Weekend in Bangalore

This weekend, many TWUers flew to Goa to enjoy the beach. In Bangalore, there was a political protest which caused the majority of shops to be closed until the evening.

Future TWUers: The Java cafe is a sit-down but informal 24hr resturant in G block which has passable hot food. Service may be slow.

Total Mall and Oasis Mall are both within a short rickshaw ride of Diamond, and both will supply your grocery and clothing needs more than adequately.

The Sunday brunch buffet at the Citrus restaurant in the Leela Palace is elegant and has an enormous selection of delicacies and deserts to taste, including gourmet cheese and lots of meat as well as many veg dishes. The cost is rather high but I consider the experience more than worth the cost. The gardens and architecture are beautiful.

Elsewhere in the Leela there is a shopping mall which contains a bookstore that also sells board games and nerf guns.
