Actually. Now three months have elapsed since the beginning of our school trip and we have completed the chapter on Southeast Asia in order quasi -. Is from the soon-to-glass-half-empty perspective, is the uncanny bad, since this is already the fourth of the scheduled time. On the other hand, we can both remember any recent three months of our lives so focused new, impressive, are worth seeing, but also depressing and frightening brought with it. We are concerned as to whether we would have the fullness of the indenter has a whole year on the road. Impressions are not from TV or other media that have been affected by the x-th hand, ago but experienced. The brain and the senses are working positively tingling way in full swing. The learning curve as you look at the different circumstances and while serving as contrasts to day problems and was best adapted in this regard extremely steep. Certainly one can be without this experience just like that, but now, because we have tasted the fruit of the soul very tasty "independent intensive long journey", We know that we missed the beginning of the journey to something very fundamental aspect of the manifold next to the natural beauty of this earth. On the one hand to witness first hand how to organize the vast majority of people beyond our Western reality, adjusts, Despite all the odds and find his way frequently acts much happier than we were. Secondly, the feeling to feel completely free as far as possible and to act well so. That, of course, that feeling in a double sense only on the basis of our previous, more or less self-chosen way of life (professional, very unfree Rat-Race and appropriate financial compensation to the right place really is a lot of money) possible, us is perfectly clear.
Of course, within this framework, we had the romantic idea of one or another phase. But two minutes later discarded, of - Let us have nothing against - this with our financial resources would be most likely final. Because once you get into the spiral of the local currency, that is, the local currency to local standards and wage levels (Southeast Asia consists almost entirely of low-cost countries) deserves, has very likely due to the traveling and living with the freedom guaranteed settled once and for all. Although we see, above mentioned briefly, days here, despite the odds every day really happy and satisfied people, However, we are closing the access to this happiness, that is primarily founded on simple deep-rooted family values. Our emotional foundation, by western trained to, enlightened wealth Socialization, based on continuous material competition and self -, was not affected by these three months in any event. We could not be satisfied with this "simple" happiness. We know (yet) not whether it is personal for us, good or bad. We only know, that neither our previous performance levels, still lived here we would put any content on its own. The most likely, will be trivial-sounding way it will live to be a balance between the two aspects.
After the first three months here, we would be well with the state in (very opportune) Balance are: A working and living in central western prosperity and so often it's the money that was earned there to spend in Southeast Asia. At some point if it has prepared itself, evtl. should live completely relocate to South East Asia.
Oops. That is something new gaaaaaanz!
Na ja, babbled enough. We still have three quarters of the time and several continents before us. Next time when we will report here this is from Down Under. High Cost Country - Hooray!?
