Mysore Belly

Arrival in Bangalore was inconsequential, which stood in complete contrast to the hassle with Indian immigration in getting here in the first place; some guy posing as a Customs Officer in street clothes looked casually at my tourist visa before letting me into his country.

The drive back to Mysore felt like a 3-hour car chase, but I'm not sure if we were actually being pursued by anyone.

Tamil playing navigator, and Aruna taking on the role of rally car driver in a baller-ass Bangalore car chase scene.

I've heard about how cows are revered and all that ish, but I had no idea these bo-vines walk around like they actually own the place.

WE AINT SCARED HO!!!!

Hindu temples galore obviously. This one about 5 minutes away from my apartment.

Close-up of the frieze. Shiva bustin' some crocodile skulls for messing with a elephant, all while ghost-ridin' on a eagle...

And then some religious festival that consisted of adolescents humping a giant jousting stick.

My favorite was some dude dressed up like a cross between the ultimate warrior and a prussian general from world war 1.

Some Pics

There are some pretty sexually suggestive signs in the office building where I work. Or maybe I'm being too imaginative:

After "Wet Riser" and "Electrical Riser", I thought I'd seen it all. Then I saw this one at a friends condo where they were hosting a July 4th party:

RAMTRON!!! I'd work for this company just for the hats and tshirts.

And then some random pics from some people in town. Is he goose-stepping like a Russian foot soldier circa WWI, or is he gettin' his stretch on while waiting for the bus...

Went out with friends in Clark Quay. I guess this was supposed to be lady liberty, not sure why she's decked out in green though.

Just another rich dude's lambo parked outside the Orchard Hotel. NBD.

And finally, saw this on soccernet.com's front page this morn.. I think a proper headline would be: "U.S. Team to Brush Up On European History After Nazi Salute Silences Crowd in German-Hosted World Cup, Manager Says."

Seriously, wtf are they doing?
