Bakso
12days was little bit too long for me to stay here. I did nothing but drink and sing some songs and mostly smoke everyday and night. Its a pretty place if I got into to some Bakso's thing “skill” like meditation, yoga or making accessories. Quite a lot of people do those things and stuck in Bakso for months. But my first intention of staying here was to just drink for 4 to 5 days before I go to Varanashi. I had some real fun there and gave up on going to Varanashi which I now regret quite a lot. But can you actually plan which you never regret??? My answer is no. And this time is also on one of a situation that I felt regret... I am now in Delhi and waiting m flight which in two more days and thinking back about Bakso and imagine up about Varanashi. Well, I have to go on with it.
Bakso is a little town with many travelers who practicing skills for their lives. It is really easy to stuck there and do the days. I was staying a home stay and the family was nice but the accommodation itself was bit boring. Nobody was there when I got there. I arrived this town with Elyse and Lore but we split where we stay. They were doing some accessory course and each day they had something new that they made. I should have done that course as well. After couple of days of drinking and jamming, Med, Coleen and a german guy “I am so shit with names...” they moved into the home stay we hanged out together. Med plays guitar well so we get along well.
Long story in short, in Bakso, I had a pretty simple life style.
In a morning, wake up and practiced juggling.
Go down to any of cafe in town, eat and smoke. Its a really small town so that its easy to find friends.
Couple of hours later, we changed the cafe and have some chai and smoke in the other place. Most of the time, we go to see movies.
Couple of hours later, we talk about where we go for dinner.
Dinner and jam session. Wasted and sleep.
Lore has amazing voice. During the jamming, sometime she made audience stunned. We made a song but its never been recorded. Hope to do in Belgian...
I never took any photo until the last day that I regret as well...
I should have stayed in Daramka as well, if I knew that I would stay that long... Its a smaller town just cross the valley.
Well, the 12days was like that. Now I have to wake up from the laziness and get active. I am heading to London, one of the busiest and expensive town in the world. I am so looking forward to it. Got myself a job, ticket to a festival and meeting an old friend knows me from Australia that I really want to talk about travel.
I am ready for EU.
Delhi
Actually, I quite liked it. People told me about all sort of stories about Delhi weather, hustle and craziness but I did enjoy staying there. Come down from cold Bakso life, the heat in Delhi was extremely hot and dried. People were more aggressive and the population was massive. But the little ally for shopping, the food and the insanity of the town get me really excited about there. I didn't travel much but lots of shopping for jewelry. There are lots of places for shopping and they are so cheap!!! Everyday, I walked around the little allies and negotiate with sellers, had some chat and eat street food. The guest house was bit horrible but can't complain about one of the cheapest place in Delhi. I suffered through the night the most that I woke up with this heat. Wet my sarong, watered my room and took shower every hours to let me have good sleep. I stayed in Delhi for 5 days but I really enjoyed it. Then I took a flight to UK with lots of stuff and full of excitement.
