It has been a while since I've written anything. I've been busy finishing up my final report and preparing for my presentations. So I leave for Vancouver next Tuesday (Aug 16) and feel quite accomplished since I've finished my final report at Save the Children, giving a presentation tomorrow and got to travel to places around Nepal I've never traveled. I trekked the Annapurna Base Camp and explored the villages of Banke and Rukum which was a completely different experience. Speaking of accomplishments, I've managed to stock up on my wai-wai, masalas, titaura to take back with me to Vancouver for at least a year. It seriously amazes me that I manage to bring and take back 2 X 23 kilos of luggage every year. It's never lower than than or more (well I'm not allowed but still) Clearly, I'm not a light packer but that's okay because at least I'm prepared for whatever. Oh by the way, it's not all for me. I've got gifts for some of you :) yay!!!
It's always such a strange feeling leaving Kathmandu. I'm looking forward to all these things in Kathmandu yet there's this other part of me saying oh i'm going to miss this and this and this... However, let's focus on the positives and let you know what i'm looking forward to....(yes, there's a list)
- Can't wait to walk into my new home and see my bestie Robyn :) I know she has already planned me a meal (I'm sorry FEAST) for that night I get in (Wednesday Aug 17) :P
- YES, i'm looking forward to unpacking, organizing and arranging my room. For those of you who don't know me, I'm super into the organizing and arranging part.
- VISITING all my friends-you know who you are (you're not allowed to say "omg you're so tanned or that I gained weight....just be jealous and know that my mother and relatives love me lots)
- Chilling at the beach in the sunshine...
- RUNNING!!!! I cannot stress how much I need and want to do this. Running outside in the fresh air or running to the beach.
- Starting the INSANITY program.
- Using my magic bullet and sip on my home-made margaritas. ( I know #6 and #7 are sort of conflicting)
- Pampering my taste buds --> definitely headed to noodle box and kitstaya sushi. I also missed my salt n vinegar chips. I never managed to find this in KTM.
- As much as I enjoyed my mom's food and the luxury of not cooking, I have missed cooking by myself and doing my own groceries.
- Wine Tour at Pacific Breeze Winery
- Organizing my schedule and running on my own time.
- 4 day weekend :)
- Being a 5th year student at UBC and figuring out where my life is headed after that.
- Seeing my mum, Su and Linda for my grad in MAY!
5 days to go......
