I know it's been ages since I last posted something on my blog. Well as you all probably knew already, it was because I had voyaged off to discover a new aspect of the northern hemisphere. Yes that's right folks I indeed went to Singapore and India.
To be honest they probably were the best 10 days of the past 7 years I have had. Considering most of the past 7 years were spent dedicating myself to studying (not that this year shall be any different) and sulking over various problems in my life.
Well getting back to the main point of today's blog... Yes India and Singapore were brilliant. Infact I'm sort of wishing it hadn't ended so fast and that I were still there at this very moment.
Singapore was expected to be great due to it's ability to control it's citizens in terms of cleanliness and presentation of their country but it still never seized to impress me regardless. The place is absolutely stunning with thousands of 100 metre tall sky scrappers, Sentosa Island fantasies and down to earth citizens and may I also add our fabulous hotel Amara and it's spectacular scenary in the city centre.
But today I'm not going to blog about how fantastic Singapore was but instead I'm going to tell y'all about this developing country known to many as the land for "curry munchers" (and I'll be honest, I was one those skeptics about the place as well)... India!
Before even boarding the Jet Airways plane to India, I was warned by my mom, aunty and cousin to walk into that country with an open mind and not a single expectation. And so I did exactly that! But India turned out to be a real eye opener and showed me what true culture and heritage really is. The place is amazing in every possible way. Although at times it became really difficult to look around and see hundreds of small kids, from new borns to teens, living in conditions where not even animal could bare to survive, India had alot to offer.
It's difficult to attempt to place those stilled memories in my head into words to describe how different and culturally rich India truly is. Instead I would recommend all, ever considering to take a vacation, to definately visit India once in their lifetime to see how real people live and deal with real problems... who knows it might just change your perspective of life like it did mine.
Well I'm quite jet lagged after having boarded a flight yesterday morning at 8:55am and having finally reached Sydney today at 1:12pm via switching 3 flights from Dehli to Singapore to Perth to Sydney!
So I'm off but I hope tomorrow I'll be more energetic to give more details about my trip. But till then folks here's my little "welcome home" quote for the day.
“All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own. And if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.” – Samuel Johnson

P.s; While I still have about a minute of energy within me, I shall also mention the amount of eye candy you get when you visit foreign countries, but I shall complete this faction about "eye candy" tomorrow!
