You know, if the locals don't give much of a crap about the official name change, why should i?

Gowda, my driver, picked me up from the airport (after an interminable, Office Spacesque wait in line at Immigration) and honked a lot less than some of the other drivers.  STOP means slow down and right of way is determined by who got there first, more or less.  The President Hotel is very nice.  I tipped the bellhop 100 rupees (about US$2.50) because i have no clue how much is fair; he seemed happy enough.

I'm beat.  I don't think i'm jetlagged, which is a good thing.  Shower and bed now.
