Hi, thank you again for your replies, you may think me strange for coming on so often when i should be experiencing many new things but just coming on for 10minutes can help me through the whole day! And yes, you did make me smile - again! thanks.
I'm on a gap year between school and University and i decided to travel to India to gain more independence and to experience life outside England. I'm volunteering at a school for children with disabliities which can be difficult but also extremely rewarding when you see them smiling after managing to count to 5 for the first time. It puts things into perspecitve to say the least - that's why i am selfish.
The best food, mmm.... that's difficult as all the food i've had here is quite bland. Wierd i know, but it is quite unsafe to eat meat and because of the bird virus chicken is out of the question, so there isn't as much Tikka Masala as chickpeas and lentils etc. It's all ediable but i do crave Pasta at times!
Oh, and if you ever wanted to know what it's like to be famous coming here would give you a fair idea! You get stared at constantly and people come up quite randomly to say hello and practise their English. It's all very bizzare, for example, being told you have beautiful eyes and are very sweet by a giggling girl at a museum is not exactly a regular occurence back home, not that i mind too much! =)
Thanks again for your interest, i look forward to the connection with people that understand me and do not pressure me to feel one way or another but accept me when i feel bad.
Lots of love Abby
