AIRPORT:
Just like to write and remember some of my experience here in Bangalore....not sure why sometimes we normally called that and sometimes called, Bangaluru!...anyways...they are the same...eventually..ha!.
From Malaysia , this is not many flights out here as you can choose...especially those affordable ones, per say...since landed ..it was a nice airport, nothing commendable just as there are stores selling lots of goodies and duty free stuff as usual...buy this was priced in USD!, please take note....not Rupee.
When landed....2 of my teammates...cannot find their luggage so was told that will arrive in 24 hours time..meaning the next plane......nonetheless, their service was excellent......soon after the next early morning, their bags were delivered to our hotel...FOC..........again...FOC......I'm impressed. pst pst...don't share this as perhaps they will charge us next time!.:D
TRAFFIC:
ah ha.....once we completed those forms for the lost luggage...we went out of the airport looking for our cab.....Ops..!..nowhere to be found...and we do not have SIM card (tell you more later). Fortunately I met some of my x colleagues and they had taxi man who is so generous to call our hotel to check....but somehow....can't get the taxi...perhaps we thought that we spend too long going over the lost baggage registrations.! hmm...well no taxi....and there were some booth that sells taxi tickets..to the town...BEWARE - the prices vary......and there is a nice gentleman...just told us to go line up and get the airport taxi...which is way much cheaper then the booth. darn the booth!.
SIM CARD:
about this matter as promised.....you cannot get SIM card once you landed...you must head to town..and a shopping complex called Phoenix market city , in there , they have 2 vendors...one is called JIO and the other ia AIRTEL...so get the AIRTEL and the JIO for permanent residence only. Once we told that we need photos and some documents to fill-up...with the advanced of technology i guess, it was not needed anymore...they just snap it with one of the phones...done!. and all ready in 1 1 1/2 hours time.....we are ONLINE!
Getting Around!.
Well the famous one UBER....if you don't have it , please install is App Store or Play Store right away. This is a must for getting around here, it's like the DEFAULT options. LOL. and it was darn affordable...
PLACES to visit:
Well from here everything looks near but the traffic will kill all the time you have...so choose and plan wisely if you want to go somethere, it was need overnight or whole day starting from 6am. Some places to recommend are OOTY, MASURU, BANGALORE PALACE, MILITARY MUSEUM, TIPU SULTAN PALACE. Well if you are travelling on these places...please get UBER HIRE..this is a MUST as it is the most convenience and faster way to get around all those areas. Furthermore you can check with the Lobby of your hotels for more information, they will gladly help.
FOOD:
Well much of the food here is SPICY.....i meany burning SPICY ...for most of them....try a little first before you engulf the whole thing...for 1.5 weeks we could not find any different kind of food except those fast food like McDonalds and KFCs......finally we went to this place called VGR BANGALURU which is next to Phoenix market city we found malaysia food.
JOURNEY ENDs:
Well..after spending 2 weeks here...what i can say is...the PEOPLE are friendly and helpful, service at the hotel were superb.
