India

I looked at a map online and its looks like you are going to be a little futher south than I am going to be. Hyderabad is north of Bangalore, about 400 miles according to the map I saw.

Guess we won't be seeing each other

I know that sucks!! We will be so close but not close enough.

So I had a training on India the other day.. actually pretty interesting. They brought in a girl who was born and raised in India until she was 22 and is now living here to get her masters degree. She talked about what we could expect over there..

Just as an FYI, don't do anything with your left hand and don't take anything from their left hand.. ALSO, bring the little travel size rolls of toilet paper as a lot of places don't use it hence the left hand..

I'm starting to get excited.. two and half weeks until I leave

Hi Guys! On June 30th, I'll be heading to Bangalore, India for 5 weeks on business. Have any of you been there before? Can you advise on what are must sees and what are things I should stay clear of? Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Damn the torpedos!!! Full speed ahead!!!

Yeah I heard the same thing about the toliet paper issue over there, quite disturbing to say the least! I have heard so many different things, I kind of am unsure of what to expect when I get there.

yup...in the mid-east, everything should be done with the right hand. Sh*t with the left, eat (and everything else) with the right.....anything else is a sin to them

Hey MA!!! I have been to Banglore but it was many years ago. If you do go to Banglore, you MUST go to Mysore. It is one of the more famous cities in the area. The Maharaja of Mysore was one of the more powerful kings at one time. About a few hours to the south (I don't know how long but at least 10 to 12 hours by driving MINIMUM but I think it may be more) is a town called Kunyakamari (spelling I know is wrong) where you can see the sunrise over three seas (Indian Ocean, Arabian Sea, and the Bay of Bengal).
