Sometimes you just need some time

Yeah, I know it's only been a few hours - but I'm feeling better than I was earlier. I mean, even as I type this out I hope y'all know (that I know) that I haven't even been here a day yet so it's pretty darn early in the trip and that my last post was pretty mopey sounding. And I knew it did - so what did I do? I got off my ass and took a walk

Pretty cool. It's always neat to see other cultures and how they live and such. Lets you know how simple life should be at times (depending on where you are in this world). Have a good time and come back safe!

Thanks buddy!

I like the initial excitement of being totally lost in a new place but I've only ever done that in the Western world. It must be a bit of a headfuck to experience that kind of culture shock. I hope you're enjoying it though.

yeah, headfuck is a good way of putting it. At the same time there is something beneficial about experiencing what it's like to be the total and absolute minority in any given situation.

yeah, the guys I'm working with are going to take me for some Indian food I "can handle" this weekend. I was going to eat at the office but they told me my stomach probably couldn't handle it!

You know, I wish now that I would have casually invited him to watch TV in my room or something. I mean, would it have hurt to see where it went?

I didn't really get a vibe but how awesome would it have been? :)

Daniel looks so much like Ethan Suplee (Randy on My Name is Earl).

[kingfuraday]

Yeah, a cleaned up version :)

Have a great trip buddy. New Orleans is certainly balmy as well today.
If I were there I'd try to deliver a corny joke to nudge any remaining mopey out and away.

Thanks handsome. I still get a bit of the blues now and then but I just try and keep some perspective and stay focused on the job I'm here to accomplish.
