Today I started out by heading to a Barista. Barista is the Indian version of Starbucks. What this means is that their coffee is bitter and overpriced. However, it is the ONLY real coffee to be found in India. Ahh the things I will suffer for a cup of java every so often.
After Barista I met up with Shashi and we went to McDonalds. McDonalds is the Indian version of McDonalds. The menu is different, however you are still greeted by the same underpaid teenagers with English as a second language. I had the chicken sandwich and Shashi had some weird veggie burger. They have normal veggie burgers as well, but the one Shashi had was called some odd name that was a cross between western advertisement language and Hindi. My ears decided to block out the name of it because my gentle brain is not ready to behold the horrors of advertisement speak in another language.
After McDonalds, we saw Slumdog Millionaire. The movie was good and I recommend it to everyone. Good story, good music (no line dancing till the end credits), and good acting. It does show a darker side of India, but that is just context.
Gotta run, getting ready to leave tomorrow.
