One week in Gurgaon already

Royal Endfield, the pride of India - it is here in Gurgaon, Anders L, if you want it ;-)

Pieces of glass on top of a wall. Better than barbed wire?
Suddenly it feels like we have been here for several weeks already. We have packed so much into this week! Sitting with a well deserved, post-workout, pre-shower and dinner G&T contemplating what the h-ll we have done ....!!!! .... feeling pretty good. I have met a lot of really nice, helpfull and interesting people this past week. Although one might think that sitting in the lobby of Maia's school for 3 days would be REALLY boring, it has been very interesting to observe how they work, how the children, staff and parents interact, and also have discussions with parents and staff about different philosophies concerning up-bringing, teaching, learning etc etc.
Today I met Suchitra, a young artist who's son is in nursery school at Kunskapsskolan. She was a virtual fountain of information about stuff for children to do, clinics for back ache (!), places to go and see, etc.
The school uniforms were handed out today. Maia proudly presents:
School uniform

PE (physical education) uniform with proper Adidas shoes



Last but not least the view of Gurgaon from the roof top of the hotel. On one side is the Kingdom of dreams - we thought we'd go tomorrow, but someone warned us that weekends a LOT of other people have the same idea usually.
The pool will open in a week they said 4 days ago (yeah, right ...) - summer has just started and pools are not heated here, so they usually close outdoor pools over the winter.



Kingdom of dreams just behind the park.
