This time I'm staying at the Grand Mercure, and my room is very nice! The "front door" is on the left, and on the right is the kitchenette and table. They helpfully provide fresh fruit, which would be great if I could eat it. (wait, I think I

Looking the other direction you can see a nice couch, a small but usable balcony, and a TV tuned to a cricket match!

Just behind the TV is the bedroom (and the TV swivels so you can watch it from the couch or from bed - clever!), and the bathroom and whatnot.

Outside the hotel there is what looks like a pretty nice pool. (if you look closely on the left you can see a pebble border around it, which is a nice touch)

Across from the pool is one of the hotel's restaurants. I had dinner here on Sunday - it was quite good! They even have burgers, although they are made of buffalo.

On Sunday Bharath took me out to lunch and the mall, where I got talked into buying this Indian cricket jersey. I also learned that it's hard to take a picture of yourself in a mirror unless you don't mind the picture being blurry or yourself looking kin

While walking around the neighborhood, I saw this sign, which I hope doesn't have the same connotation as in the US? (hmm, this might mean segregating garbage?)

While it was still light I walked around a nearby park, which was full with people and was quite nice.

Right next to the park there were a bunch of cricket games going on. The guy in blue is in the middle of bowling - I was very proud of this shot!

This helpful chimp/trash can marks the entrance to the building NI is in, which is helpful because I haven't seen any signs indicating which building is which!

Near the end of India's innings in their game against Bangladesh in the Cricket World Cup, a lot of people filed in to watch. India ended up winning by a comfortable margin. (109 runs)
