Yes I found it, my true love. The love of my life. And it’s forever. I LOVE INDIA. And it was horribly painful to leave the country the day before yesterday to head to singapore.
Short update: After my last entry my dearest uncle Hari arrived in Arambol – best Christmas present ever!! We had stayed in Goa until Christmas and then headed east to Hampi in company of a crazy englishman called Ashley. And oh yes, we did have a good time.
Hampi was – just like two years ago – breathtaking. (I’d really love to show you some pictures now but some stupid virus doesn’t allow me to upload pics from my camera…)
I only had three days in Hampi but they were just amazing! That made leaving india even harder and made me realise how much I love it. How much I had become a part of it and it bacame part of me.
I just love the country for the things it put me through, for the people I met, for the things I’ve learned about the country and about myself.
I love the indian mentality and how they just don’t give a shit about anything.
I admire them for always being relaxed and patient.
I love how they manage to squeeze 3 people on a bicycle, 4 people on a cycle-rickshaw, 5 people on a motorbike, 8 people into an autorickshaw, 10 people into a passanger car and 15 people into a minivan.
I love them for their openness and for always having a smile on their faces.
I even admire them for their clever tricks to rip tourists off.
I’m in Singapore now, staying in Little India of course but it actually has nothing to do with india and right now all I want to do is go back. I guess you guys should save me from getting a one-way ticket to india next time. I might not come back…
My roommate, best friend, and somehow elder and younger brother Gregor is arriving today and I just can’t wait to see him. We’re moving on to Kuala Lumpur tonight to celebrate New Year’s Eve there. Guess that will ease the pain for a while.
So I wish all of you a very happy new year 2009 and a merry christmas with a bit of delay. hehe
I’ll keep you posted. Big bussis and hugs to all of you.
