Indian Adventures- 6 weeks in Hyderabad (2/27-4/15)

Fly British Airways out to London and then Hyderabad. I flew business class so the seats went flat and I received menus to order from. I was pretty spoiled to be able to fly like that. I watched numerous movies including Lucy, The Judge, Book of Life, Xmen, and 100 foot journey.

I arrived into the Hyderabad airport at 04:30. I was supposed to ride with some woman named Eleanor but she was taking too long and the guy from the hotel thought I was wasting my time so he had me ride with another Deloitte person. Luckily for me this guy Sashi was originally from Hyderabad and speaks Hindi. I felt instantly better that I would definitely make it to my hotel safely.

We arrived at the hotel and they send you through a metal detector which I find odd, but whatever. I received my room key (1536) and headed up to see where I would be living for 6 weeks. Its a nice room overlooking an empty dirt lot with trees that people keep cutting down and walking away with. I spent a few hours unpacking, and trying to stay awake. I took an hour nap, grabbed some brunch with new Deloitte friends I met, then took another nap. Went up to the club level lounge on the 21st floor- we get automatic status- to have some appetizers for dinner as I wasn't that hungry. Tried to go to bed around 9:30 pm or so an then woke up a few times including at 1:30am for about 45 minutes until I finally convinced myself to go back to sleep.

Woke up around 6:00 and got ready for work. Met Daniel, Ryan, and Grace downstairs for breakfast. Had an omelette, "bacon" and some toast. We get free breakfast with our hotel room. After that we all got into a car and headed into the office. The office is a bit overwhelming in that there are a ton of people all the time! Luckily I went in with people who had been there before, so I was able to use their knowledge. It felt a little hot in the office but I think that might've just been my nerves. I worked some and then went  down to lunch around 12:45pm to the cafeteria on level 1. I had egg Biryani. Everyone in the office is super nice and really just wants to help you in anyway they can- so people kept stopping by to talk. They were appreciative of the chocolate I brought from home. I finished my work around 4:15 and headed home. I worked out (5k run, some curls and bent over rows, 50 lunges, 50 squats, and 100 sit ups), showered, then headed up to the Club lounger for some quick appetizers and a few beers. After that I just came back to the room to write in my blog and watch a movie.

As I'm writing, my eye lids are getting heavy so I think its time to give in and shut down!
