Red Dirt

Another little observation about Bangalore is the red dirt, which creates red dust. I'm not sure if it is too expensive to plant and maintain grass here but there's not much to be found and therefore the dust abounds. I think that's why most people here have housekeepers b/c sweeping and mopping are a daily "must".

Being a typical woman I moved here with 14 pairs of shoes (that's after giving lots of shoes away before moving:) I wear just 2 pair of flip flops (one of which i bought here) and haven't touched the others due to the dirt. It just really doesn't matter which shoes you have on, they are going to get dirty so why bother?:D
Again, I hope it doesn't sound like i'm complaining...i really just like sharing with you a taste of what it looks like here in the "Garden City" (Bangalore's nickname).

Was that picture taken near where you live?

yes, right down the street. It's actually like a feeder road or service road next to a big paved road. it looks primitive but there is a big huge asphalt road right next to this:)
