Yippiih!! After more than two month of waiting I finally have internet at home again. So I can continue blogging and also communication with my friends have become easier again. In the next couple of days I will try to add all the events that have happened since January.
Today I spent most the time with finalizing the internet setup. Everything is at the place it is supposed to be and everything works well.

Hyderabad
This weekend I spent in Hyderabad. The main reason was the job fair there to hire some people. However, since it was a long weekend I decided also to spend the Friday and Sunday there.
Friday I visited the Film City. They have a couple of really nice parks were many of the Indian music videos are taken. The shows and attractions are more relating to Hollywood, however with some Indian influence. I liked the Cheerleader in the western stunt show :)
All in one a very pleasant day.
Saturday I went to the job fair and afterwards went with the colleagues from HR to some of the pearl shops (hyderabad is famous for that). Afterwards we had a nice party. Everything came together, nice people, good food, good talk and plenty of drinks.
On Sunday I visited the salarjung museum and took a city tour.
The flight back happened from the new hyerdabad airport (see next post).

Fun with the driver
The road that we normally take back from work was blocked today and so we had to take a dirt track. At some points that put some gravel on the road and at one point there was a lot of gravel. During the first try to pass it the car got stuck and I had to help to push it out of the gravel.
Thinking that my driver would see that with our Indi Car we did not have any chance to pass I went back to the car. Well, I was wrong... my driver was thinking that with just enough speed he could pass, so he pushed down the pedal, slided on the gravel and ended up in a small ditch. After I checked whether he was OK I had to lough really hard because that maneuver had looked REALLY funny.
Since we had the incident with the police at the same route and since he is a little superstitious I cannot convince him to drive this route any more. This results in a 20 minutes longer way to work every day.
