How lucky can one be ? At the time of wrting, we have just returned from a lazy Sunday by the poolside....First lazy day to have made it to our somewhat busy schedule, I might add : )
We've been in Serendip since late Monday, and has practically been on our feet ever since. Already we have learned a lot, and both the breadth and depth of our understanding has increased tremeandously. We've been interviewing some very interesting and different people from the industry, and there's no doubt that what we'll bring back home, will be of great value to our thesis.
But, formalities and academia aside.... We have been busy doing other things (eating lamprais, which might not look all that tasty, but REALLY is, is one of them)
I really hadn't spent much time pondering on my return to Lanka, but how wonderful it has been. Time really is an odd size - on the one hand, it seems to a long time since I had my daily life, but on the other it's like I never really left. So, as you can imagine the return was a great one : ) All the people and places have been greatly missed, and we're trying our best to make time for it all. Of course, this stay is just a little less than a month as well as jammed packed with obligations, but we're making the most of it.
The coming week will be an exciting one. We're starting a four day tour of MAS production facilities, and judging from our itinerary, we'll have to prick up our ears !!! We really are super excited to see for ourselves, listen and learn from the people involved with running a 45,000+ apparel producing company !
Anyhow, just a short up-date from the heat (yes, 30+ inspite of a now overcast sky!) Hope all is as well in DK, as it is here in the heart of Colombo.
Oh yeah, before I forget.... We won't be doing any shopping this time around. All we want to bring back home, is the outrageously adorable little man on one of the pictures !!!!
His name is Ethan, and sadly, he already has a very sweet mother. Her name is Nirmala, she works for Michelle and she brings around this lettle fellow every day to work ! He jst gor himself to very odd-looking white aunties, that's for sure : )
