Safety First..or if not first then really high up on the list...

We spent the morning at HyperCity. This is Bangalore's version of Super Target. Well it's actually the UK's version of Super Target and it opened in our neighborhood yesterday. It is the talk of the town and I actually ran into several neighbors while we were there. I also ran into the guy who is starting Walmart in Bangalore. He was apparently doing a little market research and since we look like people with keen business senses (or stick out like a white sore thumb around here) he thought we would be the perfect people to talk with.

We were like kids in a candy store finding all sorts of hard to find items like olive oil, canned pears and diet coke sold in cases. It really is a wonderful store.

So all this to say, this was a very modern building, very clean, somewhat efficient in it's operation and it even had a parking garage...it was almost like being home....almost....

We are still in India. We still had to enter through metal detectors. I still had to have my purse searched. Our driver, Channa, was, as always, present. There were still throngs of people. There
were still sales people following me around encouraging me to buy. It still took us close to an hour to check out.

My favorite part was going into the very modern parking garage and seeing this.
















Just makes you feel safe.
