well, this morning started out a lot better then yesterday. As it turns out, yesterday the hotelstaff forgot to wake me and take me breakfast order. i did set my own alarm, so i woke up on time, but i was a bit passive towards breakfast. This morning though, i got my wakeup call (without even asking for it, im glad i dont have a free day here where i could sleep late, because im sure i would get my 7 am wake up call even then) and i got to order breakfast.
This morning i also met a new guest at the hotel, a fellow Peak-IT imployee (i think his name is Danny) who is spending the rest of the week here in Delhi. He just got back from three weeks of Shimla, and had some pretty nice stories about what awaits me there.
As for the real reason im here, the training, that is going well. The amount of material we go through in a single day isnt very large, so keeping up isnt a problem. The example exam questions are a whole different matter though. In general i do understand the material, but those exam questions are very tricky, trying to catch you on every possible technicallity
As for the train bombing (received a comment about that), that is quite a horrible thing that happened, but to assure everyone, it isnt the train ill be taking, even though they both go north. Being here in India (or just this part of the world) does really put things in another perspective though. It is almost daily that the newspaper mention someone getting sentenced to death, some explosion killing many people, and more of that stuff. Off course the fact that i only have three TV channels in my room doesnt help much either. Two of them are movies only, and the one i watch most is CNN. Now i havent been keeping an exact count, but since i arived here in India, about 100 people were killed in Baghdad alone in terrorist attacks, and this kind of stuff is constantly repeated on CNN. Quite a big difference from our relatively sheltered lives in holland, were the worst thing we have to worry about is whether wouter Bos is really becomming minister of finance and that sort of stuff.
well, thats all i can think of writing right now, ill post back again tomorrow, see you!

Hoi Victor,
Fijn dat je nu weet hoe je ontbijt kunt bemachtigen; met iets in je maag werkt het veel fijner, denk ik. Wat serveren ze?
Goed dat je de stof kunt bijhouden, en wat de proefexamens betreft, laat de hersentjes maar kraken hè!
Enne, onderschat de impact van ons vaderlandse nieuws niet: behalve JP en Wouter Bos hebben we hier ook nog Bram Moscowitz!
Hou je taai en zorg goed voor jezelf! Groetjes,
Marinus.
Heej,
Het Eindhovense nieuws is dat vandaag op carnavalsdinsdag PSV speelt tegen Arsenal wat dan weer mogelijk spanningen kan opleveren tussen de Engelse supporters en de carnavallende mensen in de stad. << Ah op dit moment scoort PSV 1-0 >>
Dus wordt even afwachten wat er na de wedstrijd gebeurt. Voor de wedstrijd hebben alle Engelsen in ieder geval een introductielesje gehad over wat carnaval is en ze hebben allemaal een boerenkiel gekregen :)
Grtz,
Maarten
lol @ de engelsen met carnaval, we hebben ze iig goed verslagen!
Yep, tis 1-0 gebleven en voor zo ver ik weet zijn er ook geen rellen geweest.
