I don't know if places have adopted me, but the people have always adopted me wherever i stayed. Sometimes even an overnight stay meant being adopted and for a night that was home.
Loved the pictures and the description. I would love to cycle through Europe (and France in particular), but language and cost has kept me away. Maybe one day!
The people are sometimes the best. But there's something in the air and in the soil of Tours that welcomed me.
Thanks for stopping by! Sorry, I've been inactive for about 2 weeks and never got around to taking up the positivity challenge.
Tell me when that one day comes! I'd love to go back and cycle in France and if you come with me, you won't have a language problem so that's half the struggle.
The air and soil thingy (and cheap beer and petrol!) I feel every time I go to Goa. But I am from there, never lived there though, so not sure if Goa counts.
I tagged 7 people for the positive thing. Not one person posted :D I guess my positive influence is not great!
Oooo. Sounds like a plan. That would be super cool. Which other languages you speak? Will make plans for all those countries :p Jokes apart, I have never had a problem with language, even though I know only two. English and hindi. Communication works through being humane. France is the exception, where I have heard horror stories of being cold shouldered for speaking English!
Sure! How.is it that you've never lived there? Would you call yourself Goan?
It's not that the positive influence is not great, i was just incredibly busy these past weeks.
I speak Tamil (obv), Bombay Hindi, French and a smattering of Korean. I won't lie, France can be difficult for non-French speakers but it's wonderful to cycle in.
My family decided to leave goa 170 years ago! Yeah, i mostly call myself confused though. Food and culture has more Goan than north indian in it! But there isn't a feeling of belonging anywhere. Thus confused works best!
Ha. Tam bram speaking bambaiya hindi must be quite amusing to hear :D
There was this tam bram French professor in Elphinstone college in Bombay. I wonder if you studied under her tutelage there. If you studied in Bombay.
