Day 5 - M.G. Road and Commercial Street

Today we headed out for some shopping in the more commercialized areas of town: Mahatma Gandhi Road (M.G. Road) and Commercial Street. The city is building a metro system which is causing a lot of construction all over town and seems to take away from the beauty of the city some.
We tried a pizza place for lunch and I ordered the oddest thing on the menu - the "conizza." Turns out it tasted the same.

This is me enjoying my first sugar cane juice.

We went into some of the most famous sari shops in Bangalore: Aanchal and Deepam.

The interior of Deepam was really nice.

This is me trying on one of the sarees.

This is what $800 U.S. can buy you here.

The streets by night:


We stopped for dinner at Woody's.

I'm enjoying a poori - a fried flat bread. I'm also drinking mosambi juice - mosambi looks sort of like a lime and tastes like a sweet lime.
