Week 2: Settling In

The Oracle office I am working in. There are 5 Oracle offices in Bangalore!

Week 2 has come and gone in a zip. Lots going on, meeting new people, getting into a new office at work, taking yoga classes, and getting around on autorickshaws. It been quite a week. By this weekend I was so tired I just wanted to stay in an rest!

Vic will be here this week and then we are off to explore Kerala and then the Golden Triangle. It has been a lot of work to plan out and arrange, but now that most of our plans are set I'm getting really excited. So much to look forward to.

Last week I made a new friend... Molly. She is an ultra sweet girl that works with me at Oracle. She is from a beach town called Mangalore which is just due west from here. Of course you know me... I just love people from beach towns! [Oh... side note... most people my age in Bangalore are all MARRIED!] Anyways, Molly is single and lives pretty close by so we decided to hang out and have dinner. Little did I know that we actually wouldn't be eating until almost 10! Apparently it is not customary to eat until like after 9 or even 10. We ended up going to a coffee shop first and just hanging out and then eventually made our way over to a restuarant called Chandini Chowk. It was really amazing... it was like going inside to eat outside. The entire restaurant was set up as though we were in the middle of the desert... there was even a real camel and a bullock cart outside as you enter. And the food was.... delicious!!!
