I'm so excited!! I'm going back to the city I was born in! That's Delhi, if you were wondering.
It's been four years since my last visit "home" (Finland is pretty much my home) and that's when we had a family vacation there. We'd visited Jaipur together then mom had to come back, so me, dad and Vipul went to Agra, Kanpur and Varanasi.
This time I'm going alone, 27.11-2.1. I arrive in India on 28th, early in the morning and next day I'm traveling to Ludhiana. I'm going there for a wedding and I don't have anything to wear!!!! PANIC!!!! There are four functions 30.11-3.12. when the wedding is. So relieved that the journey is just four hours. Downloading couple movies so that'll be around three hours and I got stuff to read. I'll also be putting my fake nails on that journey. I only have one Indian clothes and a dress, that I might wear either on the sangeet or henna function. So the day I arrive 'm going shopping for more clothes!! Every women's dream :D Gotta get matching jewelry and maybe a purse. Not shoes though, cause I know it's gonna be impossible to find even one in my size. I'll be taking two choices of heels with me. They'll have to do.
I'll be trying to update my wedding experience every evening (or something...) with my outfit and all.
Dunno when I'll be travelling back to Delhi, but whenever it is, I'm first gonna be staying a couple days with my aunt then visit my cousins and other relatives. It's gonna be around 4 weeks of just meeting relatives and jumping one house to another. And spending a lot, and I do mean a lot of time, in the car and/or other transportation.
I can't wait to see everyone! Missed everyone soooo much!! Not to mention the food xD So expect lots of food pics/updates. I'm not used to India in the winter, cause here we got insulation and floor heating so don't have to bother with layering up even inside. But I get to spend New Years with my relatives, after so many years :)
On other news, well Vipul's news, he's ok. His holidays just started and he's off to Sydney :) Even though I'm going to India, I'm still jealous of him, cause he gets to meet all the people we haven't seen in 15 years!! He doesn't even remember them, but I do!
I've already started packing and noticed I got tons of clothes, so in the next few days I gotta figure out which ones are unnecessary. WHY IS PACKING SO HARD?!?! But some of the stuff aren't coming back with me, so I can do a lot of shopping ;)
Wednesday is my last day at the junior high. where I've been for work practice. Gonna miss this environment. Pretty much been helping out in the class for foreigner students of 13-17 ages who have just moved to Finland. Since January to October I was in the same class, but in the elementary school and I loved it. I knew what they are going through and how hard it is to suddenly learn a new language, because that's where I started at. Point is, I gotta move onto another school when I come back, but hope to one day work in a similar kind of class. I am also now half way to finishing my degree ^^ Should graduate in June and then I'm off to Australia also!! :)
I promise to try and keep my blog updated through the trip, since I will be getting internet on my phone.
Laters~
