Indian Adventures- Sunday 3/8/15

For some reason, even with a black out shade, I can not sleep in here! Even after going to sleep at midnight I woke up around 7 am. Met up with Brian, a senior manager from my office who just got to India this morning. Gave him the run down then came back to my room to do my laundry list (there are not enough options in my opinion) and finish a little work (more like pushing things through so they get handled). I scheduled a manicure at 12:30 to try and get some more of the color off my hands. I was disappointed in the manicure to be honest and the color still remains. Sigh- oh well. First world problems. After that we headed over to the Novotel for Ryan's bday (Ryan, Grace, Brian, Mackenzie and I) and were unhappy because the pool party was replaced by construction on the pool and a kids bday party. There was a man who was basically doing Kareoke sitting under an umbrella, a blow up slide, a pottery station, a foam archery set, and a ring toss onto a fake elephants trunk. We decided to just have a drink and some food then head back to the hotel. But we were thoroughly entertained until that point. The girls and Brian stopped at the mall to visit Hypercity and just look around. We got some more leggings, Mackenzie got lemon juice to try to get the color out of her blonde hair, and Brian just tried to stay awake. We also stopped by a Starbucks and Mackenzie bought a new straightener. The food court seems to be on the top level of all the malls I've been to. As we were going around I was explaining things to Brian like oh they kind of follow you around in the shops so that they can help you immediately. He said he noticed how the men looked at all us girls and how it made him uncomfortable. Told him I felt better with having him walking around with us and he said he'd accompany us anytime. We headed back to the hotel and I ended up taking a shower and just ordering room service for dinner. I think all the carbs I've been eating drain my energy right out. I had vegetables for lunch and it was amazing! Corona is one of the most expensive beers here. King Fisher is the beer of choice. Drinks are not quick to come out to the table- no matter what they are.
