I'm going home...aren't I?

My last few days in Spain were a little weird. I had so much to do, packing, getting rid of stuff I couldn't take with me, catching up with everybody one last time... but it was difficult to consider NZ as home. I had done so much travelling around europe that Spain felt like home, although now I'm back it's definitely home!
Anyway, I had lunch with Carmen (from the ORI) and Julio, and their cat Mimi, and my guitar (which I gave to Julio before christmas). We had an El Salvadorean chicken soup, which was divine, although Mimi was disappointed she didn't get any, then played with the cat for a bit. Her christmas present was a laser, which she'd chase all around the room, and when you swept it across the floor and up the wall she'd jump after it, getting really high. Like over my head height! It was so much fun.
Thursday during the day I took some cake and soft drink to the ORI, to say thankyou and goodbye. They were so nice to me and when I return to Europe I will definitely visit them in Spain. It was a working day for them so I chatted when I could but it was a sorta disjointed way to say bye. Ah well.
Thursday night, my last night in Spain, I went to Karolina's (a lithuanian girl) for dinner. We were thinking about going to the chinese restaurant but in the end Karolina cooked some Sweet and Sour Chicken at home, and it was delicious. We had lithuanian sweets for dessert. I couldn't have asked for a better 'leaving dinner'! Later on, about 1am we headed out to a nightclub where the erasmus students gather every thursday. I didn't stay too late, leaving shortly after 2, as I wanted to get some sleep before getting up early, but even so I didn't get to say goodbye to some people because they hadn't arrived yet. Crazy italians. Anyway, I was sad to leave, I made some very good friends there, but I know I'll be back some day. And on the plus side, I now have couches to crash in Poland, the Czech Republic, Lithuania, Italy, France, Ireland, England...and probably a few more. I hope some people will make it out out to NZ too but I'm not holding my breath, it is a long and expensive trip.
