Last night was the first bad night sleep that I have had; although that first night in Delhi I was quite jet legged. Last night the teachers had a potluck and a few brought dishes especially for me to try--so I do. This was a bad idea in retrospective as since dinner my stomach has been bothering me. If that was not bad enough a few houses away there was a wedding with a loud speaker system blaring music until nearly 4am. Still, one bad night in 12 days seems fair. Anyways onto the day...
...Our first stop today was once again Hamid's warehouse. He had received 20 floral patterned carpets and wanted me to take a quick look which in India seems to mean spend an hour trying to explain a few simple directions to his staff. I did end up picking a few of the carpets.
The next stop was U.N. Carpets again, not a lot was accomplished there as the sizes were still incomplete meaning I must return in a week to see the finished products.
Then it was onto U.N.'s Nain supplier. I walked out of my first company there. They mislead me about their product and would not listen at all to what I was saying or looking for so I threw my hands up and said "this is a waste of time, your not listening to me" and headed back to the car. I immediately felt bad as my lack of sleep and upset stomach had tested my patience and the supplier brought me past my breaking point. Back in the car I apologized to Hamid however he seemed supportive as they had mislead us and were wasting our time so we head off. I ended up visiting another four suppliers over the remainder of the day before our hour and a half car ride back.
I get back to Hamid's, write my daily report and head to bed in hopes of catching up on sleep although the big band playing a cross the way has a different plan for me.
