Mysore 2009

Tomorrow will be the day I have been dreading - sitting on the plane for 24 hours plus-, but the day after will be the one I have been most excited about this year. Finally, I will be arriving in Mysore, Karnataka, and experience the culture myself. Until now I have been reading guides, listening to warnings and advices from others, researched online, but never went through firsthand knowledge.
I'm not too nervous yet, as I'm still trying to figure out how to amuse myself while sitting in the same spot for over a day, but I'm sure I will get there soon.

I have read that Mysore is the second biggest city in Karnataka and is also called the "City of Palaces." The people of this area speak Kannada, but should be able to communicate in English as well. The time difference from Eastern Standard time is 9 and a half hours.

As of now, I am clueless about my internet access over there, but will try my best to update on here regularly. Here I go !
