Journal entry from Manali
Life is amazing.
It presents you with all kinds of opportunities, if you're open to them, one opportunity will lead to another, and they'll take you through many amazing experiences.
I'm so glad I decided to accept the invitation to come to India. To be honest I had a lot of doubts before. Why would I want to go to an over-populated country, getting paid 1/4 of the standard NZ salary, living with the city traffic, pollution, noise, crowd, and worse living conditions?
The answer, is that these experiences enriched my life. I'm very happy to see the changes in me. I've become more open and more relaxed. I stopped worrying about job, career, and money, and I have a lot more acceptance to everything happening around me.
Best of all, the friendship I have here, and the chance to experience India, is priceless.
I'm now in Vashist, Manali. It's such a nice and comfortable place, and for Rs. 350 (NZD $11.7) per night, I have a million-dollar mountain view (the beginning of the great Himalaya range) in the hotel. Ok it is kind of a high price for my accomodation budget (usually it's around Rs 100~150), but...it's time to give myself a bit of a treat.
Life is good.

Good to hear it! Naturally I'm jealous that you are up in the mountains while I'm stuck less than 100m above sea-level.
We'll look forward to seeing the changed Edwin when you eventually get back. Take care.
You may not be able to see the changes I afraid~
Unless you get into my head & see how the neuro connections have been changed ^^
Well, to be honest, I had been planning to crack your head open...
