After returning home from the Kabini River Lodge yesterday morning, Karl and I decided to venture out into Mysore to look for a new lens for his digital camera. We had the entire day off so we decided to take advantage of it and explore the rest of Mysore. We decided to try and walk in the direction of major buildings and came across a hotel called Sandesh the Prince. The hotel looked western, complete with a doorman, spa, various world times hanging from the wall, and a nice continental restaurant. Most importantly, it contained a small pub called The Road that looked like an American club with an exclusive DJ, full bar, hookah lounge, and dance floor.
10 of us decided to go to The Road later that night to “partake” in its evening offerings. I’ll try and post some pictures later this week. We had such a good time; we made reservations for Friday night for our entire group of 16.
One of the things that really stood out in the club was the western theme and décor that adorned the interior. Wait staff and bartenders were wearing cowboy hats, vests, and boots and the room itself contained 3 or 4 classic American cars. The DJ played American hip hop music and the bar served a variety of exported beverages. Even the bathrooms housed western style toilets and urinals complete with TOILET PAPER. In fact, our entire group commented that The Road felt like a place we would have all visited back in Minnesota. Not only did we have a great time, we were also able to alleviate some of the homesickness we’ve all been feeling since we arrived.
That reminds me, my co-workers owe me multitudes of big, thick, juicy hamburgers with fresh green lettuce, ripe red tomatoes, and a few strips of greasy, crispy bacon when I get back into the office on the 21st. For all of you in Praxair Land reading this blog that have been taunting me with food, I’ll be cashing in soon. You know who you are!
