Tulane Update

After Dodging Hurricane Ida, The 29 strong Tulane team reached the beautiful city of New Orleans. Days in the first week have been eventful and fun. Initially drowsy bcoz of jet lag, folks were hibernating in a daily cycle. Eating lots to survive in a 12 hr sleep cycle. Lovely and sumptuous breakfast served @staybridge suite in the morning did the needful...

GMPians learned to greet good morning to each other in the american way. Eating loads of food and rushing every morning to catch the 7:30 Bus is the way we jumpstart the day.

The Classes go on from 8 at Freeman school of Business @ Tulane. Prof Wilson talks about competitive strategy and also gives us gyan about New Orleans.

Some days are reserved for a project @ Idea Village where four teams work with budding entrepreneurs and stanford graduates to turn brilliant ideas into reality.

We return around 5 in the evening to the hotel in Downtown....
A comfortable suite, two guys per room, spacious room, nice kitchen... but who wants to cook when the food is so good from salads to Gators..

With a Harrah's casino accross the street the evening are fun. We have great Gamblers losing money and young guns rakin in the moolah. One guy made $125 in just one hour.

As the moon shines, junta heads towards Bourbon street. It is the most happening place @ NOLA (New orleans Lousiana). The street has a mix of all that really matters in life... Good food, good Jazz music and good advertisements or teasers of something more.

Overall it's been amazing, the guys work hard by the day, slog in the projects and party harder in the night...
