The prices there were reasonable I thought. Yeah, they are overpriced.:) But why didn’t you try their restaurant? The prices there were reasonable I thought.

It looks crazy! Like an elephant fused to the underside of a tortoise with a giant crystal on its back. They do have those meal schemes, so I won't say too much about them. Hey, I did buy some overpriced peda, didn't I? I bet that fed some kid somewhere. Aesthetic appeal?! It looks crazy!

It's a bit unconventional and a modern structure. They think this might transcend existing boundaries, not like some traditional temples in parts of Kerala and Tamil nadu that don't allow Non-Hindus into the temple and discourage them. Besides they have some free meal schemes for the kids in the corporation schools. So I don't mind their winding maze of shops unless they try to hawk it in your face.

Every exit leads to a maze of shops selling everything under the sun. The uneven lawns were so funny. Like some bad barber had gone to work on them. It was like someone had sewn together a thousand tufts. The science museum was funny. Remember the telephones that were missing their receivers? @Marc: Well, we didn't go there to see a rock concert, so I won't say anything. All the good bands go there though. No one wants to come to Madras. Ha ha, yeah, the ISKCON temple was rather funny. Every exit leads to a maze of shops selling everything under the sun.

But the peda was good :)) and old science museums where half the knobs operating the machines don't work, and large botanical gardens with uneven lawns. But Coorg was beautiful. Rather a nice trip, really. Yes, nothing to see in Bangalore but huge commercial complexes pretending to be temples (What a fraud!

A couple of buildings and such but the city is more interesting than Chennai. Mysore is just the usual palace and tourist traps. I really thought you were going to Darjeeling. Shame on you. Arts college students too. There’s nothing to see in Bangalore. A couple of buildings and such but the city is more interesting than Chennai. Mysore is just the usual palace and tourist traps.
