India Training Trip: Day 2

I managed to sleep last night! Yay!!. Still feel a little bit shattered but im starting to get over the jet lag at least.

Training went well this morning and we managed to complete the remaining modules of the course 2272 (For exam 70-270 – Implementing and Supporting Microsoft Windows XP Professional) and was given the opportunity to try a practice exam which I’m glad to say that I passed. My exam has been booked for tomorrow so I will be cramming as much as possible tonight so i can do my best tomorrow morning.

With any luck by the time i can post tomorrow i should officially be an MCP (Microsoft Certified Professional).

This afternoon we started on the second course 2274 (For exam 70-290 – Managing a Windows 2003 Server Environment) which is going well and we are actually ahead of time so I am using the spare time before the taxi back to the apartment to read up as much as i can of the book before we go through it in class.

Going to try and have a walk around once I am back at the apartment to see whats arround shops and things etc so there may be some photos attached to the post later.

Update: Went out this evning after training for a look around, from what i can gather the area im in is called west patel nagar, its kind of a maze with hundreds of people walking about and even more scooters, cars and taxi bikes.

There were quite a few clothes shops mainly shops selling Sarees and such like, there were one or two names that looked fairly western but the rest were food stalls (which im told as a tourist is best to avoid as the food can make you ill) and shops selling cheap watches or phones etc. one thing that was apparent though is that i stuck out like a sore thumb with everyone looking at me in my bright “western” clothes.

I took a few pictures whilst i was out, and have attached at the bottom of this post.

    Sounds like you are working hard ! Is it humid outside or just a dry heat ? What is the food like ? P

    Very humid, you feel very thankful for the air conditioning which everyone seems to have. Food is ok, the apartment they put you up in supplies breakfast and dinner and they buy lunch for you whilst at the training center. Dinner has mostly been curries which are ok but would be nice to have something different. Oh well only 14 days to go…
