weird:

that the streets are so smooth
that it's not dark at 7pm
not to hear kids yelling mzungu
to be able to understand almost everyone around me
to be sitting in Mr. (Zippy) Echo again
using tap water
to not think twice about eating lettuce
to be using interact
not going to Christine and Jeremy's for dinner every night
to be riding large buses where everyone does whatever they can to avoid contact
to not smell b.o. all the time
to have fast internet
to feel secure without grills, alarm systems, dogs or guards
not having geckos as housemates
to be using Canadian money again
seeing girls walking around wearing pretty much nothing
to be part of the majority again
not getting up everyday with work to complete

My heart is heavy and levitated.
Excited and devastated.

I leave today.
I arrive tomorrow.
