we got to bangalore from cochin two days ago after a gruelling over-night bus ride.
it’s great seeing iroms, kush and deanne properly. their flat is really great, small and neat and very colourful. bangalore is very crowded with incessent traffic, tonnes of people, lots of great shopping to be done and probably india’s only flourishing pub culture.
so far we’ve been to this popular pub (that serves only beer) called peco’s. it’s dark and dingy and plays great music, with drawings of the beatles on the ceiling and of the likes of bob marley on the walls. reminded me a little of the den from colombo’s sort of recent history. we also went to this super seedy bar full of men after for more hard alcohol.
last night we went to the ever green purple haze, which i’ve always heard so much about. its apparently been renovated and rebuilt. again nice place, sort of clancy’s-ish lay out but better music and nicer on the whole. we also went to this club last night called fusion lounge, it was, lo and behold, hip hop night and the place was packed with ‘asians’.
everything here shuts at 11 pm which means you start drinking at about 5 pm. kind of strange, but it grows on you.
boggy also made us watch this atrocity called ‘just my luck’. hopefully, we’ll be able to catch the return of johnny depp as jack sparrow before we leave.
we also went to this place called tibetan plaza which sells cool CHEAP things. that’s probably where everyone’s gifts will come from. A and i went crazy and plan on doing so again today.
lots of things to do before we leave for goa on thursday and so little time. everything is so cheap. we cannot get over it.
get the fuck out! I saw Just My Luck yesterday- I wasn’t expecting anything but still! eh– and just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, they go ahead and bring in McFly!!

mcfly…yeah. that was probably the worst part about the movie, the movie that would have been a tragedy even without it. i must confess though, that lohan is looking fab again, and not her anorexic, skeletel self from some time ago.

Go to Opus - it’s run by a Goan. The place has a great vibe AND there’s something going on nearly every day of the week. It’s at the corner of Sankey Road and Palace Cross Road http://opusbangalore.blogspot.com

Well here there is a hole in the cheap stuff. Yaaaa I dont agree on it coz even the most expensive pair of short will have 3 holes on it to get in to it lol. Keep on shopping and keep some spare cash to travel.
