meeting people

my first night here, i made the fortunate mistake of entering the dining hall wearing only a pair of shorts, shoes, and a collared shirt. shocked, a server briskly walked up to me and, smiling and waggling his head, informed me that i had to go, immediately. when i got back with proper khakis on and was served dinner from the buffet, i turned to see an entire table of indian hospital management students waving for me to sit down. thus continued my experience with indian hospitality and immediate friendship. since then, i've played soccer, gone swimming, and chatted for hours with those guys and girls. they, the students here at the campus i'm living in, are all students earning Post-Graduate Degrees in Hospital Management.
