Eating Out Travels

Another country. New food.

After arriving in Bangalore, I was getting very hungry, but I had food on British Airways flight BA119 landing at 4:30am in the early morning. At least I will miss the rush hour.

After a couple of hours sleep, Ashlesh my host collected me withe his wife Monica, a lovely sincere couple, and took me to the hotel where the PhotoReading Course will be held, to arrange the layout of the venue.

It took quite a bit of discussion to convince the hotel conferencing manager what I wanted in table layout was going to work, perhaps they had not such a strange trainer as me.

The pangs of hunger got to us all in the end and we ventured to the roof garden, and the catering manager chose the food for us with instructions of not too spicy.

An array of foods arrived, a chicken dish, bitter god vegetable dish, something else in a sauce and rice, followed by a chocolate fudge with ice cream. I did not find the chocolate fudge, but I assured it was. Perhaps it had gone the same way as my chocolate cake I left in Istanbul one night. The meal was finished by mouth refreshers, small seed-like items, the best tasting of aniseed, and certainly refreshing.

Stay & Work hotel I am staying in. Again chicken, this time with chips and garlic bread. Interesting. I am hungry again and it is only midnight.

A warm welcome in Bangalore, India.

As I arrived in Bangalore, India early this morning, I was surprised that it was not as hot as I expected. The weather forecast said heavy rain, but no rain came.

My hotel or rooms where I am staying is the Stay n Work @ Infantry, 145 Infantry Road, Bangalore, 560001, put out a welcome sign for me. Cool.

But then perhaps I am the only guest?

Driving around town reminded me of Columbo in Sri Lanka, until I came across a sign.

Cool. Over fifty participants, may be more.
