Traveling in India...



Oum...
(usually it's for the founders of yoga, but this time I'll honor you guys)

Since last mail I've been running back and forth to the toilet every half an hour because of what they in Egypt would call a "jalla"(=hurry)-stomach (don't know what they call it here in India). For a couple of days I was feeling quite bad. My whole body was aching so badly that I could not lay down to sleep at night, and I walked like an eighty year old. I also had this "jalla"-stomach, fever and headache because dehydration and no sleep. Finally I decided I 've had enough of it and went to see a Indian doctor. He gave me a bunch of anti biotic pills which I throw in the garbage once I came home (wow, I've started to cal this "home" already...). I feel quite better now though. :-)

Yesterday night some of us (the yogi's here) went to the beach to shoot some pictures. I've attached a few to give you a taste of how my stay in India has turned out to be. Get ready! They're quite nice. I'm quite good looking, am I not? Look at that leg pointing straight up in the air!!

After practice this morning I went to the market in "Mapsa" (at least that is how they pronounce it) to buy some fruits at the market. Now I'm sitting on the terrace writing you and eating delicious pomegranates, mangos and passionfruits (my absolute favorite!). Isn't life just wonderful?!

I mostly eat fruits and salad. When I'm away from the Norwegian chocolate "det lille stykket Norge...) I'm quite healthy. At least I like to think so.

...pssst...! ...even though my stomach is a bit funny I had a delicious brownie with melted chocolate on top last night. Jummy! ...but don't tell anyone.

Next week on of the world best yoga teachers (David Swenson!!!) is coming. Even though it will be crowded (read: mat touching mat, hot and barely no oxygen) I'm so much looking forward to that workshop!

I'm off to a pranayama (breating) class.
Take air!
