So Long India

Well, I left India yesterday morning at 2:35 am. Leaving was bittersweet. I was happy to leave the chaos and see my family in Italy (I'm now in Florence and will be travelling Italy for a few weeks). That said, arriving back to the West was a bit of culture shock. India is a difficult place to live but once you get in the swing of things - its an even more difficult place to leave. Life is very different in India and I have certainly adopted many of the cultural quirks and idiosyncracies. I almost began to eat my pasta by hand yesterday forgetting that its normal to use a fork and knife. Anyway, its a nice day here and I don't plan to spend too much time inside on the computer.Ciao! Buona Giornata.

Thanks to India and everyone I met there. It is a place full of warmth, love and mystery. I can't wait to return!
