I Have Chicken Pox. When Can I Go Back To Work?

family visit visa problems, Austria vacation and back to India

In the last time I wrote anything because it was so turbelnt, more action would be not really been possible.
As mentioned earlier I visited Dad, Doris and Christoph 1 February. They stayed 4 days with me in Visakhapatnam and I showed them shelter, school, Sabbavaram, the markets, life, people, etc. Was very interesting to learn their impressions, as for me most is very common. After this time together we spent a week in Delhi, where we saw the Taj Mahal and other sights DIVERSE. Life there is some much modern than here in Vizag, so it was for me very interesting to see the differences. But I was glad to be able to go back again after a week in my project and provided the children again.
A week later we got one for us not so good news. But first the background: We learned about mid-January that in India, the visa conditions were changed and we must therefore leave from mid-February for 2 months out of India. We tried another scheme to create but on 19 February was clear then that we had to fly back to Austria. We had three days to say goodbye to us all, and on 22 Betty and I flew in February homecoming together.
The atmosphere was just not going very well, because our plans and ideas had to be changed. Somehow, I speak very excited about the "culture shock" by all, because if I thought so to Austria, I could not really imagine that I will cover this.
But when I move there was, it was sometimes really a weird feeling, kind of hard to put into words. Only then I realized then how different life in the two countries. Especially difficult was But, as in Austria now was winter and the weather, but also the mood of the people of that time are not in top form. But it was wonderful to see how long I have received from family and friends with open arms. They helped me to feel myself again and probably spend some nice hours.
Thanks for that, it certainly was not easy with me !!!!!
With good luck we made it but after 3 weeks to get a visa again and started on 19 March again on the way to India. The parting was not as difficult as I first knew what to expect in India and 2 I looked through my stay in Austria, that I was also there again in six months my nest and I will find my former surroundings.

When we had arrived on Saturday in India, the very great pleasure. Our cook brought us a taxi from the airport (she was the first time in an airport and wished it was a long time to see). The first few minutes of driving, I needed something to get me back to the traffic and get used to the environment. It was nice to enter our room and again So that's to be found, as it was 3 weeks ago. We rested briefly, and then went immediately to the Shelter for the boys to be welcomed. The reunion was great and the usual familiarity right back. Of course I was also in the afternoon to play with full enthusiasm in soccer there. The only difficulty is that We, the slow rise in temperature Stueckweit have missed, as we cooled down in between in Austria, so the approximately 32 - 35 degrees currently stand still as difficult, but it is already.
Today was already the first day of school and everyday life is as usual, as if there had never been an outage.
I'm glad to be able to be here again to continue my work, but now I see more and more postive side of the short Austria holiday. This is my lot here and I again realized in part with a different settings approach to things.

Thanks again to my family and my friends for their support for me in the not quite so simple 3 weeks. It's nice to have the certainty that I can come back any time and be collected.
I send you some sunshine for India!
very happy Martina
