My new life
It's been over two weeks since I came to Toulouse. Had a number of great experiences and a lot more weird ones. Thanks to sesame the project work here, I already have a reputation of a slaker, that too by French people (how funny is that)
I thought that the first few days would be so free that I can finish off the customary French riveira trip by then. Well people here had other plans. I m stuck here from 9 to 5 in the name of brain storming and idea generation. I will kill the next person who suggests creative brain storming ever again.
I really like the culture, the habits, actually I m in love with the place. Everyone is so laid back and indulge rather than just work, work and work.
But the most astonishing thing here is the laziness of people all around. I know I m presenting the most skewed view but that's my feeling. You work fixed hours a day and then viola eat drink and make merry and you still have time in the weekends to go to the country side.
But as usual like I have been expecting things have to go wrong. I mean it's me so they will most definitely be the worst possible situations. I m not talking to people and they are still haunting me half way across the world. I have a RFH. I have not had a decent conversation in I dunno how long, maybe a month ago.
I know I have become this pathetic person who does nothing else but crib well guilty by association (how ever brief) I can't seem to enjoy the brighter side of things.
Anyhoo it's not all that bad. I m enjoying my solitude. Shopping and walking around the city has become a daily habit. I don't mind even if I don't travel, I ll just stay here and enjoy the city.
