Some departing thoughts...

A few months ago I spotted this quote on the blog of a former Western Heads East intern and it came to mind this weekend as I was packing...

You get a strange feeling when you are about to leave a place, I told him, like you'll not only miss the people you love but you'll miss the person you are now, at this time and place, because you'll never be this way again.

-- Azar Nafisi, Reading Lolita in Tehran
