Sitting in the Mumbai airport...
My train ride flew by in no time [edit]. Now I've got 12 hours to kill, so I thought I'd let you share in my boredom with a pointless airport post!
I'm pretty sure I got ripped off on the taxi ride from the train station, but my mind is too mushy at the moment to care.
Hmm, so my general impressions of India: chaotic, exotic, diverse, perverse... colourful, beautiful, spiritual, obscene... dirty, innocent, incoherent, serene.
And every other adjective you can think of, except maybe "boring" - outside the airport, that is.
Actually though I'm glad to be going home... Since I decided in Delhi not to leave for Nepal or Pakistan to renew my visa I've had a hankering to get back and replenish my energy reserves. Out of all the countries I've been to though, this is one that I really think I'll have to return to someday. India is HUGE, and there are quite a few places I've yet to see and really want to, as well as some that I want to see again.
It was nice starting out with my parents and friends this time. I've only ever travelled overseas by myself before - having company makes a big difference. Friends and family take note: travelling partners wanted!
Anyway, if I get too bored in another few hours maybe I'll get back on and bore you some more... Ciao!

Greetings bored one...Mumbai airport has the best lounge chairs of any airport I've ever been to. Well...dirty, but really comfy.And they have this little cart that circulates around and serves masala tea for 20 rupees.Can't get that anywhere else. I'll see you very soon! Phone from Vancouver to confirm when your plane gets in to Victoria. Ours was delayed about 2 and a half hours. Kisses!
