Anyway the Wind Blows.......

I don't care what people might say. Living with word "any way the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me..." I am leaving for somewhere being bored from the life now. I need few things to live; music, traveling, and you.

I Got the VISA

I got tourist ViSA to enter India! This is the second time to have VISA of India. First one is student VISA required to live in India as a foreign student, second one is the tourist visa that i got today...for what??

This is for what......I was to obtain the Business Visa at the beginning. But it didn't succeed. Because i needed to get a formal invitation card and a contact. But the oragnization which i would work for put off the date of issue. It takes about a week to get a business visa. I had to give up to enter India with a business visa.

Well...I visited embassy of India yesterday taking almost 2 hrs in the early morning. But something unexpected was happened. The embassy was closed without any notices. I had checked the information in details on website and from the books. There was just a paper said " closed" written by the marker. Why?? Some Indian guys laughed at me... I'm really disgusted and said back them something bad word in Hindhi! (not sure it was suitable words)

And today. I visited embassy again avoinding crowded commuter train. Shit.... There were over 100 people in the embassy asking for visa!! I sighed and waited. After application of visa in the morning , people have to wait to receive visa till 5 o'clock in the evening.

I killed the time with my friends in Shinjuku and got back to embassy. I got the tourist VISA as last!!!

It was long way to make it.

I'm about to leave!!

Hi,there....how have you been??
I'm about to leave Japan....I
didn't expect that I took so much time to reach the consensus with the organization. I learnt it is not easy to communicate with Indian people on business. I like them personally, but it is different from business world. They sometimes put off the answer, ignore me, or make a sudden change of their mind at a final stage of the negotiation.

I was totally exhausted about lack of efficiency. But it is the actual situation of the international business world. I have expected them to take the attitude as a member of international society. Is there such a society? NO. We have own culture, way of thinking, or lives... We should not expect the same way as we do. So... we need to learn the diplomatic skills to get along with them and have fun.

I'm gonna purchase the ticket from now. I'm on the edge...there's no time to ponder. I'm not sure I can be good to people and on my work.

I will be in charge of following activities...
         
                           ※※※

This is where you would be involved in the organisation. At he moment we are working on starting a “Learners Co-operative”. There will be a panel of persons who have a skill or learning to teach and a list of people who want to learn something. We will facilitate their meeting and help to start the classes. The whole idea is based on the co-operative being able to attract many learners so that the cost per learner is kept down.

This means that we have to do everything we can to inform as many people as possible of the formation of the cooperative and sell the idea to lots of people. We are planning a one-day ‘learning festival’ at the end of March, 2006.

Uhmmm....too obscure to understand what I would do. OK, think about it later,later.
I forgot to say, I will be back to Japan with perfect Hindhi!
