It's Really Over!

We've made it home alive and well...except not well in Adrienne's case but we got her home alive so our job is done. I just want to make a few comments about the trip:

1. You can't truly appreciate how multicultural Canada is until you've lived as a Chinese person in South America for a month.

2. It's incredibly weird for me to resist the urge to throw the toilet paper in the bin and to flush it down instead. I will also never, ever take for granted toilets, toilet paper, toilet seats or anything toilet related.

3. I think I should now be considered to have 'stomach of steel' considering i had the least stomach problems amongst us. But AliceT beat us all in the health department, she resisted all of our germs!

4. AliceT is also as strong as a man, carrying her bag and Adrienne's around. Although I'd like to boast that even I carried one of Adrienne's bags a few times.

5. I personally feel a lot stronger and more well travelled than before. Next time I do a trip like this, I would backpack instead of following a tour. And there definitely will be a next time.

Amen!
To most of that, at least. :P

I still have a stomach of steel. It can handle any food I shove at it. The only thing it is weak against is other people's contagious stomach diseases.

And yes. Much thanks to AliceT! The greatest pseudo-boyfriend ever! Thanks to her, I didn't bash my head into the floor in the observatory.
