Comparison Shopping


Today our we went out for a walk in the morning. We walked from the hotel up Residency Road to Brigade road where we had coffee in the local version of Starbucks--Cafe Coffee Day. On the way we saw lots of leftovers from the recent celebrations. Many cars and rickshaws have flowers and or Banana Leaves attached to them.

Many stores do as well. There are also random piles of trash which looks like the leftovers of celebrations.

In the afternoon we had our driver take us to a local mall where Anna and Cindy did some comparison shopping to figure out how prices compare with the states. Anna commented that the mall was nice, but not as many "teen stores" as Valley Fair. We had lunch in a pizza place where Anna had her standard, and Cindy and I shared a Paneer Tandoor Chicken Pizza. Then we did a bit of looking at household furnishings and came back to the hotel pretty exhausted.
