believe it or not. (They haven't completely eradicated nature here yet like they have in Beijing.)
Thus far, I've drunk a lot of chai (yummy), bought some cornflakes and am now attempting to procure a copy of my passport so I can buy a cellphone card. Developments awake.
People honk instead of braking here just like in China. Good ol' Asia.
