India, Asia
Two words: CULTURE SHOCK
Yes, it was dirty and humid and I did get sick with Hepatitis, but SO GLAD I WENT! I even considered moving there! It’s just a different world. It was refreshing to go somewhere that was so “real”! It’s a very poor country and so many people are starving and disease ridden. Sad to see, but humbling. It makes you look at life a little deeper and be grateful for all you’ve got. I went to one of the poorest areas in India, Chennai (AKA Madrid). I visited slums, Mother Theresa orphanages, and an AIDS home for children. I love the people! They were so welcoming, kind, and joyful! I also visited the coast and saw peacocks and beautiful coastal weather! Like I said, it’s definitely worth visiting!
