I still can't get myself to believe it. No no, it's not the fact that I'm actually in India (I can't believe that either), it's that people around here honk their automobiles SOOO MUCH. I mean, it was pretty bad in NY with people honking at any given second, but it's horrendous here. But the thing is, they honk for ENTIRELY different reasons.

We were reading in our culture handbooks about India (yep, I'm learning about India through a book now), and the reason that people honk doesn't mean, "Hey a$$hole, MOVE!" Instead it can mean a variety of things, from, "Hey watch out I'm here," to, "I'm gonna pass you, so make sure not to accidentally swerve over." There're even people who honk to say hi and such. But when you're going to work and there're five hundred vehicles honking all around, it definitely feels different.

Work is going pretty well, right now I'm helping design a course module for an American company. Basically, they have American managers who need to know about India, and Indian managers who need to know with how to deal with Americans. Interesting to see the parallels between the courses. It's that you have to come up with parallels for each. (Indians like to take their time in conversations so that they can get a better picture of the whole. Americans like to be straight and to the point and get business done. == That sort of thing.)
