One of the interesting things that has changed since I was in Bangalore last year is that Google Maps now knows that Bangalore is more than a relatively uninhabited forest of green blur. It's actually pretty cool because it means that I can see where I am and where I might want to go and if that's walking distance. Well, at least mostly. In the above map, I am staying at the Oberoi Hotel which is either 1 or 2 on the map. Still, it's a lot better than it was. The A and B points are the Cauvery Emporium on Brigade Rd and Commercial St, two great points for shopping. Yesterday I was out on a quest for pashmina shawls and silk scarves for Anne and Lynn (armed this trip with shopping lists) and those were the best places to start.
