I moved into my trainee house, only to find out that it was the home of a friend I know from AIESEC - Abishek was on AIESEC International during my term on the UK MC so was very random to run into him! Such a small world - his mum runs a trainee house so there's currently me and a Japanese girl, Shoko there.
Have spent some more time hanging out with the AIESECers who are very cool and very motivated, as well as one evening playing poker and winning then subsequently losing all my chips! I've been out to the markets to try my hand at a bit of "negotiation", and been trying to learn some basic Hindi.
I still need to find a SIM card but once I do should be pretty much set for the next couple of months. The only slight hitch is that the place I'm working at told me at the last minute that they've had urgent meetings come up, so instead of starting today I'll need to start on Friday - cue me spending today rushing around trying to organise a last-minute trip - with any luck I'll manage to get on a train to Agra tonight and spend the next few days taking in the Taj Mahal, so it's certainly no disaster!!
Will keep you posted, and hopefully be able to upload some photos soon...
