I Lost My Mind in Mexico


I lost my mind in Mexico. I have been trying to get my memories here in Canada back but I couldn't. Ever since I came back, everything has seemed to be mirage to me. The night I arrived in Ottawa, I stared at the change which I got from the taxi driver for a long time. I needed a clear explanation for those exotic coins. The driver must have thought that how I could be accepted into the University of Ottawa. “What an idiot this lady is!!! She can't even count.”
I have just left for one month. But so many things happened in my trip. The journey was so hectic because of my greedy---I wanted to see too many cites. And because of that, my mind was very busy and never rested.
Arriving in Mexico City, walking in the dark street, and going to the ruins were all new adventures. Packing up my backpack and leaving for next destination always made me very excited. I was alone and I enjoyed it a lot. Every night I planned three options for the next day, but the next morning I woke up deciding to do something completely different. Doing something spontaneously was my life style. Sometimes I did not meet people so I didn't have real conversation for some days, while other time I met new friends from various countries and listened to their stories. It was so interesting not only to see people as an individual but also to notice the feature from their nationalities. That is the most appealing part of traveling.
I guess I am addicted to it.
