Today is my last day in Hyderabad, India. And while I am so excited to enter the next stage of my life back in the States, I will certainly miss some things about living here. So I want to take some time right now and remember some of my favorite things (a la The Sound of Music).
having my own bathroom (even though Ryan tried to poach it near the end)
bottled water delivered straight to our door for $2/50 liters.
days at the spa (for cheap!)
a wide variety of wonderful restaurants (for cheap!)
living here was something that made me interesting (am I revealing my inner insecurities?)
furniture made just how you like it (for relatively cheap!)
meeting people from all over the world
learning some Hindi (I hope I can continue learning!)
feeling like a celebrity (being stared at, people wanting my picture)
our beautiful, beautiful apartment (something I already miss, as we are staying in a hotel now)
our sweet driver (pic below with Ryan)
Ryan and Laxman
Of course, there are things I won't miss. But I prefer to remember the positives (in print, at least!). So goodbye, Hyderabad! It has been an amazing experience living here. I will always hold the city close to my heart.
