My Trip To India! Part ONE

Bangalore, India...



That was the destination of my 5 day business/tourism trip...



Had a nice dinner the first night in an Afghani restaurant



The next day headed for work in a nice & calm area



While on the way to work, you would see many weird scenes one of which is a cow in the middle of the street



Another scene, would be a man urinating in the street...



A common one, is untouched dogs



However, the weather was amazing...



Although it is the monsoon season and there was heavy rain for few hours each day



Their chefs are ones of the best



And the restaurants are well designed



Hospitality is everywhere



And here we suddenly passed by a "Waleema" for a Muslim wedding



Below is a net above the ground floor so that if kids jump from any floor in the mall, they would fall unharmed



Ayub who used to take us around in the famous "auto" car



Banana's in the truck


A Toyota corolla would be considered something rare & only well off people can afford it


Greenery is spread all around the city & its respective streets



A woman opening her side street shop in the morning



Something written in one of their 100 languages on grass, they are creative huh



Selling fruits on the side of the street just like Jordan.

Pay & Use public bathrooms



One of their most famous local restaurants



Selling corn in the street



And nice looking fruits, although it didn't taste good at the hotel



And here is a nice shop in a famous road over there



The Ambassador is one of the most famous cars there



Some shopping, since stuff that are locally made are cheaper...


A fountain in front of the hotel



The picture speaks by itself



A Pepsi advertisement



People chilling in the streets


Streets are the British way


An area where the aristocrats live



The air breeze is just amazing



A Mosque



A Church



McDo there



A packed bus



Another shopping day



Swimming pool in the hotel



View from my room *EDITED* (HDR Effect)



By the pool



Too cold to sun tan



Major form of transportation



The start of the Lablagh park



Some ducks



A lake filled with plants



Paradise on earth



Amazing greenery



Two trees & a palm



A bird



A very old huge tree



The roots of the same old tree



Flowers & Plants










































































Will continue with the rest later, too tired, I took 400++ pictures :D

Hope you like them all

Learned a lot about the indian culture in those 5 days

In every culture/country there is the good/nice and the bad/ugly...
