Australia day in India

Today was Straya day back in Aus so most of the day was spent relaxing by the pool and streaming Triple j's hottest 100. This was really the best way to finish our EWB trip. Everyone just enjoying each others company. I really feel so blessed to have spent these 3 weeks with such incredible people.
We wrote into Triple J hopeing they would call us. Here's what we wrote:
"For our straya day, like most Aussies, we are partying by the beach, the difference being we've been "taken away to the dark side" and are 8,000km away in Mahabalapuram, an Indian city "that you won't see on tv". "But don't your woooorrry", we are Aussie humanitarian engineers in India to find our "resolution". "We're at square one" and have been "up all night to get lucky". We've commandeered the propaganda speakers in the hotel to broadcast the hottest 100 along with a pet turkey and three geese! But guess what turkey, "you're on your own"! Gobble, gobble... Gobble, gobble."
Goodbyes were sad but it really has not sunk in that I probably wont see any of them again. At the airport Kate and I walked through security only to see Will and Dave get turned back and sent to another terminal. The only goodbye then was a wave. Worst goodbye ever.
I
think it helped having a group of people that were all interested in
similar goals. You wouldn't come on this trip in the first place if you
didn't like participating in a group Id encourage anyone who is
interested in Sustainable design, humanitarian engineering, community
development or even just experiencing India in a different light to
participate in this trip. It was the most amazing thing I have ever done
and I loved every second of it.
