Tour day

We started our morning with nice breakfast. Toast and some omelettes, some spicy crepes and coffee. Then we were off to tour all the workplaces we will be spending our educational work period. We started off with meeting with our contact in Jeet Travel office, the place where I will be staying alongside with two students. We didn't have much time there when we were already rushed to next location, Pingalwara hospital.

Pingalwara main office, founder Bhagat Puran Singh ji. 

The hospital is run with charity work and it's part of the sikh religion to do service in form of charity too. The founder started with no money on his pockets just to serve those with even less fortune than him. Most of our student will work in hospital, but not in this building bu we'll get to that later.

Entrance of  College.

Our next stop was Amritsar's College of Engineering and Technology that came with bit of suprise to us. The school wanted to form relationships with ours so we visited them so teachers could do bit of planning ahead. Meanwhile us students enjoyed the feeling of being celebrity at the schools hall.

The room was filled with cheers and shout of the students and we gladly took photos of our admirers and vice versa.

Next stop was in the hospital where most of our students will be send, Manawala. The students and teachers were having outdoor meeting and as always, we basked in the light of fame as they made the contracts.

Finnish students and Indian children.

The last stop was the large shopping center called Alpha One where our students will go to work at supermarket Hyper City. We had food there and I dared to taste some basic chicken curry. Lots of spices and flavor. Also we had bit of time to circle around the center and I made some plans for future purchases.

Returning to hotel, we decided to go seek for market to buy us more water and snacks. We started walking at the direction the hotel reception guided us but ended up having adventure dodging all the Indian traffic and checking little stores on the way. After returning to hotel, we had meal and I ordered some Chicken Tikka Masala that was basically marinaded chicken bits. Really good, just the right amount of spices.

Well that was our adventurous day, now I'm off to bed to rest my tired feet. See you!
