Hallo, everyone. My summer Internship started at the Indira Gandhi Airport Terminal 3, New Delhi at 02.45 am on May 23, 2015. My flight to Munich, Germany was at 04.30 am and I was running inside the Airport, transferring my luggage to my parents because I had exceeded 10 kg (equivalent to Rs. 20,000). The checking counters were going to close at 03.15 am, so I had 30 min to remove some of my extra luggage.

Trouble! I then used my India’s Vodafone number, (approximately Rs. 300 in balance) to call some students, who were also doing an Internship in Munich and came before me, to check where they were because I was shifting with them and surprisingly, I came to know that they had already left to Prague, Czech. They knew I was coming and I had told them to stay for the weekend, but they still went. Speak quite high about their intellect. So, I called up an Indian married guy, whom I had contacted from India and had asked if I could stay with him and his family for few days. Fortunately, he was at home and agreed to pick me up from his bahnof (metro station). So, with a broken handbag and 2 trolley bags I started my first journey in
