On Saturday my closest friend here in Delhi is returning to the US. She may return in February, she may not return at all. I'm very sad :(
I think that the hardest part of being an ex-Pat is the constant coming and going of friends. It is cool on the one hand; I've met tons of people from all over the world that have had such interesting lives (in my Hindi class is an Australian woman whose parents are from India but she was born in Singapore!); but it is tough when someone you get along really well with leaves.
However, she will go out with a bang! I'm taking the day off tomorrow so we can do some last minute sightseeing and we have lunch at a fun restaurant and dinner at another fun restaurant planned - a Mexican restaurant where I can get a Margarita.
So, if my posts next week sound like I'm in the depths of despair it is because my friend has left me (sniff sniff).
Total Aside: I went to an Italian restaurant last weekend, it was fantastic! I've seen a Greek restaurant here but haven't been in yet. I'm amazed at all the different cuisines you can get here.
Aside #2: am off tomorrow so you will be post-less for a few days. I hope you can all survive without me!
