SNOW!!!!

It's yet another day of excitement. After such a long wait, I've finally seen SNOW!!! I know I sound like sua gu, but OH MY GOODNESS, it's SNOW!!!! Haha!!! The snow was actually unexpected. Vinay brought us to Rothang Pass, the second highest motorway in the world (13000 feet) and also a tourist attraction. Being so high, the entire mountain was already covered beautifully in clean white snow, but the sky was clear and sunny (my sunglasses came to good use).Then suddenly, it rained...or so I thought. And soon, I realised that my jacket was covered in white flakes and I knew this was for real...It's SNOWING!!!

Haha, now I can finally understand what dagu meant when she walked in the snow when she was in England. Snow is really slippery. Thank God for the good pair of trekking shoes. We had great fun making snowman, having snowball fights and just enjoying it. Wasn't daring to do wat Ben did when he was in Swiss, lie down and make angel, cos there were many animals ard, and I realised that the snow may not be as clean as I imagine. Plus snow here is really wet and sticky.

Oh, did I mention that snow is really COLD!!! Didn't expect it to be that cold. Nearly got frostbite of of making the snowman and all the snowball fights :P

Ah, I'm really beginning to find home here in Manali. Honestly, I don't feel like leaving. Have just got to settle into the lifestyle eg I know here to get the cheapest and nicest chai, get my groceries, wash my clothes etc. Plus, have built really great relationships with so many ppl that I'm feeling part of the community here already. It's really sad that I'll be leaving in less than 7days and I'm sure I'll miss the place. Well, if God willing, I'll come back...and even bring my family on a holiday!!!

Ah, wild dreams :P But really thank God for blessing us for the past weeks. Everything has been going so smoothly (except that I just lost one of my rechargable batt, so sad, must have dropped out of my pocket or sth), we've had so many ppl blessing us along the way, giving us precious advice and guidance. God has kept us safe and healthy, despite all the bad stories of India. Praise the Lord!!!
