Christmas thoughts

Recently I've realized that I am actually going through culture shock. For me it takes the form of comparing everything to how it would be in Sweden. I hadn't noticed that I did it until one of my local friends comented on it. I think I started after spending two days in bed with food poisoning. At that point I really missed being at home in my comfortable bed. Another part of it is that the differences in wealth is starting to get to me a bit. I am used to in general but there are moments when it does get me down.

Now that it's starting to sink in that it's actually Christmas today I do wish I was home. This being my favorite day of the year it feels strange to not be there. Fortunatley there will be a big bbq tonight with all the interns and AIESECers. This will cheer me up for sure. Some other good news is that everything's finally prepared for the vacation in Goa. Four consecutive days of vacation and partying is going to be heavenly. Can't wait to get there and see what all the fuss is about ;)

Now we're off to church for a couple of hours of jazz and carols before heading for dinner and partying. For everyone at home or wherever you might be:


Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
