That’s a hell of a trip man. Having Betl spit on you has to be a memory engrained in your brain for life. I can imagine the feeling, I imagine it somewhat like getting chew spit on your face, probably worse than that actually. How did it smell? Lol!
I’ve had an interest in visiting India. This made me still want to go. But definitely not for 3 weeks! Maybe 4-5 days, max.
It’s really sad to think about how some 3rd world countries live/survive. The cow, the cremations, etc...man, some people have no idea.
Great story bud. Looking forward to one on a brighter note ;) But life isn’t all roses.
Hey bud, yeah the betl deal just stuck with me over the years. I think it was the understanding between myself and the man that made it a checkmark in my mind. It was unfortunate that it happened but he was as compassionate as he could be in that moment. It smelled horrible im sure lol.
My total time spent in India was 7 months so there are many more stories coming from this region but I think for the next post I will shift the mood to upbeat. I was going through my files and this section of travels really pulled at my strings and made me want to write. Happier writing on the horizon haha.
much love amigo
