Excellent post my friend, your quest for freedom took you far and wide and although you had to fight for that freedom with the visa police I still believe you are stronger wiser and freer.
Being free from addiction is my next big one, I have kicked all my habits except one, sugar, for some reason I can't seem to stay away from the sweet stuff.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your nice comment Mark. If we pass by in Portugal next year, i will bring you 5 kilo of homemade raw cane sugar. That's on the Indian "advised food" list, lots of minerals. If that's your only one, i would say you do very, very good.
Thank you @bubke yes I have heard of this raw cane sugar, I think my friend had some once, is it really dark with a strong taste?
