Going to spend some time with my parents... Then maybe a short trip somewhere... None of my friends got their leaves approved, which is a bummer...

You live with your parents now?

 

[icemaη]

Na... I live alone... My parents live in my home town now since my dad retired... Its about 350kms from Bangalore, roughly 10 hrs by road... I've been living away from family for more than 7 yrs now, 4 in college and 3 at work...

Alone as alone with Rab?

 

[Martin]

Oh, that is quite far away indeed. So it takes 10h to drive 350km? Back in Norway it takes us 5h to drive to my grandparents, 350km. We think that is way too long.

Do you like Bangalore? Are other Indian cities nicer?

The roads are pretty bad and we have to pass around a hill...

Bangalore is all right. The weather is quite moderate here all year round which is a big plus. Delhi for example is a better planned city, but the weather goes from very hot to very cold. The problem with Bangalore is that its a badly planned city, roads are narrow and cannot be expanded, drainage is poor and traffic is horrible (especially because people here don't know how to drive) and after 1130 pm you don't get anything to eat. But this place has been home to me for quite a few years and I don't feel like moving out...

after 1130 pm you don't get anything to eat

How?

 

[icemaη]

How?

All restaurants are shut down by 1130 pm. And for people like you and me, who can only make sandwiches, it can be hell. Especially when mom's not around

 

[Martin]

What do you mean, I survive just fine on sandwiches

 

[icemaη]

Brown bread or white bread?

Daaamn that must be hard then.

Forza food.

 

[Martin]

Brown bread or white bread?

Of course brown. Look at the English. They had white bread and it was so terrible they couldn't eat it and they invented the toaster.

 

[icemaη]

To their credit they do have 'the best of both worlds' bread though...

This

 

[Martin]

I'm sure it sucks

 

[icemaη]

It is all right actually. I'm not sure how much truth is there to their claims of "Soft and yummy white bread with all the wheatgerm goodness of wholemeal."

If you want white bread you might as well go all out and go French. Baguettes are not very good for you, but they are tasty. Personally I really don't like these packages bread products like that, you can tell they store them in the plastic for weeks.

 

[icemaη]

I prefer brown bread myself.

 

[Martin]

You probably shouldn't take my opinions too seriously though, Norwegians are very picky about bread
