India, what can I say. It is much different than China of course. My arrival in Bangalore last night was not a pleasant experience. I don't know of any country where you have to pay 250 € to bring a second laptop into the country. I spent an hour at customs trying to argue with them that I needed it for my work. No help, I could either pay under the table or officially. And this for a city that is probably one of the best IT centers in the world.

But besides this I enjoyed my first day here in Bangalore. I did not yet explore anything, stayed in my hotel to clean up my mailbox and work on some of the tasks in my to-do bar. To keep the memories alive I went to the Chinese restaurant here in the hotel. Great food, but very different than the real Chinese food.
