Bangalore Journey...

Ever seen such long fire extinguisher? Not me...
This photo is taken from Grand Ashok hotel where I went for the Branded clothes sales about 3 weeks back. Really good warehouse sales... armani exchange, zara, D&G, FCUK, DKNY etc... all originals... I guess they are surplus from exporting goods...
Very good deals... one long sleeve or short sleeve shirt/Tshirt for only S$15-20. I bought so many... I think I don't need to shop for the next year already. Oh ya... also bought a Gucci pants for S$60... can't imagine myself buying Gucci in my life if it's at the normal prices.
1st December, I think this is the world's Aids Day. I didn't know about it till I see long line of people walking along the roads... as if they are on a demostration (luckily its a peaceful one)...




You guys must have been wondering what has happened to me. =) Well, I'm still well and kicking here in Bangalore. Like what people always say... "you will get to open your eyes when you go abroad... you will experience new things that you never knew..." Very true indeed in every aspect. However, more importantly, its how you handle such experiences that matters. Sometimes, you got to just change the way you see things to suit the new environment.

It is a relatively small hill 1,478 meters above sea level, 65km away from the Bangalore city. The bus journey took about 1.5-2hrs.
When we reached the hilltop after the numerous turns and passed a really narrow entrance gate, we decided to find a cooling place with nice view to have our lunch as we came prepared with lotsa delicious food like fried mee hoon, curry chicken, apple pie and bread etc. No humans can resist such delicacies, not to mention our distant cousins - monkeys!
It was really quite scary to lunch when you got the whole family of hungry monkeys staring at your food. Luckily some dogs came along... also eyeing at our food... but at least they helped to chase away the monkeys. We did give these dogs some food for their effort.
Tried to do a pananormic view of the place but the photos did not stitch up that well (click on it to get enlarged view)... haha.. partly also because I took the left side in the afternoon and the nice sunset in the evening. =Þ
Basically its juz this kind of view, very steep vertical cliffs on the perimeter of the hill. Weather not that cooling up there because it is of higher ground. It's only until the evening time when the winds start to blow and the usual cool (cold) evening temperature drops in.
Here are some more of the photos...
Wonder how does this cow get here on the hill?!
And my favourite (love this kind of background sky)...
