Incoming departure

Time is running low now - soon it's byebye for me.

I have been trying to think of stuff that I need to do before I leave but I can't think of much. I have my passport with visa in it, vaccinations, knowledge of what will happen to this apartment I live in currently (it will be empty for 1,5 months and then a friend moves here) and my toothbrush. Oh, need to buy a new one before I leave.. But basically everything should be so cheap there that I wouldn't even need much clothes with me. And as it's hot as hell there currently (42-46 celcius) I won't be using much clothes anyway. So, what am I missing? :)

As people keep on asking me about it, I asked the company (Idex) what my job description is. The answer was "After your arrival we will provide you an orientation & in that we will let you know about your job profile & the work which you need to do as an intern". So, eh, what on earth does that mean? They don't even know what I will be doing? Well, I don't worry too much, things will work out in some way. Although could be also in a bad way..

When I was establishing this blog I spent quite some time thinking of how to name it. Of course all the nice URL addresses were already taken especially as I decided to be all-English. So I asked some friends for suggestions. They really had some good recommendations knowing that I will probably get sick of the food there - suggestions like "Shitstorm in India" and "Slave in India". Unfortunately I chose this different (and maybe a bit more conventional) name, "indian-accent". I think I will be writing some (or a bit more) stuff about the Indian accent and how strange it sounds - you all know Apu from The Simpsons. My personal guess is that it will take me two weeks to stop smiling whenever they talk, but I'm hoping I can hide it well during the more official things. I'll let you know how I managed.

P.S. Jaipur isn't 500km from Delhi - only like 250km. Don't know where I got the 500km from.
