Well I passed my second exam. Yippy! I'm pretty relieved since I was alittle scatterbrained this past week. You can only cram so much info into your brain in such a short time. So now I am ready to go back to my hotel and sleep but my instructor, Sandeep (San- deep), is cracking the whip. I'm only kidding. He's standing behind me looking over my shoulder as I type this blog laughing. :) But in just a bit we will begin working on learning about network infrastructures. There is no rest for the weary! :) Actually that's ok because if we are ahead of schedule then we have some wiggle room, and that means less stress. Koenig has 4 locations within India, and one of them that sounds wonderful is Goa. It's suppose to have ... read more

I wanted to show you the Karol Bagh market.... It's only half a block away from where I'm staying. I could probably find it in the dark because at the corner is a public restroom (it's more like a 2 walls, one the men pee on and the other barely blocking your view) and you can smell the urine. So from there you turn left or right and enjoy the crowded market place. Stores and vendors line the street. While rickshaws, scooters and cars weave around people and animals alike. You can get most anything there from the typical saris to Reebok sports wear. BTW...you can't really get that much of a deal at the Reebok store, too bad. But I wanted to tell you about my favorite fruit stand. Go back to the urine corner, ... read more

Happy Diwali! Some know it as the Festival of Lights, but it's the New Year of luck and wealth. It's celebrated by Hindus, Janis, and Sikhs; each one having their own special significance but I'm too worn out to go into it all. I was fortunate enough to be invited to celebrate Diwali with one of the instructors' family, along with 3 other students. Let me tell you it was so fun. We ate so much food that I wasn't hungry for breakfast. LOL I don't know the names of the food but it's all vegetarian and it tastes soooo good. :) The whole time people were setting off firecrackers outside (actually all over Delhi). Some of them were so loud that they sounded like bombs. Yami, one of my classmates, could hardly wait to set ... read more

To answer everyone's question yes I did pass my test. Yippy! One test down and too many to count but that's ok I can handle it. I decided to bring my camera to school today so you can see what it looks like. This is the traffic in front of Koenig. I would say that it's rush hour traffic but no that's just normal for here. Here is the school, it's nice especially for here. Finally I'd like you to meet my instructor Himanshu. So now I'm working on the next section of my MCSE course, it's the managing and maintanance of server 2003 environment. I like to refer to it as "How to turn my brain into mush." After class I met up with a friend and was given a tour of the building project ... read more

I just wanted to show you some of the everyday things... You have to put your room key into this little wall pocket in order to have any power. Once the key is removed everything turns off, including the mini-frig. Now if that's not being energy efficient I don't know what is. Hmm...I wonder if we could come up with a modified version of that. Oh yes this is my breakfast. Every morning I have toast, black coffee, and mango juice. Yum! Here's my bathroom! See the bucket that's my toilet. I'm just kidding it's really my bathtub! Actually I'm not to sure why I have a bucket. I honestly don't have a bathtub, and the shower is just out in the open. There's nothing dividing the shower from the rest of the bathroom. So if ... read more
