The previous blog post mentioned us ending the day in a brewery pub (Toit). Afterwards a select few of us went on to another brewpub (Vapour) Which was quite nice and seemed to fancy for us but turned out to be reasonably priced. We enjoyed the craft beers to a playlist which seemed composed by a twenty something years old undergoing a midlife crises, but was very enjoyable. After finishing our beers and watching the pub quiz downstairs for a little while we moved on to go back to the hotel.
On the way we decided that we would go and look inside a club just to try the ambiance. But when we wanted to go in we were stopped and asked for 3000 rupees (about ) which we answered with a round of laughter and a :¨It was nice meeting you¨. The some Indian man asked us where we where from and told us to go inside and have a good time, finishing with the sentence :"A gift from an Indian". So i'm pretty sure he paid the entree fee for the four of us that where left. Inside we payed way to much for our drinks and danced. Up stairs we met some drunk middle aged Chinese women wanted to dance with us. At the end of the night we went home with some tuk tuks and went to sleep.////
The next morning a visit to the ISRO satellite center was planned but was canceled giving us time to catch some sleep. Not to much tho since breakfast was only served until 10:00 and we had to gather at 11:15. We then went on a one and a half hour bus drive to an institute called CREST which is part of the Indian institute for astronomy. Their we listened to a talk about the institute and the telescope in the Himalayas that it operates. Afterwards we got to visit a (class 1000) clean room. Which was the most exciting part of the visit because we had to get all dressed up in special suites to enter. ////
On the ride back home we got stuck in traffic jam which turned out to be caused by rallying political parties. The jam was so bad that some of us got out of our bus and took a metro. Eventually we all arrived back at the hotel.
