I never expected to spend my first night in Bangalore drinking at a heavy-metal headbangers bar, but, well... there you go!

We spent the afternoon attending some orientation classes with the Indian "Freshers" (ThoughtWorks-speak for "new hires"), then headed across the street for some Indian food at "Bombay Post" (verdict: delicious). After dinner, some ThoughtWorkers took me, Christina, Colin, and Paul to Styx, the heavy-metal bar. It was quite a treat, actually; they have several video screens were they show music videos, and everyone sings and headbangs along!

Unfortunately, there is some new regulation that all bars have to close at 11pm, so we had to call it an early night.
