Last Day in India...

Well, that about does it for 7 months in India. I'll be heading to the airport in less than two hours and it's really hard to describe how it feels. On the day I flew back to Canada from Beijing, I remember thinking that "going to Canada was just another thing I had to do that day." In a way, I feel the same now except I know that it'll be a while before I get to go anywhere exciting again.

I always said that India was a roller coaster ride from the beginning. Some days it was good, others it was bad. Overall, though, it was in incredible experience that is unlikely to be matched. As I leave, I start to wonder how much I'll miss this place. The way I see it, I'll miss the following things:

Chai
Lassi
Chapati
Getting Shaves

I also won't miss:

Pollution
Traffic
Questions (Which country, etc.)
Dust

I'm looking forward to seeing what Canada has to offer now that I've been away from it for some time. Hockey is one of those things i've been craving for the last while, so can't wait to see it again. One question is what to do with the blog now that I'm no longer travelling. My hope is to make life in Canada comical in some way. After all, I'm Canadian and should be able to make fun of my own country, right?

In the end, it's hard to believe this year is over. It started in Mongolia, then China, Canada, and ended in India. Sitting in my living room last June, I never would've expected that I would be sitting in an Internet Cafe in Delhi waiting for a flight that I almost missed due to it changing.

This is one year I'll never forget.
