Hi Che Che!
So here I am in Chennai, India! (Bet you like the way it has your name in it!)
I landed a few days ago and was very jet lagged and tired after such a long flight (or I should say flights) - The entire journey took me nearly 24 hours!
So anyway, Chennai is a big city in the South of India in the state of Tamil Nadu.
(Actually its in a right state too but I will tell you about that shortly)
It used to be called Madras, in fact sometimes they still call it that. Madras is one of my favourite types of curry by the way but that's not why I came here.
Instead I am going to be teaching design at the Raffles Millennium Institute, which as its name would suggest is a very prestigious and world renowned educational establishment, at least that's what it says on their website.
My boss is called Pranav Desai, and he was at the airport to meet me.
His first words to me were; "You look completely different in real life."
I wasn't sure how to respond to that.
The scouser in me wanted to say something like;
"I flew 5000 miles for a job not a date" but instead I just nodded politely and said
"Yes I have had a bit of a haircut!" (Remember Che, you did it for me in France, and it was actually quite a lot of a haircut.)
Then I said "You look exactly the same!' (because he does!)
Here's a picture of him (as copy/pasted from my Skype contacts):
