I’ve had the pleasure of going to the office for a full week now. The work place is extremely nice and the food is good – even though some of my Indian co-workers complain that the caterer isn’t quite as good as when they first started. The usual office complaints.
Jasmina has been visiting Delhi and done all sorts of interesting things. Not me; I’ve just been struggling with work related issues.
On Tuesday we went out for dinner at a restaurant called the the Coriander Leaf. I asked for a pint local beer as I could see that on the menu. Apparently local means nothing more than bottled in India. I got a 70cl Australian Fosters and since it was happy hour they gave me a second one too. I don’t particular like Fosters. We had a starter each and a main course. In India I think it is common to order a set of dishes and then share, but when the restaurant is fancy one like this, then I don’t know the norm. Anyways it was way too much food.
I had some spicy lamb in tomato. Very dry but good. My main course was chicken in some green curry. I didn’t like that too much. Jasmina’s dishes were the opposite around. The spring rolls (they weren’t really spring rolls, but I don’t know what to call them) were not that appetizing, but her main course was good.
The nights we have mostly spend in the apartment. It is a little boring, but very prestigious I understand.
On Friday my two of my colleagues were to return to Denmark, so the local management invited us out at Golfworx. A digital golfing venue with bar and restaurant. A really weird experience since we weren’t really into golfing and there was loud music. The weirdest part – if I have to pick one – was the coach why tried to teach us golf and his consistent “feel good comments” like “Good shot, sir” every time a made a 20 yard shot. Not impressive!
