I am currently in Bangalore, India. The temperature here is 21 degree Celsius. It is cold and windy. It is winter here.
The time is 3-hours different from Malaysia (Malaysia is faster).
Day 1 & 2
Arrived at Bangalore about 1am Malaysian time (4am India time).
Passing the customs were the best part in India airport. It is all about the money.
While waiting for your luggage’s to arrive, you will see some guys in the brownish uniform waiting there.
These guys were supposed to help the customs to pick up your luggage’s if it was mark ‘X’ on it. By the way, the custom officers are wearing white uniform.
If your luggage is mark with ‘X’, then you will surely have to go through custom x-ray inspections.
The custom officer will ask you to open up your luggage and they will ask all sort of questions.
If you answer correctly, they will asked you to close your luggage and go. Then out of no where, you will see the guy in brown uniform which took your luggage to the custom officer appeared.
He will helped you to close up your luggage and assist you out from the airport. After assisting you out from the airport, they will ask for tips.
If the items that you brought have to pay taxes, the custom officers will tell you that it needs to pay taxes and ask you to come back tomorrow to declare your items.
This is where you need to make your offer by asking “How much?”. If you need your items urgently.
As usual Pradip, our company driver was there waiting for me to take me to the hotel.
I am staying in a hotel called “Bangalore International Hotel”.
Previously when It was here, I was staying at 37Th Crescent hotel which it is better.
I am here for a business trip. Waiting for my colleague to send me the work site.
Just found out that the talks between Proton & VW failed.
Day 3.
Third day in India, the item should be in have not yet arrived. didn’t do much. Mr. S asked me to come over after lunch due to check if the items came in or not.
Last night was watching con-air on TV. This morning woke up at 9am, India time. Went for breakfast. After finished breakfast, wanted to go back to the room but the the elevator was out.
It has been second times out since yesterday, the failure rate is like 1 time per day. Hopefully I won’t get stuck in the elevator!!!
Too lazy to walk up to the 4Th floor again. This time I went snooping around the barber shop. Out of curiosity how does an India barber cut hair in India.
I went in to the barber shop and asked them what do they have here beside cutting hair.
Lastly, I decided to go for facial, manicure & hair wash.
After 1 1/2 hours, the time were just right to go the office.
I went to the office and found out that the items were not in yet.
My next flight back to Malaysia supposed to be on the 26th November but due to the items delay, I have to stay here until 4th December.
