3 Down 1 to go

Bonjour,

Need to get my French back up to par even though everyone here does speak English too (fishuuu sigh of relief).

I forgot too mention yesterday on the way back from Pia's place we went to a tile shop to look for tiles for her new place and i saw the funniest thing ever. They had a normal cream toilet and sink set but designed with gold print trimmings and a choice of blue or green floral designs, like serious 1980's style reminded me of those old tissue box covers all our moms and cousins used to have in the house and the special ones would also put them in the back shelf of their cars. Lol then again i know they are still around but its funny to think this kind of thing is still seen as fashion im sure its our typical Asian lot. So yeah if anyone wants me to pick any up when i come back to England let me know before hand ;), ill try and take some pictures next time i go there.


As im sure you all remember my old Hong Kong emails would rant on about the locals well i thought its about time to start round two but mu style. So first weird thing i have seen so far is people randomly walking on the motorway there was actually one guy who stopped in the middle of his lane just to pick up his mobile and have a conversation before driving on.


So yes as for today's interview which was probably the most important one that i have planned to go to ended up much better than i expected. I should hear back soon enough from them and will keep everyone informed but i don't want to get to hyped up till all is set in stone :)

Day 3 or 4 not sure which its all a blur to me now

Hey All

Todays bog entry is abit random so jus keep with me i think the jet lag is seriously kicking in so we will put it down to that. Well i had an early start today for my interview which was more like a meeting anyway yea this one was interesting but will most likely be a second job either part time or freelance as it is currently a one man band. I also have another interview booked now for tomorrow so that will be number 3, this one is the big one though so fingers crossed. Also i forgo to tell you guys about the funny stuff the guy was saying to me in my first interview. Ok so i walk into his office shake his hand and sit down and then he busts out with "so imran.... present yourself to me" and im like erm excuse me and thinking what am i suppossed to stand up and do a little strip tease for him (visions of full monty) calm down ladies nothing happened ;).

Anyway to more interesting things before i loose every ones attention before i forget they have those little baby yellow lizards here like back in paki land (sorry buks i know u don't like it) also OMG they got these big ass snails here i will have to try and find one and take a big bloody gruesome.

So today has been very tiring even though i have done almost nothing (oh i feel the envy) just had my interview and then i went to Pia and Damians house (the cousons im staying with). I have added pictures of their house which is still being built well what they claim to be their house personally im sure you will all agree with me that it is more of a hotel than a house. Its still being built but man are they going to have an awesome pad once its done i have told them to adopt me so i can live it too (sorry as but man you would do the same lol).

Mauritius

Hey Guys

Yes your eyes are not fooling you and my travel diaries have returned once again for the enjoyment of the mass (well the 10 or so people i have added at least, so consider all yourselves to be specials buggers).

Just a quick heads up to those who are not up to date (see buks and abs u should at least be glad i told you even if it was last minute). I have once again done a runner from her Majesty's United Kingdom in search of work in Mauritius :), hence the return of the diary although this time thanks to a certain friend (you know who you are) i have chosen to go the way of the blog in the hope to try and make this diary more open and interesting for all.

Anyway enough of my gibberish and back to the important stuff. Ok so i arrived here on Saturday and have up until now more or less just chilled apart from my first planned interview which took place this morning anyway more details on that in abit, have to rub it in first about how beautiful mu (Mauritius) is know you suckers are back home :) lol don't worry i wont be that mean but I will say it is lovely here and I'm having a great time so far.

As for the interview it was for a advertising company and I think it went really well so lets see what happens none the less i still have more interviews planned for this week so fingers crossed.

Well guys I'm going to keep this first one short so you guys can take in all the info plus i am knackered and cant think of any more things to write so I'm sure when you all respond the questions will be flowing in :).

luv

Im
