So...getting ready for this trip has been on my mind for a few weeks now. Mostly focused on getting the work done, and sometimes thinking of the personal side of getting ready to go.
Every chance I get, when someone mentions they have been to India I ask, "What's it like - the weather? the people? things to do?"
For example; I was ordering India Rupee's from my banks call centre. While the transaction was taking place, a few questions were asked like: "Your first time to India?", "Are you going for business or pleasure?", and "North or South India?". At first I thought it was polite small talk, so I asked if he was familiar with Bangalore. In fact he did, because that was where he lives.
I made a new friend! After the transaction was complete, we talked about the city for awhile. So, if you were trying to do some banking by phone and had a extra long wait time - sorry :D
This week a lot of the "work stuff" for the trip is almost finalized - yeah! And, my thoughts turned to the personal side of the trip. What am I going to do when I am not working? 5 weeks is going to feel like a long time.
If you are familiar with Bangalore/Bengaluru, what 'must do' suggestions do you have?
