03.05.2010

Today will be m 5th day in India and my 'employer' (a local NGO, which I can't actually remember it's name) is coming to meet me later in the morning.

Couple of days in India, I'm getting more and more familiar with this country. The most important skill you have to mastered in order to survive in India is actually patience, but not other things. You have got to wait for everything, and punctual is really not their cup of tea, not at all. For a 0900 hours meeting, you may need to wait until 1000 hours before they appear.

Electricity and water cut are the most usual things in India. Within this 5 days , there's 2 days electric cut and 1 day water cut. Can you imagine that?

Language is a great barrier for me, because of the lack of use of English back in Malaysia, and nervous. I think this is the best environment to push myself, with English as the sole language of communication.

I'm not from a developed country, so I'm not really have that kind of great 'cultural shock' faced by people from developed country. Nevertheless India is a totally different country from which I came from, so there's always new things for me to discover and experience. And I can tell you that, the experiences are great.
