Leaving Hebertpur
July 14th, 2004
Today I leave Hebertpur for Delhi. Tomorrow I leave for Raxual. Friday I get to Raxual. It is going to be one hell of a long trip. I don’t like travelling for that long on trains. 8 hours is about my max enjoyable train trip. If you have a buddy it’s okay, but I am going solo :-(.
I am looking forward to getting to stay in one place for a decent amount of time. I hate packing suitcases. Though I am getting much better at it. I am starting to really understand the virtues of folding clothes.
Anyway Hebertpur has been fun. People have been good, wonder whether I’ll miss them. It’s only been a week but feels like longer. Oh and I actually managed to fix one whole computer whilst I have been here. How good am I?
I had hated long train trips until I went on a two-day one in India and it was totally the funnest. People come visit you and chat and I read the entire, well almost book “The Firm” and funny people walk around the train asking if you want food. And I reckon the food is real yum on the train. And they say funny things like water bisleri frooti, bread omleeeeeeeete. So, have fun.
Oh and I really wanted to contact Tear and get them to give you a welcome kick up the bum. But I thought about it too late. But how awesome would that have been!
