Day 1 - The Jet Lag Evasion

When you travel from North America all the way to Asia the term "jet lag" inevitably crops up. I'm sure all of us who've traveled such long distances have our own techniques (hell we're MBA students, we use the term 'strategy') to deal with jet lags. My personal way to handle jet lags is to switch over to the time zone of my final destination as soon as I get my first boarding card issued. I'm just one trans atlantic flight old but this strategy worked well in the past so I thought I'd try this again. Turns out this doesn't work well when you're travelling in groups! IT'S SOOO MUCH MORE FUN! Who's gonna sleep at 13:40 Victoria time (2:10 am in India when you're with a group of fun MBA's!)

Now we've reached Bangalore with probably less than 8 hours of sleep collectively between about 10 of us since we left Dubai. The hotel welcome was TRADITIONAL INDIAN to say the least!

Being the MBA students that we are, here's a case analysis view of the events of Day 1 (MBA Style!)

Problem Definition: Need to avoid the effects of a jet lg

Recommendation: Stay up till 10 pm this evening

Analysis: The best way to tackle a jet lag is to stay awake for the entire day (Parto 2014). In order to do so, one needs to plan out activities and stay way from the hotel and get a feel for the city we're in (Loudoun and Khare, 2014). We should start out by getting breakfast at the hotel (Wan 2014) and then move out in the city and probably get some of the sightseeing done seeing as this is the one day we've got totally to ourselves (Randhawa et. al)!
