Goodbye

As most of you know, my plans were to spend the following month travelling through my last whim, China. However, as I was about to leave the marvelous Taj Mahal, I received bad news from home. Apparently, a new kind of flu virus is spreading really fast and some countries (China among them) are talking about starting to close their frontiers. My family thought that me getting stuck at such a distance from Mallorca after 5 months of non-stop travelling was something that was not going to happen. I started to see all my plans (Shanghai, Guilin, Xian, Beijing, Tibet, ...) slowly walking away...

I must say that to me everything seemed a bit overreacting, but at that point my best efforts were focused on staying awake in an awful Indian train station filled with really big rats. I had no way of getting information about this supposed virus, so I decided to come back. That means that… yes!! I’m writing these lines from Spain!! It is really weird to be at home again, with a comfortable bed, a shower with permanent hot water and shops that do not accept the bargaining system!! (this last one is really disappointing)

But let's not make this small setback ruin my memories of the last 5 months! My exchange has been something that I would definitely never forget, an experience that has for sure changed my way of seeing things, a journey that I recommend to everybody!! Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, India... wait for me, I'll be back!!
