From India, With Love

I'm back.

It's hard to write something that could summarize my experience for the past 3 weeks, for I had such a big change in perspective, emotion, sensation and outlook after this journey. But there is one thing that hasn't change from beginning till the end-- Mumbai is truly a great place. Great food, great movies, great music and great people. Now I am sounding a bit touristic, am I not?

However, it's indeed the nice people that I've met in this trip which made the whole experience particularly fruitful and special. From the friends we worked together with in J.J. School, to just any little kid on the street that shook my hand, ask what my name is and requested for a photo. I'm touched by all these friendly and smiley faces, and also ,of course, by their genuine personalities.

Even though sometimes I feel doubtful about my role as an architectural student in this project, I definitely have gained some insight and became (somehow, I hope) a better person. My parents said I will definitely encounter to something shocking in the trip that will have some impact on me. I guess there are too much of these impacts in the trip. The accident at the train tracks, the chaotic traffics, the ethicity of Indian culture, walking in Dharavi.............


Shall update again later.
