The discovery of English speaking white people . . .
I got the 10rupee bus up to Mcleod ganj where I am doing my yoga, and asked, later to find out called Karen a 40yr old American living in Israel, I go 'do you speak English' in a desperate plea. This woman was my savour. I got a lovely big clean room, and settled straight away into chilling in coffee shops, I'm the new lover of ginger and honey tea, and speaking to lots of English people. It was such a relief. Karen had had a similar experience to me but in Delhi. The thing is I had an amazing time with the Indian couple, they thought I was funny coz I was taking photos of the cows and I got excited when the fog cleared and I could see the view, I was very excitable.
The days are really long here you can do so much, so I had a shower, bought essentials like razor and shower gel and got all cosy.
I went to my first hatha yoga class at 4.30. Eee I just had no idea what I was expecting and got three giggle fits during the class, firstly you hum after each inhale, well I couldn't hum long enough, then at the end when you relax he sings ' relax, relax your ankle joint' and makes his way up the body, but tells me to relax my heart and lungs, but I would die if that happened, I never want my heart to relax, and to relax my chestbreast! and then his 'your' got longer and longer followed by long pauses as he thought of the name of the body part, so that made me laugh. To finish you do a weird hyper ventilating thing which had me in hysterics as I kept snorting and got all light headed. So it was tough though and I was a bit, ohI've got a month of this, but to be fair I wasn't the worst in the class.
I spent the majority of my day with Karen or Sarah and had a beer with them both at tea, oh sweet sweet beer. xx
