goooaaallll!!

We hit a sports bar on Friday with a bunch of other Googlers. They were a pretty raucous crew. We ended up singing some karaoke songs too. Pretty good stuff. The guy had his mac full of downloaded karaoke videos that were pretty clearly pirated because the background pictures were of the wrong bands. It was kinda weird to see Coldplay on the screen when we were actually singing Oasis.

Did a bit of shopping on Saturday. Things are definitely cheaper here. Retail prices at the department store were probably half or even a third of prices in the bay area. I also found a pirated copy of The Hangover around the apartment, complete with audience laughter, poor resolution, and people getting up and blocking the camera. I watched it all the same and I think the crazy Asian guy in the film stole the show.

Sunday I met up with Rahul and his other friend from the Gurgaon office at this cinema complex that had a food court and some gaming systems set up that you could pay to play on. Got killed at wii tennis a couple of times then went to 'Cream Stone,' which I guess is like Cold Stone hahah.

One awesome thing is that I get to watch a lot of soccer here. I'm currently watching Chelsea versus Manchester United :D. I don't even know who to cheer for. Both teams are stacked with great players. Maybe I'll just cheer for offense.
