India highlights

Been too long since posting. Just back from India.  Highlights:

• – New airport in Bangalore is about as nice as anything I’ve ever seen
• – Rooms at the Bangalore Golf Club are NOT.  Idea:  get an elevator if rooms are going to be on the 3rd floor
• – Golf course was in great shape.  Played with a nice guy from Georgia.  Enjoyed hitting first drive – which had to go OVER the parking lot.
• – Traffic still an absurd issue there.  If your horn doesn’t work, forget driving in Bangalore.
• – Sakha offices cool.  Well, not temperature cool – nothing there is.
• – Food, as always, was great.  Partying was too.  Hard Rock Bangalore (which has over 20000 fans on Facebook), Purple Haze and Cub Nero were all awesome.  From what I recall.  Don’t even ask Harsh what happened.  He won’t remember.
• – I overtipped again.  Wildly as it turns out.  It seems that tipping 100 rupees for breakfast is the equivalent of tipping $200 in LA.  No wonder the service was so good.
• – LONG flights.  20 hours each way.
• – Sick as a dog AFTER I got back, punctuated by 36 hours where I couldn’t sleep at all.  Kudos to Pam for keeping me from killing myself.
• – Good t be home, but it was fun as usual.
