Check me out…

Last day in India and I’m flying out today at 1130 or so for Singapore for a night there and then tomorrow back to good ole USofA. I’ve been gone for 2 weeks and did 2 countries I’ve never been to. That’s been a joy to me. I also got meaningful work done with our offices in two different countries. Still need to get to the UK and I’m planning on doing that next. I spent last night drinking some beer, eating some good Indian food, and considering the view from the RainTree rooftop bar. The RainTree staff has been exceedingly kind and courteous and I’d heartily recommend the place if you are traveling to Chennai. I’m still struck by what I saw in both places but the spirit, zeal, wonder of India got me most of all. Perhaps its the anthropologist in me struggling to get out.

Yesterday a work colleague took me for Southern India cuisine for lunch and it was very good and spicy! I had tandoor lamb and rice last night cooked to perfection served with abundant beers.

Now I’m playing the waiting game to get on to Chennai Int’l Airport which can take as an hour to get to in traffic and then there is the waiting around for customs.

I’ll be back in Singapore for one night tonite and then I’m homeward bound. Catch you in Singapore for some final thoughts and perhaps a Chilli Crab or two
