missing the 603

basilio i know how you feel man... i would have liked to spend a lot more time in Istanbul especially with the people i met, it was a great time, and certainly a life within a life. i finally saw "The Motorcycle Diaries" and that really had me thinking about travelling again and taking time to do it. this business class i'm taking we were learning about the value of money across different times, and the professor who's like 60+ was explaining how travelling when your well established late in your life is nothing compared to travelling as a youth. if all goes well i'll be in portugal and parts of western europe in september. it'll only be a month, but thats all i can spare for now. friends of mine have planned on going to the carribean during the 2007 cricket world cup (its right after we graduate in the summer), but thats a long way off. but i hope to go to latin america either through auniversity program or when i get a long break... i'll be going back home this winter after nearly a year and a half, its a little weird how friends you went to school with for years feel like strangers initially when you go back... with the aiesec traineeship, i didn't realise it until a trainee who came back from costa rica talked about how a lot of his friends don't seem to want to hear about histraineeship/trip, and that is true. its also hard to describe my visit to istanbul, i can probably say a few adjectives like amazing, fun, exciting but that doesn't mean much. its hard to describe it to others, you guys know what i mean... hey you know what would really get this site buzzing? adding Megan to the blog. any how i hope all the others start blogging here soon.
