Great place to see contemporary Indian art. A branch is opening in Chennai.

Hong Kong

Back from a lovely wk in Hong Kong. Stayed in a wonderful hotel in Central called Ice House. More like a little apartment, so there was a kitchenette and I could put leftovers in a fridge and then microwave them the next day. Had lovely dim sum. great noodles. wandered around, enjoyed the people watching. Went up to Victoria's peak by bus, which was great. Busy unpacking today. Have lots of New Yorkers and other magazines to read.

fresh milk

I think if I knew how/where I could get milk that has just come from the cow. I do not think the cows come to our doorstep like they do for some houses, but I think they are back in the depths of Shivajinagar.

www

so now if I put in a www before thefabulousdebbie.blogspot it works, but if I don't I get the go daddy page and the link in blogger to my blog does not use the www. And now when I try some other blogs on blogspot I also have that problem.

all is fine now

strange, but now it works.

Saw a great concert at max mueller - Michael Schiefel doing jazz zinging with a layers and loops machine. reminded me a little of laurie anderson and pamela z.

blocked????

this is so strange - I can't access my blog through blogger, but I did find another way to get there. everytime I go through blogger I get a go daddy page.

driver and lunch

I must be unclear on this 'lunch' concept. Driver picked me up at 10, we did some errands get home about 1 pm. I said ok, I do not need you until 4 pm. He said (I think, sometimes hard to tell), I'll wait here. ok I said, figuring he could do whatever he wanted til 4 pm. At 4 I came out, he is asleep in the car, we go on a few errands, we get to Alliance Francais and I say ok please wait here til 9 pm, he says, ma'am no lunch, I said ok go get something to eat and come back. He says no money.

I end up giving him money - but- I don't get why he didn't go eat lunch betw 1 and 4 - his answer I think when I asked this was no money. but then why didn't he bring a lunch - or does nobody do this here, bring a lunch? Or he could've gone back to the hub of drivers at the Co that hires these taxis and get some food there? or why does he have no money, I mean he does get paid a salary, there is some very cheap food out there.

or was it all just a ploy to get me to give him money? ack I don't know and it feels so awkward. does it matter that he is a taxi driver, but assigned to us, does that matter? I want him to have a lunch break, but don't think I should supply lunch. Is that reasonable?

so hopefully he is out getting something to eat. he has long breaks, I say when I am coming back, I don't care what he does inbetween.



note to blogger people - I've been posting more on livejournal under debbieann, but will try to get back here too. We FINALLY have internet at home which will make everything easier.
