One of the main things I have learned while here in India is how people conserve resources whenever possible. There is not a lot of waste. Fuel efficient motorcycles or scooters are used not only to save money and gas, but it provides them with more flexibility to get around more quickly during heavy traffic times. When your commute is typically 1-2 hours each way, that can make a big difference.
Just because something on the menu seems inexpensive, does not mean it will be small. Jason and I both learned our first day at the food court at the office. We saw items on the menu for 65 Rupees. This corresponds to about $1.20 in the US. we thought that would be like a small appetizer so we ordered 2 or 3 items from the menu. Well, we walked away with a total of 5 trays of food (see pic) and were embarrassed, but got to sample several fine dishes even though we did not finish the food.
We have discussed so many things about the foods and handicrafts from all parts of India. Everyone has been very helpful with providing information and guidance regarding where we should go or what we can do.
I will post more things as we proceed through the weekend.
There is a small town outside of Bangalore called Ramnigar that has a roadside restaurant that is famous for it's food. Even though it may take an hour or two to get to, it seems like everyone knows about this and some people eat there quite often. This is where we had our first breakfast in India and it was incredible.
