Day 3 (15 November 2016) in Sangli, India

Had excellent sleep and and woke up fresh. After Breakfast I headed to the conference center and stayed at work until lunch. My colleagues, Keith, and I decided to go for shopping  (unspecified shopping), and we asked Gope our Indian colleagues to accompany us and he gladly joined us. One of the local conference organizers drove is to one of the mall, though we did not find that attracts us to buy. We then went to another shop, this time by Bajaj (as the Ethiopians calls it). Before we enter that shopping center, our backpack had to be sealed, and a security guy sealed each zippers shown on our backpack. The purpose is straight forward, i.e., not to pick any items and put it in your backpack.
We're not lucky enough to find anything attractive in this shopping center either. Finally, we decided to go back to our hotel, this time by foot. It was not that far and we walked through the village, by trusting Gope's GPS navigation. We arrived at our hotel without any issue.
Sugarcane transportation!
These typical appearance of Sangli streets!
Guess what, when we got back to our hotel after nearly 2miles walk, our dream was to have a cold beer and relaxed until dinner time. However, the hotel does not have a bar at all. Well most hotel in Sangali do not serve any alcohol. Thus, we had to walk back to one of the really found liquor shop to get beer to our room. Finally, we got what we wanted.
This is the beer you may like to enjoy whenever you visit India!
