Finally, we made it to Bangalore - and our Western mecca: Pizza Hut!  The “American style deep dish” satisfied my craving for non-spicy food, and the service was impeccable (almost to an annoying degree - they insisted on serving every slice for us and, afterwards, they had us fill out a complex customer satisfaction questionaire).  I had an ice tea sans ice (Jecca wisely refuses to let me tempt my fate with the water here).  To cap off our American-in-Bangalore day, we shopped at the Lush store in the mall and watched Will Smith in Hancock at the theater (for refreshments we had popcorn, curry puffs, and an aloo tikka burger - the latter bought during intermission, which apparently all movies have in India).
