Today I went for an interview at a posh restaurant called Bouquet Garnie. It was as posh as it sounds and I passed stage one of the interview (That seems to be a check you have all limbs attached and only one head). The second stage, of maybe as many as 9 interviews, should be next week (will keep you posted). That however was not the hard bit, here the hard bit is finding the place at all. The address was first floor Agnelo House near Mount Mary steps, Bandra Mu...

The new room has slightly pants air con but it has a big fridge, a remote for the TV and has a great view over the city.W decided to clean our own room too so arm...

Today was a frustrating day. The monsoon was in full swing and we were suited and booted for an interview. Our plan was to pop to Zenzi's restaurant to get Vincent a job then pop to a cash point to get money for our room and finally get an Indian sim card to call places for jobs. It couldn't have gone worse! The tuk tuk couldn't find Zenzi's and we had to stop and get directions several times, then when we finally got there it no longer opened for lunch, only din...
