my 10th day in bali

Today is my 10th day in Bali. So far I have:
- attended 12 yoga classes

- had a total of 6 hours of massage

- found places that sell second hand books and got all my reading material trading through them
- never visited a single tourist attraction such as the palace, elephant forest, kecak dance etc

- met and exchanged with a lot of really interesting and fun people

- not disposed a single pet bottle. Kafe sells purified water and I get daily refills.

- created such small amount of litter that wouldn't even fill a soup bowl (I know because my garbage hasn't yet been emptied)

- become quite skilled in washing my laundry by hand in the sink

- spent less than I budgeted

- used taxi only once on a very rainy evening, otherwise used my feet as the only mode of transportation

- adopted the habit of taking my footwear off whenever I'm entering a room, shop, etc

- developed a curious interest in vipassana

- attempted to “stay in the present moment” 30,467 times and failed 30,468 times

- felt happy, satisfied and blessed everyday

    Analitik dusunen biri blogunu okuyunca soyle oluyor: 30467 ne ola ki? 10 gun x 24 saat x 60 dakika? Yok, bu degilmis. 30467/60? bu da olmuyor. Allah allah neresinden uydurmus bu rakami!!!
