Yet another beer quest

The Tourist Rest House in Agra was good to us, but we checked out early this morning and caught a 6:30 am bus west to Jaipur. It took about 5 hours, but it was quite comfortable and there were only about 15 others on the whole bus. The scenery was mostly farmland, and we passed lots of camel-driven carts--a sure sign we'd entered Rajasthan. We got to Jaipur around 11:30 and checked into the Hotel Pearl Palace. This place is immaculately clean, definitely an anomaly here in India. We feel a bit spoiled actually, even though it's nothing brilliant. We had some lunch at the rooftop restaurant (where they use clean water for their fruits and veggies!) and took a siesta. Deciding we needed a bit of exercise for the day, we headed out to the main street in Jaipur, in search of a bar. We found a nice hotel with a rooftop bar and waited about 30 minutes for the man to bring a Foster's. We had asked for Kingfisher Lager, so he replaced the Foster's with what we had ordered about 15 minutes later. Nige took one sip of the beer and said "Ugh...this beer is flat!" He had the most disappointed look on his face I had ever seen. The waiter quickly rushed off to get us a new beer, but when he hadn't returned about 15 more minutes later, we left a few rupees for the peanuts we ate and were out of there. Really wanting a beer at this point, we continuted our search and found the Bouncer Bar. It was almost like a real bar, with lots of people in it (all men), a few TVs and some trendy music playing. The owner had no Kingfisher Lager, so we had a few Foster's and a Hayward's 5000 Extra Super Strong (both were crap, but we didn't care at this stage). Walking out of the pub, we realized how much better India would be if they just made beer available like normal countries do (I think some would call this 'beer philosophy'). We went back to our palace for our first full Indian meal since we had been sick and headed to bed.
