Week 2 in India


So last Saturday, I went shopping with the group on MG Road. Even though I didn't buy anything, it is still better than staying at the hotel. This Saturday, we went to Mysore (yeah, that's the correct spelling) to tour the famous palace and shop. Again, I didn't buy anything because I don't think I'll wear those in New York and I'm not exactly into craft works. It was a long drive from our hotel, but I made it in one-piece, didn't throw up thank god! Sunday me and a colleague went to the state government building near our hotel to take some pictures then walked to MG road where I had my beloved KFC. KFC in the US cannot compare to those in Asia. The ones in India have many vegetarian options, but they ain't for me. I was just curious how the chicken taste, so I got the original and the hot & crispy chicken pieces, plus a Zinger burger which is just hot chicken sandwich. God I was FULL, but Oh Boy, do they taste good, just like the ones I had in China. After 2 weeks of Indian food, that's what I was craving for, who cares if they're bad for me. Anyway, I'm ready to go home. I think I'll have to go to Baltimore next month. 


P.S: There are advertising boards everywhere on the streets of Bangalore. I expecially like the ones by 
Canara Bank, an Indian bank. Their slogan is 'we all change for the ones we love' and 'together, we can'. 
I can't help but feel empowered by looking at their ads. They might sound cliche but they are also true 
in many cases. After all, we do do things for those around us, more for the ones we love, less for the 
those we could care less.
