Won't wake up to the Sea anymore

Finally the day has arrived! phew!! got my tickets for going back and be with my husband :)
but as I got up today morning to pay one last final visit to the 'bridge over troubled waters' ...a small bridge on the sea, in the hotel I'm staying...I felt all senti!
Despite longing to go back...this trip was a great experience...an eye opener in many ways! This place is a melting pot of the entire world...I actually even met someone from Madagascar! :) before that only thought it is a place concocted for the famous animated series!
And God..how will I wake up looking at the concrete jungle now :(
I have so much to pen down more about this place...will try writing all the stories even after I'm gone...like the one with a shopkeeper asking me out for a date!!..no joking...exactly how they show in 'Freinds' :D ...next time I'm gonna get a bigger wedding ring that's hard to miss...is my husband listening?? I need a bigger diamond ..or else!! :D hehe ...I'm sure I'm gonna remember this adventure all my life! :)

Shall we dance?

Dance has secretly been my passion ever since I remember but apart from endless years spent in preparing the ideal dance for my sister's wedding...never really exhibited the confidence that I can dance! All this changed when I went for my MBA... to dance by seniors n peers alike..the hidden talent came out eventually :) so much so that all I remember now is dancing my way through MBA!
...hey but why am I talking about all that now? In a blog dedicated to my adventures in New Cal?
Well...this is just another story in my kitty that has made my trip and all the hurdles I faced here worthwhile :) ...the story of dancing to a latino dance without knowing anything about it..not even 1 single move!
I was invited for an official farewell dinner for some colleagues and later forced to join everyone else to a pub! I guess the last time I went to a pub it was the start of 18th century :D hehe I mean I'm not a pubbing person at all...and so was expecting to be taken back in an hour or so...but my client boss just wouldn't let me leave...constantly forcing me to have a drink, which I kept passing here n there...inwardly I was cursing him and trying to find ways to sneak past him...and then just as I was trying an escape for nth time...another colleague caught me off guard and just very casually started dancing...all he did was twist n turn my fingers n hands...and there I was...rolling, turning here n there without making any effort!! I guess it took me good 2 mins to realsie what was happening :) and then I was thrilledddd... it was like my dream come true!!
Was it really me? dancing like I never did before...on a Latin dance :) :) yeeee!!
I'm sure this German colleague of mine wouldn't have realized he was doing me such a big favor :D I had a great great time...and those 10 mins indeed made my trip here worthwhile!
I really had the 'Time of my Life'! :)
