First day of work

It is around 11:10am on my first day of work. The caretaker came to pick me up around 8:30. He started making me tea but I had already eaten my cereal. I conveyed this with hand motions as he speaks Hindi, and I do not (note to self: I should try to speak Hindi. It will probably get me far). We reached the office at like 9. Got a call from the lady that I was supposed to meet saying she was running 45 minutes late. Ah what to do for 45 minutes without internet? I should've brought a book but naturally forgot.

Anyways, then the lady came at like 9:45, we chatted, I met people, it was cool.

I am now awaiting Jason's arrival (the other Penn student that is working here).

Now for everyone's advice: The girl next to me seems young and cool (aka Westernized). I want to strike up conversation but i'm not sure how. It's been like 4 years since I've had to make new friends (read: i miss college), and I've never had to do it in another country. What do I say? How do we become friends? There are also about 5 other interns from some college in Mumbai. All boys. They seem to be a clique, but nice. How do I talk to them?

Oh the questions are flying...
