Iceland was beautiful. Fortunately for me, I only saw a tiny portion of it therefore I will have to return in the future. My addiction to travelling became stronger than ever. If I saw the whole of Iceland, I might not return and it would be a complete travel overdose. I am so excited about the places in Iceland I will visit in the future.
Here are a couple of other entries in my journal.
Travelling gave me a free-spirit mentality. A free spirit mentality was so important in a place like Iceland to make the most of the time there. Personally because I don’t really drink, I am often recipients of drinks. Fully aware of my negative drink karma stacked against me (Karma should not be messed with), the equilibrium could be restored by offering a round of drinks for the fellow travellers. Hopefully, they will redistribute their drinks karma on their travels eventually world order can be restored. The free spirit mentality gave me possibly, just possibly a free beer in Israel. One could say that would be a long way to get a “possibly” free beer and I would agree with that statement too. Would it be worth it? How long is a piece of string? What is inside the box? I would just have to find it out.
I noticed that a lot of gear I carried was never used. The first aid kit. It was a good idea at the time of packing two years ago. But was I jinxing myself that I might need it? How useful would that first aid kit be? I thought about all the injuries I could deal with. The ones that my First Aid kit that couldn’t would probably be a bit painful. Therefore the kit is now replaced by a bottle of whisky. Whatever injury sustained, it will make it or myself feel better. This would also support my free-spirit philosophy as described above.
The other piece of kit that never see much action were my Tibetan Peace Flags. It was blessed by a dude and some other dudes. It had been in my backpack ever since the trek in Annapurna, Nepal. I might have lost some braincells to high altitude sickness but everything seems to be alright now. I might have lost my religion but I gained faith. Keep faith and travel safe. That has to stay in my bag.
Next move. Already made for the London 2012 Olympic Games. Chess is about being a few moves ahead which I think I am. But I am not sure ahead of what.
