Day 3

I have been getting adjusted to the lifestyle of India. There is so much poverty and slums that surround our hotel. The traffic is just amazing. There are so many scooters, motorcycles and compact cars but they all seem to gel together. There were alot of near misses, but no collisions. Last night for dinner, we went to a place inside our hotel called Republic of Noodles http://www.republicofnoodles.com/. It is a Thai restaurant. It had really spicy food. I got the soft shelled crabs with a roasted chilli paste as a appetizer. It is true that eating this hot burns twice. Whew! My main entree was a red snapper stir fry with noodles. Now, I know why the name of the place has noodles, they were delicious. I finished off dinner with a chocolate mousse that chilled my palate. As far as adult beverages, let's just say we all fell in love with King Fisher Premium beer, which comes in 24 ounce bottles. We loved it so much, the hotel ran out. They told us they would have to MAIL the vendor to get a new supply. When we expressed our dissatisfaction, they said they would call the vendor directly and have it in the hotel in all 3 restaurants by Friday.We are planning an adventure on this trip. So, its like an adventure within an adventure. George Carlin had this routine about people's stuff, which definitely applies. Check it out: http://www.writers-free-reference.com/funny/story085.htm.
My adventure will have us flying from Bangalore to Goa, India, which is a resort town with night life. Renowned for its beaches, places of worship and world heritage architecture, Goa is visited by large numbers of international and domestic tourists each year. It also has rich flora and fauna. We are leaving Friday afternoon and returning on Sunday night.
