Just back from India late in October, I have been chillin and chasin' the wind, both to equal degrees. Decompressing from India travel was both interesting and entertaining. While the air in America had a cleanliness even the planes at Chicago's airport couldn't squelch, there were different kinds of dirt upon reentry. So many brilliant things about the US that i now appreciate much MUCH more; the lack of mountainous trash in the streets, the seemingly universal and normal standards of cleanliness of the health care system, humidity less than 107%... the list goes on.
But also, there are things that were brilliant in India that i miss, many of which are simply awesome elements of travelling (anywhere) but that i currently attribute to India specifically.
This post to be continued as I am headed to Coalition Brewery for drinks and deliciousness with my work (previous ;) peeps. Cheers y'all!
