India trip

Very dated post and pictures from my India trip.

I was sent to New Delhi for a site walk through for a project. I didnt expect much from the trip, and heard from boss how it would be a little dusty, and a little dirty, and a little inaccessible, and a little boring.

It was scheduled to be a very short trip, for boss had another country to fly to after this india trip. We left sg on monday evening, after 5 1/2 hour flight, we reached india at 12.15am sg time. The hotel recommended by the clients cost $200 a night but doesnt look very comfortable hor?

But it's great to be staying in a hotel alone, as I took the opportunity to chain smoke, while lying on the bed.

There wasnt tv shows to watch except for 24/7 news, so I kept myself entertained with a novel.



The air in New Delhi is shrouded with dust, and that is the first thing that impacted me when I stepped out of their airport.

I can even stare at the sun as the dust is so thick it blocked off much of the glare.

But the end result of the photographs are pretty hor!






The food at india doesnt suit my palette, but luckily for me, Boss had an equally hard-to-please stomach. While our breakfasts and lunches were nothing to rave about, we had great dinners. One of the evenings, we had dinner at india's largest mall, but most of the shops are not open for business yet.

And I saw charles and keith there too. Laoda, C&K's presence is everywhere!

There arent more pictures because most of my time at india was spent working. I didnt had chance to do real shopping either, partially because I didnt exchange currency before my trip, and relied totally on boss to pay for my meals. Without money, it was a little troublesome to do any shopping.

And I dont have credit cards, before you want to ask. Dont earn enough.


That marks the end of my india business trip. Looking forward to my next one. =)
