First night out into Mysore

Last night was our first night into mysore. During the day we had all been drowned in paperwork and more endless presentations. The American recruiters (who are two women) took the girls out for a "girls night out" for the last night they were here. So they guys got together and decided why not have a guys night out too. Traveling from campus is really easy, you just call up the travel desk and they arrange a cab, train, bus or whatever for you. Eight of us took one cab and eight of us in another.

On the way over there it was the typical India I thought I was used to seeing. Event hough I've seen India a few times before, it still happens to amaze me everytime. Just the scene of it all, the crazy driving, the roaming animals and all the people just going about their lives. I love it, somehow it makes me feel like i'm at home in a weird sort of way and at the same time it feels so surreal. It really felt surreal and when I realized I was about to go to happy hour with some work buddies on the other side of the world in India.

We got to this hotel that had a restaurant and a bar in it. We decided to go eat first. The restaurant was called "Ghufa" and it means Cave in Hindi. It was aptly named, the decor inside was just like a cave. They had fake animals like bats and scorpions hanging from the wall. The wall was made to look like cave rock. It was amazing, all the servers were dressed as safari men too. The food was amazing too, anything better than any of of us had eaten so far in India. I really like the group of people that I came to India with, they're all really friendly and pretty hilarious.

Afterwards we went to the bar in the same hotel. It was called Opium. Now, the idea of drinking in India was a little weird to me at first. Everytime I've come here it's either been for family or temples or something like that. I didn't really know what to expect, but the club was pretty amazing. They played rock music (a lot of linkin park) the whole night. King Fisher beer actually rocks, it's good beer. We all chilled and drank a little bit and later on the girls joined us after they got finished with their dinner with the recruiters. The whole night was a blast. Still no hot local girls though, no local girls last night at all actually haha. ohhh well.

Afterwards we all came back and sat at the floating restaurant. It was closed but there's no doors or anything on it so we sat down at a table and talked for a while. It was pretty cool, everyone jokes around and it's great. One of the biggest jokes of the night was the "sexual sneak attack". One of the bulletts on our Sexual Harrassment presentation said that "sexual sneak attack" qualifed for sexual harrassment. None of us are really sure what that means but it sounds kinda fun haha.
