INDIA TRIP 3月17日

In these three days, I go to Japanese, Chinese and Italian restaurant for dinner because Miyaji-san doesn't want any spicy food. We go to the restaurants in five star hotels and could enjoy dinner about $20. It is good opportunity in developing countries. If in advanced country, we cannot afford. Especially today's Italian, Indian old gentleman was playing the piano and atmosphere is perfect expect the partner is Miyaji-san. Miyaji-san recovered but he remains nervous about Indian food and commercial habit.

By the way, yesterday. I had the shocking event. We are told in U.S. that all the hotels we stay in India are five stars. Actually, Intercontinental in India was good,although the hotel of Bangalore is 3 or 4 stars compared to international standard.
When we check in Tulip hotel in Mumbai, the appearance and lobby was not so bad. But when we went up to the room, I found American guy are wondering among rooms. Then, we gathered in the lobby 30 minutes later to go to Reserve bank of India, most of them rejected to go because the accomodation of the hotel is totally unsatisfactory. They required to change the hotel otherwise they don't go out. I and Miyaji-san thought the facility of the room like 3 star hotels but never thought of changing the hotel. The faculty,Dr Konana, wondered and told that all the effort I have done up to now will be nothing with this event just because people tend to judge trip by the impression of the last three days of the trip. Then, TA promised to reconsider the hotel and most of us left for the meeting with the bank.( We met the No.2 of Central bank of India and was so interesting!) After the meeting, we found that our hotel has changed to Intercontinental with additional $50 each night. (Maybe the cost will be paid by yobihi). The hotel was quite new and this is my first experience to stay in the hotel with wood flooring and separate bath and shower room.
If we were not Americans and were Japanese, we would have claimed but not so strong enough to change the hotel once after we check in and enter into the room. I now understand that why Japanese are regarded to be easy to be deceived by Indian or other overseas. we need to negotiate with the attitude like Americans when we are insatisfactory. However, actually. it is very difficult considering our mentality.(
