My story:
My class will be started tomorrow because all participants have to wait for 2 Iraquees that got a oversized-luggage problem at the airport. The food is nice so far…, and indians seem nice and helpful. I have the one named, Bibe, treating me with food, detergent, phone sim card, GPRS..and so on. So, my life is probable convenient and comfortable here.

First Time@India
At time around 5:30AM, we, I and my family, left the home to Suvarnabhumi Airport. We picked up Pat at Wat-Son ’cause he could not drive from the pain of his eye. Also we expected to see P’Sa & P’Tana there too. Once we reached it, I and Pat carried my 2 luggages and 1 carry-on bag to the check-in counter of Jet Airways at the enter gate no. 7 ( i liked this no. so much …it might have something related to me…we’ll see) There i took about 15 minutes to take a line to get into the counter (…Thanks god i came early … 3 hours before departure time) . The check-in lady who allow 2 of the luggage weighted about 30 kilograms was so nice, and she also choose my seat at the window (everybody can see from pictures).
Before the departure time around 1 hour, we have time together at the King’s Power drink & restaurant. Then i went through the gate G-1 and wait there. Now, it’s time to read the book i borrowed from friend, Yun. The book described where buddhist goes in India and after all i took some photoes.
On plane, i had the nice meal that is the egg and chicken sausage. After done , i kept some juice, yogurt, and spices in the plastic bag in case i could not find something to eat before reaching the campus (IIPM@Kansbahal near Rourkela) that is the long way to go. And 2 Indian guys who sat nearby me tried to gave me the direction to go there. That’s really awesome.
After taking my luggages, i found Mathew who came to pick me up there. At that time , he need to wait for another participant, Mustafa (Sudanian), so i took my time with the book again.
Then we have to take a train to Rourkela that the departure time is 11:45PM. So, we need to take our time somewhere in Kolkata, West Bangal. Mathew brought us to one mansion that is belonged to IIPM i guessed. I just took a rest there, anyway i could not eat enough for i am not familiar with the Indian meal at that time. So i had my yogurt and juice instead.
At 6PM, Mathew came back to pick us up again. However, Mustafa merely could eat meal at 6PM since he had to do fasting the Muslim activity. I can say that it is just the conflict in timing and language understanding. Finally, we all left around 7PM to get the taxi to Howrah Station that took about 1 hour and costed 4xx Rs. At that station, i could not believe that there are crowded of Indians that is both sat and slept on the floor. When compared with Hue Lampong in Thailand, there are 3 times less of crowded people here. Some indians either guys or girls carried the heavy belongings on their head (that is what i red from the Yun’s book too). Mathew gave me the second or third class that is i dont know at the time. Unfortunately, i had not get the blanket , the pillow, and could not use the restroom because it was so smelly. I just tried to sleep on that cool weather on the train for 8 hours. And i got sick for more than 3 days until now (10-14-2007) It is more terrible than the life on train that is i had to carry all my luggages (3 bags) on my back and i also had to lift it when i took the stairs overthere. My back and hand was painful. Anyway , it was lucky that Mustafa helped me out at that time. :] Thanks to IIPM driver who picked us up from there, i felt better in his van. The time i reached campus is about 5:30AM on 10-08-2007 (Monday).
