Update 1 from the other side of the World.........
That's right people I have made the 20 hour flight around the world and
have
touched down in Mumbai. So that's the first good thing.....flight
over.
Although the time seem to go quick while I was in the air. Just wanted
to
send a quick note and let everybody know that I had made it and just a
few
of the things I have picked up on....
1-Business Class, the only way to fly. Lay day seats and my own TV
screen....
2-Had some time to catch a movie on the way over - 8 Mile (2X), Die
Another
Day (2X), Rush Hour, 2 Week Notice, and a few episodes of Friends,
Frazier,
and Spin City(did I mention the 20 hr flight).
3-Airport - nothing more than a trap to get me lost and hot. I walked
out
and there were no lie about 1000 people all lined up behind a guard
rail
waiting on people. My job....to find the one guy with my name on a
sticky
note.
4-Sports over here........cricket 24 hours a day......other than that I
did
get to watch WWE in my room. Nice.....that's the only American sport I
have
send thus far (got an update on the Masters).
5-Heat - for those of you traveling over here.......HOT. I must be
walking
on th equator in my room.......Hot last night when I get
here......getting
hotter by the min. Let's see, it's 11am here and we have already
complained
6 times about the heat and they finally brought in fans to keep us
quite.
6-Last but not least......Driving. Imagine a Sat. night race in
Bristol
everywhere you go. I thought I could, but there is no way I would make
it
out alive. The do not value cars, bikes, mopeds, or pedestrians here
as
much as we do. The other thing I noticed last night on my ride in,
they
don't care much for headlights. Some cars have them, some don't. Does
not
seem to be a problem to anybody but me.
Oh well.....this is my update so far. We are not doing a whole lot
today so
I had time to write. I will try to give updates a long the way and a
few
pictures. Take care and I will see everybody in a few weeks.
