Greetings all,
I have returned last Saturday from my vacation. I was in Cambodia for 3 weeks and then spent 3 weeks in Vietnam. It's been a week since I have been back but I am still experiencing jet lag and feel rather tired. I had a good experience but Vietnam and Cambodia are not countries I would want to return to. I learned a bit about their cultures. They had some differences and some similarities. For me, the people of these countries are definitely racist in my mind. In Canada, we are so multicultural but in these countries, I stick out because I am white and for those in certain industries, they just think we white people have so much money. Many tuk tuk drivers or motobike drivers try to take advantage of tourists and many retailers are always trying to sell you something and are extremely annoying.
Just because I have money to fly and visit your country, doesn't mean I have money to burn. I was on a budget and had to respect that. I didn't have a job so I don't have money coming in. Greed is everywhere in the world.
The weather was hot and humid and when I came back home, it was cold. I really hated the heat and humidity but I think I hate the cold more. I am rather tanned and I think at some point in my life, I am going to leave this cold Canada to where it is warmer year round. I know for me, I am tired of the cold.
I have to find a new apartment now and am starting school in a couple of weeks. I am taking economics and signed up for calculus but the summer session is shorter and I think calculus is basically like a year class, I may drop it and take prep courses for math as I am a bit out of practice when it comes to math.
I also feel rather out of practice with my kundalini yoga. I didn't do much yoga while traveling and now I find it hard to get back into a regular discipline and meditation. I am also feeling depressed. Not quite sure why but hopefully things will get better for me and that I get back into meditating.
