Rainy morning ...

Sooo stoked about not submitting to peer pressure and not going out with everyone else! I had a good night sleep and woke up fresh and ready for the day. Pity, that the weather isn’t that great. It’s been raining since yesterday evening and stopped only for a little while. Anyways, what I wanted to share now, were my impressions of hostel life. It’s the life on max speed – you meet people, make friends and then they’re gone the next day. It’s worse than exchange - if you decide to take a day off, you’re out. Here it’s the same, but then every day comes a new bunch of backpackers and you can start from the beginning and make even more friends. So, the bad impression of the first day is gone after I met some truly amazing people. There is this couple – Canadians, who teach English in Seoul. They’ve been travelling on and off for 5 years now – amazing people! And the stories I heard from them, wow! They made Tibet sound like a heaven on earth, an “India light” as they put it. Which made me really want to go there. An amazing thing is, that the guy is a financier by education and he took a simple English teaching job just to be in Asia and be able to travel. And, he doesn’t miss the finance job!
