Conquering India Again Part 2

I have checked that the hotel has a gym. This is an important criteria. It was a mini one but I didn’t mind the size so long as it is a decent gym.



Was it decent? The treadmills work but the speed was screwed up and I had to adjust based on my 感觉. The elliptical doesn’t seem to be connected. Zzzz. The weights  were 2kg, 2.5kg and then 5kg. I duno what happens to the in between. On all 3 mornings, I was the only one in the gym and I didn’t mind, rather than sharing the tiny and not too well ventilated gym with another sweating human beings.

I didn’t have time for bfast and the spread wasn’t too interesting anyway. There is a subway joint right at the office ground floor. This was my lunch for both days and I was pleased “normal” food. Hoho. 

I had a short day on the 2nd day. I was advised to leave the office at 3pm bcos there was some mass celebrations taking place and many of the “small roads” would be closed. The celebrations consist of many people gathering to try to build a human pyramid in attempt to retrieve a hanging jar of curd. Yes, I didn’t mind leaving office early and I obviously didn’t want to be stuck in a mass of humans. On my way to work, I was already stuck bcos there were cows crossing the road. 

I had time for bfast on the 3rd and 4th day and this is what typically bfast looks like. 

There is only 1 non-veg and the rest of the spread are Indian veg cuisine. At least they served eggs too. 

The rest of the trip was uneventful and I made it safely to the airport on Thursday evening for my flight at 11.40pm. Yes, it was super tiring. I had Burger King for dinner and slept most of my flight home. Again, I had the empty middle seat. Yay! 

I survived Friday and even managed to make it to the gym at 11am after playing dead for 1.5 hrs. Laundry and unpacking can wait. Comforting desserts after dinner on Friday night. Hoho. 

Home again! One more business trip conquered! Will I stay in the same hotel again? No!!! I cannot take the musky smell, the lousy gym and bed. My colleagues advised that I shouldn’t attempt any of the non-branded hotel. Orh.
