Welcome to INDIA!
Just got the chance to go online in India after 2 days =)
Finally we reached Manipal in one piece and ALL IZ WELL!

Took off with a teary goodbye in KLIA on the 21st of July on MAS. Sadly the plane was same or worse than an AirAsia flight. Virtually no legroom and the seats were very cramped, got a few minutes of shuteye. The inflight food was good though, rice and chicken curry and some curry cauliflower(which I ATE k). Inflight entertainment sucked, they showed Clash of The Titans with no sound from our headphones and the VCD/DVD was so obviously some cetak rompak calar-ed CD.

So then we had a nights' sleep in the Presidency hotel in Bangalore for around 3 and a half hours only. The weather was quite chilly at night. Flew on Jet Airways the next day on a turbo prop engine plane, so excited =D It wasn't as bumpy as you said it would be, daddy. Small plane but the seats was 10 times better than MAS haha.

Landed and said goodbye to the Mangalorians. The road to Manipal was super ulu and small, at times only 1 vehicle could pass through at one time. No signboards or lines on the road. Haven't seen a traffic light in India so far =p After an hour and a half, we reached MANIPAL =D

Settled down in our hostels(mine is Amartya Sen, single non AC room). My room was nice n cosy though not very big. It gets very cold at night this time of year. Next we went to have lunch at the food court. All of us looked like fish out of water, or sebagai rusa masuk kampung kinda thingy. We all stood there looking at the food stalls while everyone was walking here and there and ordering. Everyone was in labcoats staring at these juniors in jeans and tees looking lost haha. There is a Subway and a nice pastry shop, Veg shop(thosai, puree and such), an awesome 200+ food stall, and lastly a MALAYSIAN food stall! It even serves Nasi Lemak and Teh Tarik woohoo. I had a combo meal of butter chicken, tandoori chicken, some nice ghee rice, and garlic naan and tairu(yoghurt) for rs 90. Super yummy and filling =)

Next we went out to buy our simcard and it started drizzling, then it POURED. And we didn't bring umbrellas so we were totally drenched. Bought our simcard and went to Mumbai Bazaar with an auto. Bought a pillow, a soapdish, a rug for the bathroom entrance and a padlock. So far we haven't met any seniors so we were completely on our own, but it was an awesome experience. At night we met Jesse at the gym though, very very helpful and friendly.

We got wet when we went to makan dinner(prawn fried rice, nice and it was a HUGE helping, rs45) and it was the 3rd time we got wet in the rain, tak insaf insaf haha.

The next day(today) we wanted to go to Udupi to get electrical stuff, and we brought an UMBRELLA =D Meet the famous Miracle Seed miraculously by chance before we left and he followed and guided us to Harsha which sells the electrical stuff. Since I'm gona buy my kettle and iron form my senior, I only bought a table lamp. Next we went to a small supermarket which had super strict security for reasons that only God knows. Went and stocked up on snacks and biscuits(my fav) for the long winter =p Bought body wash, shampoo and toothpaste also here =)

Next we went to Dominos for lunch, had pork pepperoni pizza and BBQ chicken, quite nice and very filling. After that we came back and some of them tried to get a broadband but unable. I didn't get it coz its kinda expensive x.x

So right now feeling kinda hungry coz havent had dinner so might go have something now. Its 9.30pm local time and its midnight in Malaysia so good morning and thats all for now =)

We're gona register tomorrow so hopefully All Iz Still Well. Ciao.
