I'm in India!


Well, I've been in India now for the last 2 weeks, and I'll be here for another month or so. Bangalore is my base city, which is in south India in a region called Karnataka. It's a real eye-opener to say the least, and the traffic is really quite a shock to someone from Sydney and Melbourne. Yes, there is a lot of it, but that's not what is so shocking... what is so surprising is how so much traffic manages to function with nobody obeying the road rules. Amazing stuff. Straight through red lights (you are often beeped if you stop at them), go straight across a main road without looking (don't worry the cars will stop and go around you).... total madness. Cows walking across the road, pedestrians, bikes... nuts! But interesting :)

I'll never complain about Melbourne traffic again!

More to come in the next few weeks... work here is very busy. But I'm enjoying it!

Hey buddy! How's the food over there? Good plenty of good stuff you can survive on?

Just watching Lleyton in the AusOpen - looks like he's going down first round! This time last year we were battling the cold watching that great match between Ljubi and Baghi. :-)

I couldn't stay up past the 4th set. I was sure he was going to lose, down a break in the third! He's so out of form.
