The Travelling Pinball Machine
November 6, 2003 6:09 am GeneralI went into town to see if I could get a flight to Bangalore, India to visit the Wipro guys early in December. It also would have coincided with the Bangalore Linux conference. The girl at the desk was extremely helpful, and started looking at the various options that she had. Seemingly November through January isn’t the best time to make your way to India as a lot of Asians are travelling home from NZ and Australia. At one stage I think I was routed through about 6 different places, which might have been fun for a rainy day. Finally we both gave up, after trying all possible combinations and put my name down on the waiting list. With needing to get a VISA [and perhaps shots?], I think I have a window of about 10 days, before there is no chance. Seems that I should book my flights to Sydney for Christmas as soon as possible though, otherwise I’m swimming across the pond. And probably the flights to Adelaide too!
