I arrived late last night and the area around their small Airport was very happening. While landing I was amazed at how many lights I could see. I truly anticipated a fairly dark landing into a somewhat industrialized area. What I found "at least from the air" was much more like Sacramento with far stretching lights and activity on the streets. Once I landed however, the reality set in that this wasn't America.
Hyderabad looks like a worn-torn city rebuilding after major hostility. There are patches "small ones" of new money but most of the city is aging and the buildings & roads are falling apart. The poverty is immediately evident however; for the most part this doesn't show in the personality of my hosts or their culture.
Since I was whisked away by security last night and driven 45 minutes to the Novatel "French hotel chain" I wasn't able to get any photos. So far there isn't much to see. I'll take some snapshots of my accommodations this evening or tomorrow and upload them.
Perhaps, the most disappointing issues so far is the internet connection in the hotel. It's something I worried about before coming but knew I would have no control over. It's very slow and the connection speed varies from 300ms to 2000ms. I'm unable to make a connection into the bank network from here but I am working on that. I have been able do an audio/video session with Lisa and the kids but it's pretty choppy. But hey, at least I can see & hear them daily and at no cost!
Well, India starts there day in the office at 10:30 so I better get ready.
