The final week of our stay in Bangalore has arrived. We were all excited to head out for our final weekend in Bangalore, which began with Hard Rock happy hour on Thursday night. Following happy hour, we headed over to UB City to check out Skyye Bar, a rooftop bar that has great views of the entire city. It is a cool place, but was pretty dead, so we headed to a club around the corner called Bacchus. Turns out Bacchus was pretty dead too, but it is a smaller club, and when 25 of us entered, we pretty much started our party. We didn't leave until after the cops arrived at 11, to inform the club that it was time to send people home.
Friday a group of students and I joined the professors to go look at an alternative location to house students in India next year. Turns out that housing American students that attend a university known for its partying at an ultraconservative Indian graduate school wasn't the best idea - and so using the some location to house next years students is no longer an option. The new location is much nicer than where we are currently, and most of the issues that the students are currently facing, most importantly the not so quality food, would not be a concern at the new location. Some of the students walked away from the viewing a bit bitter!
That evening a couple of the girls and I went to a restaurant called Little Italy, where we had some delicious pasta. We got there a bit before it opened (well, an hour) and therefore got to walk around the mall that was conveniently located across the street from the restaurant. After dinner, we went to Manchester United, a bar that was right around the corner from the restaurant. Many others from our group joined us at the bar, which had unlimited drinks for women for $10 and $20 for men. I have been asked more than once how they can make money off of this, and when the Americans are around, they don't. However, the Indians don't drink nearly as much as Americans, so they can make money off of the locals.
After 2 nights of going out, and with a big week ahead, Saturday and Sunday were spent on homework and relaxing. We leave Bangalore nice and early next Saturday morning - at 5:00am. Before then though, the students have a quiz, 2 tests, and a presentation to give, along with packing up all of our stuff. The week will be a busy one, but the count down to leave time will keep us all motivated!
