How did the time go by so quickly?
I'm now wrapping things up at work, all set for my last day on Tuesday, when I'll head to Johdpur for the wedding of a good friend's brother, before spending 10 days travelling ridiculous distances with good friends.
It's strange to reflect on just how quickly my time here has gone, but I'm looking ahead to Beijing, and I cannot wait. I'll be teaching English close to the centre of Beijing, and staying with a family on-site. Aside from wishing that I'd actually opened the "Easy Peasy Mandarin" book that I was so sure I'd study religiously every night as I was cramming it into my backpack, I'm feeling pretty much set.
I'll go with very fond memories of India - I have had an amazing time here, despite challenges, and I definitely hope to visit again to tour the South of the country.
And now I'm doing even more onward planning - the job that I thought I'd be starting back in London in August has been delayed until February 2010, and I'm currently trying to organise more work abroad in...the USA! Visa procedures are excessively traumatic (though an Indian person might tell me that it's just my karma for the number of people who I didn't sympathise enough with as I coached them through the equally traumatic process of coming to work in the UK), but stay tuned for more news once it's all sorted!
