quiet weekend

So far, it's been a pretty quiet weekend.  Tracy and I went to commercial street on Saturday to do some shopping.  Today, we went over to O-zone (a community where some of the expats live) to play a few games of volleyball with co-workers.

Later tonight, we'll be back over there again for a big BBQ feast which should be a lot of fun.  I've got a few pictures from commercial street.  It was really busy, very hectic, and nice to walk around and try and bargain with people to get the best deal possible.  Though I have to admit, it can get tiring after awhile.  It's like shopping for a car all the time in the US.  You know you can get something for much cheaper than they're quoting you for it, but you have to work at it to get it.

My next post will be later this week about cellphones.  Americans pay what for their plans?......... $50-60 on the low-end.  iphone users and those with data plans are probably racking up at least $100 a month or more.  Indians pay less.........and I mean A LOT less.

Also next weekend, we'll be in Kerala riding boats in the jungle on back water canals.  It's going to be a lot of fun and very relaxing!
