Yesterday I did not do much. This morning I am getting ready to meet some members of the Gurgaon Connections at the Pullman Hotel at 9:30 am. Last week I came on the wrong day. Today is the right day. After taking some time to decide what to wear...Western or Indian...I decide to stick with Indian because I have to take the tuk tuk there. I blend in better with Indian clothing on.
I leave the apartment early..about 8:15 am. I don't want to be late. The tuk tuk driver is not sure exactly where the Pullman Hotel is located. I direct him to turn right onto Sunset Blvd and turn left onto MG Road. We get there, but wants 80 Rupees.
I get there a little early. I have a chance to meet Penny, one of the organizers. There are a few businesses displaying their products...gold jewelry, baby clothing, and scarves. People trickle in a few at a time until about 11 am when most people arrived. I especially enjoyed speaking to a woman from Israel that has been here for a few years. I bought a ticket to the Australian High Commission BBQ for 3,000 rupees and a ticket for an Oktoberfest celebration at the Pullman Hotel next Friday from 7:30 pm - 11 pm. One of the members is a singer in the band...2999 rupees.
At noon I walk out to the street to catch a tuk tuk back to Eli's place. I stop at Le Marche grocery store for toilet paper, an avacado, an onion, a lime, and coconut oil for my hair..575 rupees (6 rolls of toilet paper is 447 rupees).
Not much else to report.
