I don't believe that I've posted about this ... sorry ... but, at the hotel here it's like a mini-United Nations. There are others from the US here (in fact, there's a person from Texas who is also working with the Pune team ... for a different firm and for a different reason).
There's a rather large UK contingent ... and BOY! can they get loud at dinner whenever a soccer football match is on the television (which is augmented considerably with several bottles of wine flowing at their table ... the loudness, that is). And tonight was the loudest and most boisterous of all ... tonight on ESPN was a match between Liverpool and Manchester City. I was told by one of the guys here that this is a bitter rivalry. (I noticed that the fans in the stands take to throwing all sorts of objects at the players on the field).
There are two gents from Croatia ... no, they do not watch ER and have not heard of Dr. Kovacs.
Germany is represented, as well as France (in the person of an older guy who has taken to sitting in a booth in the lounge with his laptop).
And a delegation from Japan is here as well.
Interesting note ... nearly all of these travellers are men.
I have only indulged in the small talk of "where are you from," "what are you doing here," "how long will you be staying," and "do you like it here?" Beyond that it has been mostly hellos and goodbyes as we pass each other in the hallway or entrance to the hotel.
