I know I said I wouldn't blog today but I had to share this..
I know it's not a great picture so I've made it as big as I can.
From towels, the fella that does our room has made a vase and put flowers in it! Then he has made a pretty border.
I'm sure he does this in all rooms, but it's brings in to question tipping and what you leave. I hope he does this because he feels he's being treated fairly.
We've discussed this with so many people
Every time the room gets done we give this man 200 INR which is about a £2.00. Peanuts.
But, when you know that the average wage here at the hotel is £100.00 a month its not a bad number.
We watch these people with nails holding their shoes together and pins fastening their clothes.
We have a taxi driver Raja who would appear to be waiting outside for us. He is so lovely and when we come back from the hospital he jumps out of his car to help push me up the ramp. But, you feel so bad about him being there that we pay him well when we use him.
Lakhmi, I hope I've spelled it right? The no nonsense, take no prisoners auxiliary lady who pushed my wheelchair today back from the Hospital right to the hotel room, dragging people to help as we go. I'll have to get a picture of that I think. Is £2.00 too much for that? I don't think so.
It's a really difficult thing to gauge and I hope the amazing people easing us through this journey at this end feel that we've appreciated them and treated them well. I hope they don't forget me because they'll be special to us forever.
There'll be more medical tourists all the time as it seems Manipal is building quite a reputation worldwide and it deserves it!
So I have a time for being admitted for the jugular tappng and it's 5pm here, 1230pm your end.
I'll try and get a FB message out to let you know how it went.
Catch up Friday when hopefully all my little stem cells will be tucked up in the freezer!
