Blasts in Hyderabad

Mike good plan to stay in the hotel and pass time with the computer, I hope it settles down for you.

Hang in there Mike. You can always have pizza delivered...just pat down the delivery man before paying him

Glad you're safe!

Your predicament gives me an idea for a kevlar kilt belt and sporran. I wonder if the thrift store sells 2nd hand body armor that I could use for a converted kilt jacket?

Hope that brought a chuckle for you Mike.

Mike,

You lie low and take care of yourself.

Cheers

Jamie

I head about this on the news this morning and thought about you immediately. Glad you are safe and do plan to stay that way.

Computer and pizza sounds good to me.

Can you get good pizza in India?

Stay safe and well.

Yes, the restaurants on top of hotels that cater to budget travelers have a rather predictable menu of American, Israeli and European food that almost always includes pizza, to eat to while they play Bob Marley, Eric Clapton and the Eagles over and over again.

Also, there are Pizza Huts in most major cities.

Globalization at its finest.

Why just the belt and sporran?

I think we should try and make kevlar KILTS and kilt jackets/vests!

I went to your blog, Mike, but found no entries there, Sunday afternoon, ET US time.

Other than the explosions, I hope you are enjoying yourself. Did you take Lonely Planet's guidebook to India? My 2005 edition has some 7 pages on Hyderabad, 22 pages on Andra Pradesh.

Just remember, the only 2 phrases you need to know are "Keetna hai?" (How much is it?) and "Gusalkana kahang hai?" (Where is the toilet?)

Started wearing a lunghi yet?

Is the monsoon waning?
