All by my self

My first day to myself since I arrived in India. I did not go on the tour; I slept in, worked out, worked on email and read a chapter for the quiz. It was very peaceful day that I needed after a busy two weeks.

For dinner that night we (Harvey, Karl, Mary, and Jenny & Omni) went to the “Olive Garden”. The food was great we had chicken wings, chicken loll pops, fish, pasta, chicken, ice cream, spring rolls and cheese and garlic filled nana bread. It was awesome. I am positive that Harvey and I will get malaria from all of the mosquitoes that ate us alive because we wore shorts.



In talking with my buddy, the topic came up about Wal-Mart vs. Fab City the local shop with the same philosophy of inexpensive products. He said that Wal mart was having a hard time coming to India because they want large stores and land is too expensive, where Fab City will go into the smallest location. What a difference in marketing.

A little more in-depth analysis of this difference in corporate philosophies and local market conditions would have been interesting.
