I arrived at Bangalore airport after a 9 hour flight at 01:30 AM. Just 1.5 hours later I was able to leave the airport with my luggage. Furtunately the driver was patient enough to wait. We went to his car. Some roaming dogs around us. I think I had all vaccinations possible, but how about rabies? Anyway: I was too tired to think about it. The streets at this time were quite empty. Quite uncommon in the streets of Bangalore as I learned later. Around 4 AM I finally made it to the appartment and checked in.
Around 7 I received the first phone calls weaking me up. The hotel management told me that I have to change the appartment due to an mistake. Great. I packed all my luggage again and moved over to the other appartment. OK, the view was better from there. Around 8 AM I got informed that my driver is waiting for me. Hm, actually my first working day should start one day later. Anyway I could not sleep anymore and decided to go into the office. Totally jetlagged I just picked up some toasts for breakfast. This ride took me more than 1.5 hours and I arrived around 11 AM.
Due to a company policy I will not write any details about the Avanade / Accenture Office in Bangalore. However, I was really excited about the masses of people working there. All of my colleagues very friendly and helpfull. Excelent working envirinment! I love to be here! For lunch we went into a canteen shared with other companies in that tech district. Besides of several Indian food serving sections there is also McDonals and SubWay. I decided to try the Indian food. Very good choice!
Due to the long commuting time folks at Accenture decided that I should moved over to another appartment. I packed again all my stuff and the driver took me to the third appartment at this day. Arrived at 9:30 PM at my final destination. The appartment service optionally includes dinner. Due to my good experience at lunch I decided to try an Indian dinner meal and again was just blow away from the great Indian cooking style.
This concludes my day #1 in Bangalore.
