I learned on this trip that I had a lot of previous misconceptions about Indian food. If India Palace in Lawrence is your idea of Indian food, then you are severely mistaken. I stepped outside my comfort zone and learned that I love the spicy, exotic flavors of India! My advice to future students - go to India with an open mind. Not all Indian food is extremely spicy, and the chefs at ASB cater to our adolescent American pallets. Don't be scared to try the food with the name you can't pronounce, you might be pleasantly surprised!

My favorite part of this program was getting the chance to see the view of Indian business management and professors, and how it varied with the views within the US.

The opportunity to have site visits at big companies like Walmart and Colgate Palmolive underscored the need to understand the culture of a market in order to use best business practices. For example at Colgate they explained why they market smaller tubes of toothpaste in India and include brushes with the paste.

Even though this might seem entirely cliche, my favorite part of the program was riding an elephant on the last day in Trivandrum at the Asian School of Business. You can't go to India and NOT ride an elephant! The elephant was beautiful and gigantic (nearly 8 or 9 feet tall, I'd say), and adorned with a decorated face plate. We fed it entire bunches of bananas and took about 1000 pictures.

The time we spent at GIM with their faculty and students was invaluable as well as our ability to spend a lot of time at the Taj Mahal
