Vanakkam!

I survived my first 2 months (at least!) without major complications.

To survive is not a way of life.... one must strive to live and make most of the situation and the resources or lack of.... whatever that means. One must adapt quickly and with boldness.

Happiness makes us beings rooted in gratitude. I am grateful for the sense of humour that the people have generously shared. This is a culture that knows how to laugh and to not take itself seriously, it is a culture that is rooted in gratitude.

"Trust me, its paradise. This is where the hungry come to feed, for mine is a generation that circles the globe in search of something we've never tried before. So, never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite, and never outstay your welcome. Just keep your mind open and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, you know what, it's probably worth it. You hope and you dream, but you never believe that something is going to happen to you not like it does in the movies. When it actually does, you expect it to feel different, more visceral, more real. I was waiting for it to hit me." - The Beach, film
