Four months and twelve days...

I spent one day sick, the full works. Didn't want to do it by halves seeing as when was the next opportunity I was going to get to be sick in India?!

Then I spent a day recovery reading about buddhist philosophy (learning compassion). Relaxed for most of it, drank a bit and went to bed fairly early. Experience is one thing. But it's still being sick after all.

Then today I awoke to a fresh clear head, a healthy hungry feeling stomach and a body of adequate temperature.

Thank goodness for that. I really didn't want to go into the meditation retreat sick.

So i am feeling all good right now and that is how it will stay! (o;

But being sick is cheap - you can get by on like 50c a day seeing as you only need (and want) water! Maybe that's the true way to travel budget?
