It's hard to believe that we've almost been here in Bangalore for almost two months. I feel like we have accomplished so much in such a short time. We live in a nice neighborhood, Bruce is in school, I've made some fun friends, had play dates, date nights with John, done volunteer work and commitments to do more. Wine dinners, wine tasting coming up. Volunteer work that I hope won't break my heart and that I hope will feed my soul on the horizon. Cooking classes, photography workshops, bollywood dance lessons all on the radar...You see I spent so much time in Malaysia "settling in" that although I enjoyed my time immensely there, I don't feel I ever submerged myself into the culture or the nitty gritty of what Kuala Lumpur was all about. We traveled, we played, we hosted fun get togethers. We made lifelong friendships. We did everything within a comfort zone. I'm letting my hair down here. Take me as I am Bangalore, you're in my face and I'm going to be in yours. You fascinate me, you terrify me. You have already made me incredibly happy and my heart has overflowed with the gentleness and kindness that people seem to have towards my son. I am not taking my time settling in this time. I know all too well how quickly time passes. I'm going to enjoy, learn, and experience everything I can this time around.
You sound like your having so much fun! I am so happy for you'all! Cooking classes? Okay, so, now, I'm jealous! That would be so cool to take cooking classes in different countries!
