Dear India,

Goodbye! Things I'll miss (or not miss) about you:

- how you can make a 2 lane road into a 4 lane highway
- tiny, tiny pedestrian alleys crammed with people, motorcycles, stray dogs, cows, street vendors, feces... the list goes on
- the smell of fish drying in the sun
- people pooping on the train tracks as we go by
- small children saying "Hey sexy" at train stations
- men spitting red paan juice on every street corner
- that head waggle that your citizens are so good at
- sketchy, adulterous, aggressively spooning Couchsurfers
- elephants walking down the highway
- people asking to take photographs with them or with their children
- men who stare
- people who give directions to you even though they actually have no idea how to get to the place you're going, just because they want to help
- 34 hour train rides with entire 10 member families in your cabin
- 17 year olds who think they can date ladies between the ages of 24 and 30
- families who support their 17 year old's decision to go for it
- big expensive signs on buildings that have massively incorrect spellings
- the world's largest guide book
- falooda
- actually, ALL food...

Anyway, my point is: Thanks, India. You were a blast.

Love,
