I'm back in Bangalore this week, we came here on Singapore Air, who tend to be a class above the normal economy class airlines. We stopped off via Hong Kong, where the first thing I saw when I left the plane was an advert for the Royal Bank of Scotland.
We are staying at the wonderful e-Inn in Electronics City. The e-Inn is a totally vegetarian, non smoking and (of all things) non alcoholic hotel. It's also got a jolly good free wireless network, which has got heavily used this week to play the BBC and do cheap and free calls on Skype.
We went for a walk on our first day round the local area. It was the first time I'd walked round a genuine Indian urban street, we are usually driven around and just see the chaos that India can be from the car window. I love some of the funny signs you get here, I'm not sure you could be openly advertising for ladies in the west.
Happily, although we were the only western looking people in the area, no one seemed to pay any particular attention to us.
I'm not sure who this person on the building is meant to be.
