Happysad!

As the project was running towards its last day, there was this one question that I always get from people around here, "Are you happy to go back?" I figured it's a staple question here in Germany when someone is leaving or going back to their home country and I honestly don't know what answer they are expecting. My honest answer would be, yes I am happy to go back... but at the same time quite sad to be putting an end to months of saying guten morgen, servus, gruss gott, tschüs, of hugging as a way of greeting (I exceeded my annual hug quota in the almost 3 months that I am here in Germany -- but in this case, excess of something is great). In short, I am happysad!

It's all good. Mission accomplished. I'm going back to the Philippines with tons of good memories and knowledge, happysad to know that I may be leaving but I will always have a family to go back to here! :)
