I really do miss the quiet times when the days give way to darkness at 7pm.
Where there was nothing to do once the generator shuts off at 10pm .
And where the stars light up the sky in ways you can never imagine.
Where your wishes run out before the shooting stars do and you realise that life isnt as bad as it is made out to be.
Where you can lose yourself talking to people and not be interrupted by phone calls, smses, msn, emails, facebook...
Where you hear stories of hardship and struggles and then, love.
Where you learn that you may not be able to get along with the whole world but nothing stands in the way of mutual respect.
Where people go out of the way to help you.
Where bugs fall like rain and mozzie nets are our saviour.
Where cramped quarters give you comfort and solace.
Where it was ok to be alone to think and not appear anti-social.
Where you grow numb looking at the same things being sold at the Old Market, Russian Market, Central Market, New Market....
Where our guys lose out to aunties there when it comes to hard labour.
Where we are amazed by every innovation they use in construction and lament upon our useless education.
Where ice creams and crackers cost less than 20cents.
Where we could walk along a dam, ride on ox-carts, travel on a motor-cart, sleep on hammocks, harvest rice and feel small in fields you could lose yourself in.
Where our water supply got cut off one day and how disgusted we were to learn that it was because we somehow managed to work our way through 1000 litres of water in 3 days.
Where our group became a team.
Where lifestyles are so different and you wonder if any of us are truly happy.
Where things are so beautiful and you wonder how the world is going to be the day when places turn into cities, when fields give way to buildings and when nature loses to man (sidenote: this was the main reason why the antagonist in Hellboy 2 wanted to destroy mankind and I cant really blame him).
Where life was simple. When it was december 2008.
