Beautiful scene outside the hotel


yes, you to could have this glorious view of traffic in Bangalore...for only 290 a night!

1.) Yes, that is a hole in the street next to the orange flowered tree. No clue what they are doing, but that whole has filled up with water twice now. Someone mentioned telephone wires...

2.) Those yellow topped things are rickshaws....lots of them in the city. They are three wheelers, pretty sure they just drop the body onto a three wheeler as the driver has the same handlebars, you know the one with the breaks?

3.) On top of the building on the right, which by the way has no windows on the top floor, there is a bunch of people that seem to have set up shop. Yesterday when it rained---over 121 cm so flooded--they washed their clothes in the mud puddles.

4.) I so wish I could send you the noise...there is no peace here only honking that starts at 6am every morning and ends around 2am. These people are on such disruptive schedules with the combination working on Indian time and the influx of work from Europe and the US offering hours starting at 3am in the morning.

5.) Behind the gas station a lake has shown up, full of dirty water from the rains over the last few days.

6.) No, thats not a cloudy day...thats the soot that sets in over the city about an hour after sunrise...there is no "sun" here as we think of it.
