Posting from a Reliance WebWorld netcafe on Brigade Road, one of the most happening areas of Bangalore.
Not much to do in Bangalore as a tourist. Most of the goodness of Bangalore is for people who are living here. There are many cafes, pubs, international brand clothes stores, and restaurants for hip young software developers and call centre executives to take advantage of.
Reliance WebWorld is a cool netcafe with good facilities by Indian standards. Cheap enough too. My main problem with it (I always have a problem with everything!) is the sneaky way it tries to get you to top up your credit in the last half hour of use. And the whole thing of having to create an account just to log in and check your emails and surf the web etc...
Bangalore is nice but I am looking forward to coming home soon to Dublin. If anyone reads this and knows of any companies looking for Java software developers or general dog's bodies, give me a shout ;o)
Posted by Cokane at April 9, 2004 10:35 AMThere are other internet cafes in Brigade road where you do not have to create an account for browsing. I am not sure about their net speed but would be just good enough to check your emails.
Now, the browsing rates (in general) are an all time low because of competition. Before 3 years the rates were much more that this.
Cheers Prashant, Reliance has a good comfortable connection though so I was happy enough with it. Plus it seems to be opening in many cities in India now which is cool. In some places like my own adopted home town of Jaipur it's very hard to find a decent net cafe sometimes :o/
