don't go kanha

kanha, don't go. but u don't have to take my advice. it's an opinion.

it's just not the right time. i think timing has a lot to do with this, despite impulses. feelings do say something, but at the same time, reality says another. thought this may seem like a calling and it may seem like the only time. it's not. something better will come. it will.

two weeks is a minimum for southeast asia. one week is suitable for canada or chicago or the east coast or the carribean islands. lol. alrite. maybe not the last. but yes, u will come back regretting the fact that u started urself out with such a small amount of time and money. u will come back only "partially" satisfied and almost crazily miseraable with money matters and the fact that this was not a well-planned trip. not all trips need to be crazily planned or anything but it's no doubt evident that one week is less than sufficient for going to a place that matters soo much to who u are and what all this means to u.

if ur purpose for going there is to inhale the essence of all that it is in connection to u and ur history, one week will be a mere illusion to ur purpose.

with one week, consider urself a disneyland visitor who's just roaming around the admissions box area. u barely made it into the entrance. consider it that.

i hope that helps...my two cents are just two cents. =D so let us know what ur final call is. =)

p.s. when is the next time that u'll be going to SEA? the winter of 2006. when will we go to Cuba? the spring break of 2007 =) by then both Dina, and YOU and a few of the other berkeley blog circles can afford a REAL trip. and it's enjoyable when ur there with the ppl whose company u enjoy best. at least that's what i learned through my trip, though i met great ppl, it's just not the same as biting heads off and resolving to warm laughter with ur special circle of frends. =D
