For anyone getting a visa for the summer in India, be aware that August 15th is Independence Day. Not knowing this, I was given a 2.5 month working visa valid until... August 15th. Until recently, I was planning on getting a one week extension so that I could fly to Mumbai and spend 5 days with the AIESEC India National Team before heading to the International Conference in Kenya. Unfortunately, a trip to Delhi during office hours would be necessary to process the paperwork, and with only 2 weeks left in Chandigarh, I'm not willing to give up the opportunity cost of a day at school. I will however squeeze in a trip to Agra on the last weekend before departing.
So, what to do?
Go visit Rafael Pilliard Hellwig in Muscat, Oman! I honestly never thought I would go to Oman, but am now super keen. Entry visa can be obtained at the airport for up to a one month stay for about $15 CAN. Oman is about halfway to Kenya from Delhi, and the cost of the Delhi-Muscat-Nairobi flight is only $40 different from the Delhi-Mumbai-Nairobi trip.
Flight is booked, accommodation confirmed, airport pick up confirmed, sunscreen packed.
I will start putting together my to-do list Oman Edition!

ReplyDeleteYea, I'll be here... working!
You're going to have so much fun!!
Travel spins us round in two ways at once: It shows us the sights and values and issues that we might ordinarily ignore; but it also, and more deeply, shows us all the parts of ourselves that might otherwise grow rusty. For in traveling to a truly foreign place, we inevitably travel to moods and states of mind and hidden inward passages that we'd otherwise seldom have cause to visit. Cheap flights to Muscat
