Germany Trip Experiences Part 3

Hey all, sorry for the long gap in writing my blog. Was a little busy with work (Well thats the best excuse that i can give). So, when i reached my hotel and started listening to some good old indian melodies, i thought its time for lunch. So, picked up my well packed but slightly damaged suitcase opened it and had my lunch. Well, ofcourse i had to atleast heat it. That was me cooking alone first time. Every time i used to cook i had my mom beside me giving instructions. The very next thing in my mind as soon as i thought about my mom was to make a phone call back home and inform that i reached home. Well, from now on i need to maintain two different time zones. Thanks to my iphone where in can maintain any number of clocks. Saw the clock and it was 7 in the night in india. Picked up the phone and called my mom. Talked to her for about 10 mins.

Mind you i can still hear my wrist watch ticking, it was that silent in the mid of the day. So, just wanted to see how the place is and wanted to feel the cold. Locked my door and just went down to the reception. I needed to ask where is the cafteria, food court or canteen what ever they call. I was trying to get some information as i was to live there for the next 40 days. Then came a beautiful lady (god, she was really pretty). She came upto me and said "aldsk2@2jlljfa8d70a87dfasdf8a" that was german for me. I said i am an indian. I dont know german. By this time i was used to the sign language. Thanks to the taxi driver who had dropped me at the hotel. She tried hard to speak english and was enough for me to get the info i needed. I just went a walk around the hotel just to see how are things here. It was really cold, the hotel had a open air place where people can sit and talk have a cup of coffee, and relax. The country was so neat, every place was clear and tidy. I liked the hotel. Thanks to my office. Office ... ya .. i had two of my colleagues who had already come here before me. So, i went up my room had a shower, and called my friends who were at german office and to my luck, they both are staying at the same hotel. Hurray ... got some one with whom i can talk. I called them, then suddenly after talking for some time, my friend said "do not call from the hotel room phone, its too costly". Do you believe that a local call from my hotel to the office where my friends work cost me 17 euros for 5 mins. That will be 1071 ruppees only. WTF. From then on i was the real indian IT Guy working onsite. Savings is the only thing in my mind.

That day went on like that with some sleep, songs and movies. Later in the evening my friends came from office and then started the actual enjoyment. Rock and Roll baby ... Meet my friends, Sagar and Varuni with whom my whole trip in germany went on like a holiday trip. I thank them a lot for this experience. That night i slept well. Had a good night sleep. From Next day tuesday, a new journey to begin, OFFICE and WORK. Two things in my mind that i need to concentrate. I closed my eyes to sleep thinking only one thing - "The next 40 days are going to be the best in my life both personally and professionally" .... GOOD NIGHT.
