To End a Journey

I started this blog preempting your curiosity. 33 posts later, I probably managed to give you a faint idea. Truth of the matter is that Sudan is truly a special place. The experience cannot be given justice in 33 posts. With every new country came a new experience. It's true that no two countries are the same. But Sudan stands appart. It's been unique from a professional as well as life point of view.



The most important things I take with me are the memories and friendships I've made while in Sudan (inside and outside the country). I've also developed an immunity to about half the exotic bacteria in the world. Besides that, it's the unrivaled power of the sandstorms and thunderstorms, the chicken flavoured French union soup, the special (excited) landmarks, and the relative logic that will distort my whole comfort zone to re shape my world. Besides, they make excellent stories to tell at parties.

The end of one journey is only the beginning of another. So the end of this blog is the beginning of another. I will keep you posted on my next journey. I doubt it will top this one, but the times I've said that...

Thanks to all who have kept me company throughout this journey by posting your comments and just visiting my blog.
So now, go out and do something for the first time. And then repeat every week.
