from rainy roads to chengdu

It's good to be back in Chengdu after spending nearly three weeks in Kerala, India. We visited scenic spots in Gudalur and Balussery. It was nice spending quality time exploring local areas. Aside from travel, I enjoyed relaxing at home, catching up with family, and playing video games with my brother.

However, the trip back involved challenging travel conditions due to heavy rains lashing the state. My original train journey to Aluva got canceled at the last minute due to flooding on the tracks. I had to take a bus instead, which was a tiring experience as we drove through overflowing bridges in the rainfall. I appreciate the bus driver for getting us safely to Cochin International Airport. This trip also marked my first time taking a flight from Bangkok's SAT 1 terminal.

Some photos from SAT 1:

On a sadder note, I took the flight back on the same day that the tragic Wayanad landslides occurred, claiming over 288 lives, according to reports. My thoughts are with the victims and their families during this difficult time.
