I went to Delhi this morning to meet with the Expat coffee club. My 12 mile drive took 1 hour and 45 minutes. I took my camera this time to snap a few pics as we are driving. It is difficult to take a picture in a moving vehicle with this amount of traffic. I’ll post a few of them so you know what some of the scenery is on my way in. Only a couple of them came out ok. Once again the men were out numbered at the event. I would say 75 women to 3 guys. It is definitely the social club for the house wives of Expats. I met a guy who just moved here from Ireland. I might get together with him some weekend. I also met a couple of the ladies who will be going on the white water rafting trip. One lady is from the Philippines and here husband is from NJ. The lady enjoyed my “old man” story. The other few ladies going on the trip were a little older. It should be an interesting group.

It was the first time I have spoken for two hours straight since I have been here. My voice was starting to get raspy. It was just nice to actually not struggle with communicating in English and see that everyone is struggling with he same issues of India.

Something different here also is if a Pearson coworker or family member is in need of blood, HR will send an email around the office for people to donate.

I am wondering to think it is socially acceptable to pick your nose here. I have noticed many people on the street picking their nose. One of the new hires does it quite regularly. He sits straight down from me a couple of seats and one time he was going at it for a good 5 minutes. I decided to walk around and say hi to him to see what would happen. I took the long way to walk which he can see me the entire way. His finger was still up his nose. I give him the heads up kind of hi and he returns it with his finger still digging around inside his nostril.
