Busy first day

Thursday, October 13, 2011
Today was my birthday and the first day of a busy agenda, after 9 a driver took us to one of  City Montessory Schools to attend the last day of the Pre-primary Principals conference.
Again the traffic was shocking. It was the first opportunity we had to see the city  in the daylight. In India there are 1160 million inhabitants and Lucknow is one of the biggest cities as well as  Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi and Chennai.   
At the conference the phrase “Jai Jagat” (Victory be to the world) was permanently used. We were announced as special guests from Argentina, later we were interviewed by a local TV channel about our visit to India and our conference presentations.




That night at Tata Motors guest house, we had a birthday celebration with chocolate birthday cake, during the meeting I showed my hosts a PPT that my family had prepared for my birthday and they were delighted to see that some phrases were written in Hindi. That night Anaclara, my daughter, and Meena had a talk on Skype and she wrote a message for her, in Hindi, of course!
Mikko, another DAT partner, arrived from Finland later that night.
