my new home

i moved into my furnished bangalore apartment today, the place i'll be living for the next 4 months or so. i splurged, shelling out the big bucks for a huge place smack dab in the center of town. the best restaurants & bars are all easily reachable on foot, as is the office. if you could see the traffic jams here, you'd know how important this is. most of my office mates spend 1-2 hours a day commuting.
i also have a maid who comes daily; she does my laundry and dishes as well. i might as well live it up at these prices.

bangkok yet again

one of my goals of this trip was to avoid passing through bangkok. and sure enough i have failed. i'm here getting my indian visa so i can work in bangalore for a few months.

my ankle is definitely getting better, but i still hobble around a bit. i am certainly not ready for the trekking i wanted to do in malaysia.
