Last Days B4 Real Class

Tuesday 6/3/2007
Today once again was a half day sort of. Our last day for cultural and diversity training. We were let loose at around 11:30 but had to return at 2 till 4. Finally done with this part... guess we're celebrating tonight. We heard of a Chinese place here local that we will explore today.

One thing i haven't mentioned is how frustrating somethings are here. For example a huge tech company like this only has 1 public printer for the entire campus. WHAT? Then we don't have any refrigerators which would be sweet. Warm water just isn't the same.
A good thing though is we found out that from now on till we leave we don't have to wear ties on Monday and Tuesday for the rest of the summer. So no ties at all required. Sweet.
I've stopped going to the floating restaurant cause its a rip off. Now i eat at the cafeterias where i can get a full meal of chicken and rice for 35 rupees and a drink for 10 which is approximately $1 for a filling meal.

We're in the talks of going to Goa next time we have a 3 day weekend. There is no nightlife here in Mysore because everything closes at 11:30. Oh well.

Real training finally starts tomorrow so I'll let everyone know how it goes. Adios.

So today was a sweet day. Went to work at 9 and we were out by 12:45. Half days are nice but there are so many strict rules here on campus such as you must wear your work attire M-Th 8am-5:30pm. So no shorts, no jeans, no t's... Another rule is that no entertainment is open until 5:30 such as the gym, pool, ping pong, and other shit. So a bunch of us just went by the pool and sat at the tables and play durok. We had to come back at 5:30 to meet our "buddies" who will help us with assimilating and anything else we need, but at this point we have already figured out most things. After dinner we decided to play a full game of snooker. 1.5 hours later we were finally done and called it a night.
