Kickin' it in Bangalore

How do you say "Awwws Yeah" in Hindi? No matter...

Last week it was Kansas City for an onsite install. From yesterday until the 30th, I'm in Bangalore, India, to do some technical and procedural training.

The trip here was a killer. Seattle to Amsterdam (10 hours), 2.5hr layover in Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Mumbai (10 hours), 6 hour layover in Mumbai, and finally Mumbai to Bangalore (1.5hrs). At one point, I felt like I was a contestant in the Amazing Race. I hear Northwest is going to add direct service from Amsterdam to Bangalore. That'll be nice. Let's just hope their bankruptcy doesn't screw that up.

A couple other Americans and I all hung out in Mumbai. One was here to see her spiritual advisor, and the other was a missionary from NC. Cool people, and they both had some helpful hints for me.

Yesterday was all about sleep. I got into the hotel at 6am, had breakfast, then slept from 8am to 5pm. Then I just got caught up on emails. Today a bit of sightseeing, and a chance to see if I can buy a bottle of Patron tequila for our office manager here. And who knows what else.
