Day 2 - New Office with New Colleagues

Day 2 -- Dhak Dhak

Today, we had to go to meet out clients in their office. Looking forward for it but was a bit nervous with the wish that all goes well. Irham came to pick us up and we went to the office which was just closeby. Its actually a house rented by YKL to use it as its office. We had a meeting chaired by Andi. Irham - Andi showed us the presentation telling about their organization. It was so good to meet the team. Its a small team of 11 including 3 girls. All are Marine Sciences Graduates. There was Irma, Rosalina (Ochha), Anti, then Irham and Andi, Lookee, Edol (Sorry for wrong spellings), Naseruddin. Sorry not able to recall the names of 3 others.. :(((.We got a room for ourselves.Irma got Rambutan(Its like a litichi in India - just the covering is different) to eat, Kopi for the morning drink. By the way, Rambutan means hair in Indonesian language and hence the name Rambutan for this fruit as it has the skin like hair..:)

Later lunch - it was rice and some Tofu. It was good but a bit spicy. Also, as I had showed in my profile presentation that I love choclates, they got banana cake with choclate and one more sweet dish later in the day. Day ends. Sabine and myself created some plans for the assignment and shared with Irham. He said, it looks good and was happy to see the same on the very first day, but I was apprehensive that have we actually understood our scope as there was not clarity with the requirements. And issue is till you don't know the details, requirements and as is situation, it's difficult to comment and talk about any solution or present anything. So, bit nervous and tensed that whats going on and what will happen.

Back to hotel, meeting with Annas and then it was dinner time. We went to a beach hotel. We got to know that we should give the money to the Taxi driver as soon as it stops else the meter keeps running if we take time in giving him the money. We paid 200-300 Rph extra. Anna B helped me to get something for the dinner and actually it was good. I had steam rice and spinach type of vegetable (which was actually just boiled with salt) but I likd it as was eating something good after a long time. But to tell more about it. Javier was most of the time scratching himself as mosquitoes liked him so much. He is sweet and hence mosquitoes wanted to taste his Mexican blood. Then we had lovely couple dance by Jessica - Vivek and Tom -Sabine. Lovely.Sabine is good dancer and singer. She knows so much. Wish I knew 0.1% of what she knows, it would have been good.

I still have to write about my trip from Delhi to Makassar and about today before I close my day. Keep Reading!!!
