Moro a 1 quadra do trabalho, então é muito tranquilo ir e voltar. Só que não tem calçada, ando ou no cantinho da avenida ou no meio da poeira das construções. Gurgaon é literalmente um campo de construção gigante. Todos os lados tem prédios enormes sendo erguidos.

Belveder Park B71 – DLF City Phase III, Gurgaon, Haryana. This is my address during January. In the beginning of February I’ll move to Bangalore, south India.
During this time I’m staying on Alcatel-Lucent’s guest house, living as a king. Belvedere Park is a quite big condominium. There are many buildings and a common area with: swimming pool, gym, party room, game’s room and a small shop that has everything (fruits and vegetables, cosmetics, food, non-alcoholic beverages…).
There are 2 lifts; always an adventure. The city runs out of power several times during the day (like 10 times a day). It didn’t take long for having a blackout when I was in the lift. Some seconds later it came back to function.
The guest house is maintain by the company. It has 2 “house servants” who share the work shift and take care of everything. Sometimes they care too much and think weird when I just don’t want anything. There is a TV room with cable TV and good comfortable sofas. Right behind there is a dinner table.
I’m staying in a very comfortable bedroom with my own bathroom. There is a double bed, closet, AC, heat… Is not too big and not too small; just the ideal. The bathroom has also the right size and is cleaned everyday.
The bath is always fun. Gas heating and a bucket! Is has a shower but I’m taking bath is the bucket. The shower was not working and I took a bucket shower in the first day. Then I realized that I can save water and time this way, so bucket it is!
As I’m in the 7th floor I could have a nice view, but thanks to the pollution and dust I can only see the building at the other side of the avenue. The avenue is madness: horns 24/7, mainly during rush hours. That’s because in India they don’t use mirrors. So is by horning that they can communicate “I’m here!” or “I’m passing by” (it depends on the intensity of the horn).
The trucks and buses have written in the back bumper “Please Horn”. The cars that have external mirror always kept them folded to reduce the chance of crashing it. ALL the cars are crushed; ALL of them.
I live only one block away from work so is very easy to go and get back. The thing is that there’s no sidewalk so I walk besides the avenue or in the middle of the construction dust. Gurgaon is literally a giant construction site. Everywhere there are enormous buildings being built.
I’m enjoying my time here. I’m sure I’ll miss all this comfort when I move to Bangalore, where I should live with other foreigners and share domestic duties.
