Decided to move on tomorrow after nearly a week here I think. Still sleeping ridiculous amounts but am recovering. I could easily stay here longer. In fact, most people you meet here are here longterm doing yoga training or meditation retreats or teaching English to monks. I've done a couple of yoga drop in classes with Yogi Sivadas who completely looks the part and is also a very good teacher. After over a month of only walking a lot.. the muscles in the rest of my body are really feeling the yoga! Looking forward to not huffing and puffing so much when climbing staircases.. the first day I got here I thought, Wow I must be really sick if I can't even climb a few flights of stairs without being so out of breath! But then it was pointed out to me that we're at an altitude of something like 2800m so hence the breathlessness!
Descending down to Amritsar near the Pakistan border tomorrow morning via local bus. Should be an interesting trip. Also experienced my first 'video' photo shoot today. Was sitting eating breakfast watching a rotund Sikh man videoing the scenery, then the curtains, then the table.. then he just stood there less than a metre away with his video camera trained on me.
"Uh. Hello."
He then proceeded to sit with us, along with his brother in law, and tell me about his son in Melbourne, show me photos of house, family, and of course pose for the obligatory chummy photos. Gotta love India.
