Before I left for this adventure, everyone said that I was going to love India. I love it. There are many things that I enjoy in life; things that are interesting to me and also things that enrich my life from day to day in Canada. But it is obvious to me that I love this place, real love.
I got a massage the other day for about $12. I couldn't believe how good it was. It was a 40 minute head neck and back massage. It was one of the best massages I've ever received.
Two days ago I got fed up with my laptop. It's had a broken mouse, speakers and disc drive for a long time. I've taken it to a few places in Canada and haven't actually managed to get it fixed for a price that I could afford.
I passed by a store with a sign saying they fix laptops. Took my computer in, two days later they returned it to me with everything working for the low price of only $140. They showed me how it all worked, what they installed and then they wrapped it up to return it to me all clean and tidy.
Of course, I am living in a really nice area where there is everything at my finger tips and I am loving my job. That could have a large part to do with how much I am enjoying this place.
I I have been going for runs at any time- early morning, late evening. It's fine. I feel safe because there are always people out and about. I'll see families strolling along the road late in the evening and early morning joggers up before work starts. It's just always full of life here.
There's also a courteousy that I really appreciate. Today, I mentioned barely out loud that I hadn't brought enough food with me for my teaching day. A student nipped out and bought me a sandwich without me even asking. How curteous and kind, how thoughtful.
Sigh. Come visit India if you can. It's lovely here.
