Re: g_b Coming to India
Ethan - As a TG who went to architecture school in Berkeley...I would say that you should ask us where those items that you were interested in might be...India is just as diverse as the human mind can be...i.e. the best sweeis are probably not found in the most logically designed city...just as missed opportunity is not revered in the same cities as where overwhelming success is the accepted norm..
