Mumbai bye

Well here it is... and how did it get here so fast? My time in India has come to an end. I really fell for this place. It's like a love/hate relationship. I swear just when you can't take all of the garbage, poverty, stench, and fleecing, something wonderful happens. Perhaps a decorated cow walks by, maybe you get invited to a celebration, or a friend brings you some coconut juice. I can't believe I'm leaving, but that's life, ever changing.

Thanksgiving was interesting. The girls and I ended up at Jimme's kitchen eating chinese food all "A Christmas Story" style. I didn't get that full feeling one should get on Thanksgiving, none the less I have celebrated US style 22 times, so it's no biggie.

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times

The other night Arun took me out for a motorcycle ride. At one point we were riding around, I was eating custard apple icecream, and to my left sat a decorated team of ponies, all the while rickshaws zipped around us. That's Mumbai.

I'm really going to miss my friends.

Thailand here I come!!!
