Reached Kingston, Ontario, Canada on 29th April 2005 at 11:00 pm...... The journey was quite an uneventful one. The Paris airport was a very busy one. Bought a 500ml of water for a whopping 2 Euros :) Anyways the country sure is beautiful but man is it cold or what.... And the locals tell that its the warmer part of the year... I am already dreading winters. Even though everything inside the buildings is heated the transition from a comfortably warm temperature inside the rooms to a chilling weather outside is killing... What makes it worse is that there is no way one cover every part of the body, some part or the other is always exposed... Trying to get proper woollen collection in place but as its the spring time there arent many good sales happening and being a student who has enough liabilties to worry about I am not planning to spend lavishly :)

Bought a laptop today. Got a pretty decent deal. A sony vaio.... It is a sexy looky machine... brand new begging to be used :)

Tomorrow the course starts and they have already given us a good 10 hour schedule.... This is when there are no classes and just the introductions and orientations...

Anyways keep a look out for this place. I am planning to update this with a series on the miseries of a desi doing MBA in a cold country like Canada...

Hey Prerna!

MBA in Canada! Congrats. I might head for Atlanta in fall.

All the best to you. The travails of an international student doing an MBA would always interest me. :-D
