Day 1


Today was our first full day in Pune. Breakfast is included in our stay. We had some sort of potato curry with naan (bread). A man from J's  work walked over and showed us where Elephant is, its only two doors down from the hotel. We met with the boss of the company and he showed us around the buildings. I am going to make a presentation on Monday. Hopefully I will be hired, which would mean J and I would work at the same company. We purchased a sim card for J and were shown where an Internet cafe is located. Thankfully we could email our parents and let them know that we are safe and sound in Pune. 

We skipped lunch and both took a nap until late afternoon. We walked into the main building of the hotel for dinner. We met two German students who are interning at a nearby IT company. They were watching a cricket game and explained the riles to us. It is NOTHING like baseball. One of the guys is staying in the main building. He showed us the proper way to eat Indian food (with your right hand only) and explained the dishes to us. Dinner was great, not too spicy either. We had two courses, one with bread and one with rice. Afterwords we finished watching the cricket game and headed back to our building. Thankfully the water heater was working so we got hot showers!
