Early morning for Bollywood dancing-which was not done by gille, but another woman, and it was a much harder dance! I just managed to get it! Then quick shower and breakfast! Then on our colour coaches to the gateway of India for a group photo before heading to a very interesting talk at the Bombay stock exchange, BSE, and then visited the 18th floor where we got a lovely (if a little cloudy) view of Mumbai, we then got a talk about the company 'zone start-ups' which lasted a little longer than expected, came back to the hotel for lunch, and then a little bit of free time, so Molly, Louise and I wandered to a market (but never found it!) but because it was Ganesh's festival, there was loads of large Ganesh structures and bands and people throwing pink powder everywhere, so we followed a few, then we walked to the ocean again and found another Ganesh, we got pulled into dancing with the group and ended up leading the small procession for a while, sat down and had LOADS of photos taken with us by all these Indian men, felt like I was a celebrity lol! Back to the hotel for 4pm Hindi class -> The app is becoming really useful for Hindi words! ->So an hour of Hindi later, which would have been useful at the start of the UKIERE programme, and then a feedback session on the placements. I told nick about how rubbish mine was, and how the school would like to get involved, and he said hopefully they would be able to set up a meeting with Mr Lall in London after the event so that might be good! Had dinner after, and then was going to watch an Indian movie called lunchbox, but they delayed the start so much that it started getting late, so I went to bed about 915pm, because I have a 5am start tomorrow!
