Well, well, well. Getting up this morning was quite hard. Temperature inside the room has risen to 27 C, because I haven’t yet figured out how to start the air conditioning. But after a hearty lunch (toast with jam and some cereals), I headed off to work. The shuttle is an old bus. A very old… Weiterlesen »
Well, the day has finally come. Frankfurt to Bangalore, that’s 9 hours of sitting on board of the plane without the possibility to stretch your legs. I still got sore muscles from that flight. But I have to say that Lufthansa’s haute cuisine (finally a place where this expression is really appropriate) isn’t too bad,… Weiterlesen »
I should become an oracle. As predicted, 28 kg is definately not enough for almost 4 months working abroad. They should consider that! But after a lot of repacking and re-repacking, I got everything in…that is, everything except the stuff I left behind. I hope I won’t miss any of it. After all, I have… Weiterlesen »
The great weekend has finally arrived. I got everything wrapped up, bank business done (don’t keep that one waiting for too long, my credit cards didn’t make it in time), been to the hairdresser, and already started packing my stuff. Unfortunately, Lufthansa allow only for 20 kg of luggage + 8 kg hand luggage. That… Weiterlesen »

Well, after having a confirmation that I am accepted from my manager in India, and from his manager, I got another one. This time, It’s from the Vice President – HR. Wow! I think it should finally be fixed once and for all. And I know that I won’t have to drive. As far as… Weiterlesen »
Still looking for any reasons why India is better than the US? I found one: the visa. When I listen to my friends, who pay 700+ € (in advance, of course), have to fill out dozens of forms, and have to visit the embassy, once across Germany, I lean back and chuckle lightly. Applying for… Weiterlesen »
Quite far away, this India… About 6300 km… 4:30 h time difference 9 hours flight But hey, Lufthansa takes you there. Or any other major airline, as far as large cities (such as Bangalore) are concerned. For me, it will be Lufthansa, and I have my ticket lying here beside me on my desk. I… Weiterlesen »
Well, I finally got this blog up, but I haven’t been lazy up to now. I’ll sum up what I’ve done so far to get to India. Once upon a time, in a company far, far away… (Autumn 2005, SAP) It all started with the question: „Where am I going?“ No, not in my life… Weiterlesen »
Hello and a warm welcome to all of you! Finally, I have managed to get this blog up and running, and no I just have to add some content. If you want to know who I am, look at the About Me page. I have written down some of my motives to write this blog… Weiterlesen »
