Ca y est c’est confirme, je vais partir 2 semaines en Inde a Bangalore pour le boulot du 9 au 20 Juin. J’ai deja mes vols et hotel reserve et mes derniers vaccins ce Vendredi aussi.

Je ne suis jamais aller en Inde donc ca va etre interessant! je devrais y aller 3 fois cette annee, donc pour la premiere visite je vais seulement rester a Bangalore, si j’y retourne effectivement alors je vais essayer de profiter pour aller visiter d’autre partie de l’asie (Timor? ;)

Le post en anglais aussi a un email marrant que j’ai recus de collegues de boulot a propos de choses bizard que je verrais lorsque je serais en voiture!

That’s it, it is now confirmed I will be going 2 weeks in India in Bangalore for work from the 9th until the 20th of June. I have my flights and hotel booked, my last vaccine jab on Friday too.

I never been to India so it will be interesting! I should go 3 times this year, so for the first visit I will only stay in Bangalore, if I indeed go back then I will try to make the most of it and visit other part of Asia (Timor? ;)

Some of my work collegues who have been there many times are trying to help me with the local culture… I just received that funny email from one of them:

Tales from the car / sightings from the car / or how to keep a sense of humor on the trips to and from Electronic City.
1. count the number of different species of cattle / cows one sees
2. count the number of different  animals you see (birds omitted)
3. unusual animal or other sightings one sees
I saw two guys and a goat on motor cycle
I saw 2 guys herding a flock of young fowl down the street, keeping them in check with plastic grocery bags at the end of long poles.
4. how many people can be squeezed into a 3 wheeler and compare to number squeezed on a 2 wheeler
5. count how many of the 3 wheel taxi drivers drive in bare feet vs. shoes or sandals
