To the Gateway of India

Posted on: Saturday, Sep 29, 2007

Where do you think we were going? Right. We were heading to the Gateway of India in Mumbai. Another driver was taking me there, through the courtesy of hubby’s colleague, a very nice Indian man. I was about to finally see the landmark myself after all the reading and seeing it just in the papers [...]

Hotel lounge

Posted on: Tuesday, Sep 25, 2007

This is the lovely hotel lounge on the ground floor. I like its design and the elevated area. It was pretty nice. I had been used a bit being inside that I didn’t notice the smell of the overall atmosphere. I had just been down here for a few times, and sometimes to the hotel [...]

The service driver

Posted on: Monday, Sep 24, 2007

Meet Munjit, the driver. Opps, we can’t see him here. But you notice that indeed the vehicles in India are right-hand drive. Munjit was the company driver when I was there. He wears a white turban around his head. He was picking me up to hubby’s workplace for a visit and tour. Mumbai [...]

Posted on: Sunday, Sep 23, 2007

The first time I heard about Alexa was through our anti-spyware program.

Mumbai constructions

Posted on: Friday, Sep 21, 2007

The flat, rather lifeless shot of the buildings being built in Mumbai, which to my observation is blooming with many new high-rise constructions. This was on a trip with Munjit the driver. Well, India is pacing after China and I can clearly see their progress to industrialization.

Frontier trivia the day:

Yahoo’s mybloglog?

Posted on: Thursday, Sep 20, 2007

Today I signed in to the favourite social networking site, mybloglog. It brought me to Yahoo, letting me sign in using my yahoo username! Obviously something is going on. It says “by merging MyBlogLog account with your Yahoo! account, … ” So maybe they just have some changes or upgrades, but until now I couldn’t [...]

Netherlands Visa Requirements

Posted on: Wednesday, Sep 19, 2007

So I guess my amended married name in my passport didn’t suffice, they have to have our married license to see my married name. It was just not in their list of requirements. Darn!
