From Chai to Vietnamese Coffee

Julie & I met while on exchange at the Indian School of Business in Hyderabad. Julie has a great laugh & joyful spirit. We were neighbors in the H block at ISB and share a love for cutting things up on the dance floor, stuffing ourselves silly with biryani, and slurping down chais made by roadside baristas. Here we are doing just that in Chandigarh. Yum. (Note the child barista in the background.) Coincidentally, both Julie & I will be working at L.E.K. Consulting in different cities in the States. When we discovered that our start dates for work were moved to December, the seeds for this recent adventure were planted. Julie said, "hey, want to go work with pig farmers in Vietnam with me?" and I mean, of course, who wouldn't just jump at an opportunity like that...So I guess we'll be trading biryani for noodle soup & chai for Vietnamese coffee.
