<p>The office is about a twenty minute cab ride from the <a href="http://www.deccanrendezvous.com/">Deccan Rendevous</a>, the hotel we are staying at.  The <a href='http://adampreston.com/2007/03/20/the-first-day/img_0136/' title='IT cubed'> office building</a>itself is pretty typical. That first morning we all enjoyed a nice <a href="http://adampreston.com/2007/03/20/the-first-day/img_0096/">breakfast</a> and made it in to the office around 9.  Its interesting because things get going here so much later, I mean <a href="http://adampreston.com/2007/03/20/the-first-day/picture-or-video-033/">people</a> just don&#8217;t get moving until 9:30 or 10.</p>
<p><strong>The Elevators</strong><br />
Whether you are going up or down, you can be guaranteed that the elevator will be full.  Like the rest of the landscape in Pune real estate is a premium.  People seem to be a lot more comfortable with being close.  Sholder to sholder we ride to the fifth floor.</p>
<p><strong>The Cafeteria</strong><br />
Lunch is also a pretty unique experience.  The cafeteria on the first floor. The first day I was there I had to go with the easiest thing to order which ended up being a premade sandwich.  After we sat down, I looked over and saw a man, a well dressed professional eating what looked to be a traditional Indian dish, rice with some type of curry,  with his bare hands.  I mean scooping up big globs of food and it into his mouth.  I also noticed that he was only using his right hand, which is another custom.  Luckily, I am right handed and discovered that I also eat with my right hand.  Fitting in here will be a snap.  You won&#8217;t see a knife anywhere is another thing I noticed.</p>
