One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

there have been so many moments that i consider amazing but i'll never forget my trip to india during winter 2010 - the minute i landed (at around 4 am), i was already so culture-shocked.. riding in a taxi, watching families riding together on small motorcycles, sparkling shrines every corner, cows walking across the streets like they own the city, people mingling outside drinking tea in the dark, i just can't describe how i felt that time - i fell in love with india instantly.
