The Internet was down last night... welcome to India

As we are coming accustom to things not working 100% all the time and yesterday was a day full of this. We arrived to work early and sweaty after the hour and 15 minute taxi ride. And spent most of the day waiting for the IT department to get the Internet up and running. While waiting we were called into Sunils office (he is the one to the two sons of the founder of the company). And had an interesting conversation with him about Maxwell and how the company is vertically integrated and was almost a monopoly until a few years ago. When India saw many changes occurring in the market, one main factor being the end of the restrictions against the size of the factories. (Meaning now they are able to have large factories that can effectively do every stage of production, equally low costs I would imagine). Sunil is an extremely nice man and I fell that he maybe some what of a celebrate here).
After lunch the man that we are reporting to was not as friendly as one could be and was questioning why we came in at 10 am not at 9 am and were we were ... and we were with the big boss... this was frustrating because we has already made an agreement with the HR guy Mr. Munther... (not sure on the spelling) that we would work from 10 am to 5 pm. The communication here must be a little off.
But then we agreed on 9 30 am because we are travelling with Chris and Nathan that start at the time, so hopefully that is organized now.
Then we discussed Maxwell and the 4 main brands that they are involved with. (Frenchie, Frenchie X, VIP underwear, VIP feeling).
When we final had the Internet up and running the main guy we are reporting to say "well because you didn't do much today you can stay till 6:30pm" I didn't even thing and "no" just came out of my mouth and then I explained that we were finished for the day.
So the first few days were not all the great. I feel like I am a burden and they don't have time and they expect more that we can give. But hopefully tomorrow (or today) will be a better day!
