Wow, I simultaneously thought that this trip would never be over, and the three weeks friggin' flew by! Three weeks ago seems so far away now...a totally different world. It is REALLY strange to me to think that all my friends and family are doing the same things that they were when I started the trip. My life has been so effected and altered it is hard to imagine going back and things being the same....
So yesterday we arrived in the mighty city of Bombay, after a three hour sweaty ride in a cab, getting lost and getting into an arguement with the cab driver (ah india, the country were nothing runs smoothly!). This city has a life of its own. The wealthiest city in India (and it is still the wealthiest even though 55% of the population lives in slums!), the home of Bollywood, and a city where Britan distinctly left its mark. Again the Europofile rears its ugly head, but I think this has been my favorite city so far, and the place I feel most comfortable. That may simply because they have side walks and I don't have to fight traffic/people/cow dung to go for a walk.
I am going to keep this short though, and sign off from India, because this is our last day (and the last few days it rained so much and we were stuck inside) and I want to get out there and enjoy it. Do some strolling, some shopping...and go to see a bollywood movie in the cinema, a fitting end to the trip I think! We are going to go and see the film that is sweeping the nation right now (just as we just swept the nation...see the parallels!), called Om Shanti Om.
Namaste from India, but keep any eye out because we will up load photos and videos when we get home! We CAN'T wait to see you all!
