A classmate of mine from yoga wanted to go see a Thai exhibition in the city, hoping to find some nice Thai clothing. I wanted to follow around somebody who knows the city for a while.

When we arrived, we discovered the exhibition was tiny and stunningly dull — there were some people selling lamps, candles, and incense. So we left and walked around downtown for a while. We decided to check out the National Centre for Performing Arts (NFA), where some people gave us free tickets to the opening night of the Indian Symphony Orchestra, which was pretty cool. Sadly, they were playing mostly Mozart, which is tedious, tedious stuff. My friend, Deepa, who had never really had much exposure to classical music, was asleep in 10 minutes flat.

Afterwards, we grabbed a sammich and then hopped the train back to our respective neighbourhoods.
