Internet places in India are interesting. Fortunately, since India is becoming a powerhouse in the IT industry internet hubs are everywhere. The only thing is you never know when the power might cut out or how fast the connection may be. Some days in the same place it might be lightning fast and others dial up slow.
The locals who spend time in these places are unique as well. I saw the same girl (who saw me in the same clothes) two consecutive days just chatiing online. Others I've seen surfing for porn (in public). Some places have put up signs saying porn watching is not allowed, but when they give someone a little cubical for privacy? I don't want to think about it.
Off on a little tangent here. Two guys who were "working" at one of these internet places both had no qualms about sticking their finger up their nose digging for treasure, while they were talking to me. Then after they found it just flicked it away. One guy sat down at my computer shortly after he was done in order to enter the password for me. I disinfected my hands with hand sanitiser as soon as I could. Incidentally he was the guy I caught watching porn.
I've spent most of the day today in a nice little internet place in Mangalore uploading photos. The younger guys like to come in here and play shooters or strategy games over the network. Most speak english so it's funny to hear them talk shit to each other while shooting each other. I don't know why, but it's amusing to me to hear them call each other bitch, asshole, and say "shit, shit man" in their accent. By the way most don't speak Hindi here. The major languages here are Kannada, Urdu, and Telugu. I can't tell the difference, but one thing I do notice is the pitch of one of the languages is very high.
So anyways new photos up now, but I'll work on the captions slowly. Sorry.

That is fricken disgusting. So much for hygiene. All is well here at home Cammer. Mom keeps all your postcards in a safe place and you should see the look on mom & dad's face eveytime they get a new one from you. It's quite comical. They also make sure that the 1st sentence that comes out of their mouths when they talk to Chi Hai or Hang is that they got a NEW postcard from you. Again... silly parents more like PROUD PARENTS. Dad was excited to hear from you on Father's Day... oh and I signed your name on the card. Take care of yourself we LOVE ya lots.
P.S. Q lost some weight too YEA!
