I promise I haven't been avoiding writing or anything, the Internet at our flat is spotty and it never connects when I want to upload a post. Work has been crazy busy the past few days as well.
Sorry for the delay!
Anyways,
This past weekend was nice. On Friday we went back to High Spirits (we went there for the Bob Dylan cover band) and watched another cover band. The band members were 19-21 years old BUT much much much better than the older Bob Dylan wannabe. The food was delicious, like before.
On Saturday we all slept in, then Daniel, J and I went into the city. Everyone else had to work. If I haven't mentioned it before most companies here work 6 days a week. Our company only works 5 but we have to work 9.5 hours each day. When we got in the city we went to a store called FabIndia. You can get a ton of really nice hand woven Indian things from there. I got my Mom a present but I'm not going to say what. The three of us then went to Pizza Hut, which was delicious. It really is an upscale restaurant unlike the ones in America. Daniel wanted to spend some money so we went to MG Road where there is a ton of smaller shops spread out kind of like a maze. We bought J's niece a sari and saw a random pet store with huge fish.
Later Saturday night we met up with Michelle (from J's school), Jonas (the other German) and Prathiush (Daniels Indian Colleague) and went to Area 51. It looks like it sounds. It's a huge lit up flying saucer with three floors. The bottom floor is a dance floor, the middle floor has tables and revolves around the dance floor, and the top floor is for private parties. We got there a little early to get a table (the place fills up quickly) and ate some food. We then proceeded to dance the night away to American/Hindi electro and Bollywood. It was quite entertaining.
Sunday was a very lazy day. Nobody felt like waking up. I don't think I woke up fully until a little before 2. We thought the monsoons started yesterday because it rained all day. J and I stayed inside all day. We washed clothes, cooked some food, and watched a lot of TV. It was nice to take a day off to rest. We both got the chance to Skype our families and say Happy Fathers Day to our Dads. That was a treat.
Next post J and I will share some of the oddities we've experienced in India, maybe I can even get him to guest blog! Stay tuned to find out about the length of a piece of toilet paper...dun dun dunnnnnn
