A day in High point

busy day in high point. first we went to hight point museum. not much of a history. artefacts are not more than 100 years. coming from india, our museums are expected to store atleast artefacts which are more than 300 years old to may be 1500 years.

but the next stop - hight point university was better in terms of grandeur and facilities. clicking pictures with madam curie and aristotle was like being in madam tussauds. the student centre is more of a premier sports centre than a recreational stop for students. it appeared to be in a big promotional drive and with 1 crore expenditure for a 4 years course that may be a deal for many from the asian countries.

lunch was with the furnitureland rotary club. and then we toured the highlight of this city. the furniture bazaar or the trade pavilion of furniture where every year twice in april and october around 10 million buyers and sellers meet to trade in furnitures. impressive facilities and there were many indian carpets and cane products in display.
then we went to the police dept of high point and the focus was to see the dog section or the k-9 as they call it. discovering police dept in this country was the single biggest relevation. the government offices in this country appears to be as organised and managed as you expect in a corporate house. they appear to be flush in funds as all services comes very dear.

tonight the team has a joint dinner in a steakhouse along with host families. so the day will end pretty late.
