Today (October 2) is Gandhi Jayanti which is a national holiday celebrated to mark the birthday of Gandhi. I don't know what the Indians do to celebrate but I will ask my class tomorrow when I go to work. All I know is that alcohol was not served in the hotel (per a letter sent under my door) and was not served at the Hard Rock Cafe where we had dinner.
We ventured out to a different mall today (GBK) and had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe which is in the mall. This was the first trip outside of Hitec City (the enclosed area the hotel and work are in) for the three new arrivals training the other class. It was fun to see the city through their eyes for the first time, especially their reactions to the traffic and people on the streets. We had a very enjoyable dinner...I got my favorite - a mushroom swiss burger! MMM.
After dinner we went over to Golkonda Fort (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golconda_Fort). I originally wanted to go during the day but was told by my cab driver that there was a lights show at night so I should go at night. The tour was still cool but I feel like we could have seen more during the day. I'll post some pics here in a bit.
I still have a list of things to get done this week so I'm hoping I'll be able to fit it all in. It is hard to believe I've been here for two weeks now and will be leaving on Saturday. I'm looking forward to seeing my family and friends again soon!
