Bangalore: Making NYC driving look like practice.

Well we have officially been in Bangalore now for just short of 24 hours. Our first day was spent sightseeing around the city before we have to dive into some of the more busy stuff that we came to India for. This post is going to be short because honestly, I'm still suffering the effects of an 11 hour jet-lag.

Top 10 observations about India:

1. There are no traffic laws.

2. There are no traffic laws.

3. There are no traffic laws- This takes observations 1-3 because driving in India today literally took years off my life, there are no lanes, road signs, traffic lights, and our guide informed us that most of the drivers around us were not licensed and we might get clipped by a rickshaw if we aren't careful. Super.

4. Did you know you can fit a family of 5 on a moped? It's true, I have pictures to prove it.

5. Taco Bell is kind of a big deal.

6. Men and boys typically use the side of the road as a urinal and don't care who sees them.

7. Indian food is spicy. Like really spicy, so spicy that it raises your body temperature for a good hour after you eat it.

8. Garbage cans? Who needs those in a city of over 5 million people? Not Bangalore.

9. Their ice cream rivals Italy's gelato.

10. Yay to a place where the American dollar actually gets you somewhere.

Overall, India is throwing me out of my comfort zone but I think I'm liking it so far.

The jet-lag is creeping in, I can feel it.

Night,
