Day 20 and 21

I stayed in Mysore this week. Saturday I hung around the pool which is beautiful. There are actually 2 pools. The first pool waterfalls down 15 feet into the second smaller pool. The main large pool is about the size of half a football field and has a island in the middle with a gazebo. All around the pool are wood deck chairs with umbrellas.

Today was really hot so I stayed closer to my room and read on my balcony for a little. In the evening I went shopping and got some souvenirs. I got myself a tailor made silk shirt. They are going to make it tonight and deliver it tomorrow. It was only Rs. 1500 or about $30. How much do you think a tailor made silk shirt delivered the next day would cost in the US?

I had Dominos last night and again for lunch today. I'm getting sick of Indian food. I miss pockets, McDonald's, Nemo's, Toons, Y2K (What's the damage).

I think Indian Coca Cola is different than US Coca Cola it tastes sweeter here.

Anyway 5 more days. I'm dreading the 33 hour trip home but I can't wait to get back and sleep in my own bed.

Comments...

Denise: According to the Infosys web site they hire people from Indian and US universities but I think the people they hire from the Us stay in the US. Everyone in my class is a graduate of Indian Universities. I think it is more common to go to grad school in the US.

Carolyn: I added more pictures of Goa to the posts from Day 12 - Day 15.

Leave a comment if you haven't already. I'd like to hear from you.
