Last night we arrived to Osaka very tired, went right to the hostel (couldn’t find any couchsurfers for the first couple nights) and collapsed. Despite the tiredness, I couldn’t fall asleep. Well, the guy on the next bed snoring might …

It’s becoming harder and harder to be a tolerant person and have understanding for cultural differences. It’s been a bit easier in Omkareshwar, but Khajuraho is a real challenge. I can get used to the filth and mess – I …
