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...

Spring-rain:
Thanks a lot
That tree was amazing..its roots are just huge...
Not a lot, basically, I watched this video
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nx9tIpAd_NM
Before making the decision regarding buying the camera, as the dillema was between those three professional SLR cameras: Canon 400D, Nikon D80, Sony Alpha-A100...
I am using Canon 400D...
It really depends on your budget...and whether you want a professional camera, where you can change & buy lenses and have more settings & modes or just a normal camera...
Some people are more comfy with Canon, others are with Nikon...
I got friends who bought like mine, others who bought the Nikon...basically they've got the same features, only few differences between them...
I always think at the end of the day, it is the photographer, the lenses, & the settings that plays a role in building a great picture...despite the type of camera...a bit philosophical, yet logical to me :D
Hope I was able to help a little bit, if you need any further help, please don't hesitate to ask, and would be more than pleased to help further
Thanks once again
..I just want a normal Camera..I don't like complicated technology n stuff..specially that i am not an expert ..just a fan..
I will look at my options..
ya3ni Canon..how much is it? and Can some one simple like me use it without getting crazy? because i don't wanna to see many buttons
Thanx Mohammed..I appreciate it
Lol...no it would get you crazy...therefore, just go for a normal Cyber Shot cams...the Canon D400 is about 3500 Dhs...
