First of all, India was amazing. Like, totally amazing. My travel partner, Hil, and I got along incredibly well; we were born to travel together. Hil also planned a most excellent route for us that allowed me to see some really interesting pockets of various cultures/religions within India. The country's diversity means that for someone like myself, it is incomprehensible. There is so much going on in that country, and so much that you just can't understand as a visitor for 3 weeks. This just means I'll have to go back one day.
The World Cup is an even bigger deal now than it was when no one was actually playing. I'm hardly following it at all, but am more open to getting into football (see? look at me calling it football) than I ever have been. Go...Ghana!
Kevin Rudd, Australia's previous PM stepped down today. I don't follow Australian politics and had no idea he was losing his popularity. This has opened the door for Australia's first ever female PM - Julia Gillard. Pretty awesome. What would be even more awesome is if Stephen Harper would step down. But this got me wondering who Canada's Deputy PM is. Turns out we haven't had one since 2006. If Harper is unable to fulfill his Prime Ministerial duties, then he has stated that Lawrence Cannon can act on his behalf, and then Jim Prentice.
It's quite hot in Ottawa these days. Not as hot as Delhi (I am not struck with instant heat rash upon stepping outside), but still hot. Oh, also, apparently there was a magnitude 5 earthquake today that was felt across much of Ontario, Quebec and some Northern States. With the epicentre being about 60 km north of Ottawa, one would think that I would have felt something. It seems I'm among the few who felt nothing. It's confused me. Am I earthquake resistant? Should I be exploring other potential super powers? Probably.
