It's pretty weird to see one generation of @ers move on...and you're still here.
It's also weird to see just about everyone leaving the country right now while I'm, again, still here. I haven't been on a plane since March, and while Skyping with Amit today, who's somewhere off in Europe, I confessed that I actually miss airports. I miss sitting on a plane and watching the skyline as it takes off, people watching in the airport, striking up random conversations with the stranger next to you on the plane....that's just one of the many things this past year of frequent travelling has done to me...and I love it.
Next week: travelling with the parents. I've grown pretty used to flying alone and love it. Not sure how this one's going to work out...

I feel you on the rapidly progressing generations of AIESECers... Here in Almaty, they call 'old-school' AIESECers "veshalki" -- Russian for coathangers -- because while everyone else moves on with their lives, they hang around and keep making valuable contributions to the organisation. :)
