Downside

I love to travel. Old places, towns, and buildings fascinate me. I sometimes think I used to be a princess in my past life,mainly because I feel at home in palaces (as if! :D ).

Im happy that I get to do that more often than I used to, but I've realized that there are several downsides to traveling like this as well :

- I've been freezing for 10 days straight now

- Though English is supposed to be a universal language, I've found that I have to communicate mostly by hand signals to get myself understood in most places

- I'm dying to eat rice but can't find any that I can afford (i keep converting the rates to peso and I cant make myself buy it in the end)

- My feet are throbbing from combined cold and fatigue

- My entire body hurts from the long train rides and the long walks around town

But I think a few weeks down the road, all these will be forgotten and all I'll have left are good memories of another dream come true... :)
