August 1st

I slept well because of the long trip from Japan. In the morning, a manager at the retreat was not there, so I asked one of the staff about the hot shower. He checked and confirmed it was broken….Fortunately, he is super nice and let me use the hot shower in another room. Thank God …. You have no idea how grateful you are to use the hot shower!!

After that, I was bored and didn’t want to eat breakfast at the retreat. I went out for chai. I went to a cafe on my friend’s recommendation.

It was good except for a ton of mosquitos! I got so many mosquito bites….

At the cafe, I met a guy from Chile. We talked a bit and he told me about a waterfall close to my retreat, also his trip in India. It was interesting and nice to have some company at a meal.

I went to the organic store I went to yesterday to get something for mosquito bites. A staff at the store recommended tree oil. I bought it.

To be honest with you, I don’t think it worked lol But it smells great.
