Initially
I stayed with my Junior Officer Engineering at Airport Hilton Hotel but after
one week I had to move far away suburban area with my friend who forcibly took
me at his residence. He was Bank Manager BCCI downtown Paris since long. This
move of my friend cost me one surface train (1 hour travel), connected with an
underground, then with another underground trains (1 hour travels) and a bus
ride of 30 minutes to Orly airport at SFENA training place. It is worth
mentioning that I had to purchase a digital watch to catch my first surface
train at 06:22 which I missed first day due my analog watch habitual of
displaying approximate minutes. This expensive move made me understand
“Punctuality with accuracy of Time” first ever in my life The
lesson learned is “In every favor of our loved ones, there is Positivity &
Negativity both” |
