An Interesting Book: The Journal of an unknown Hermit recovered in an archeological dig reveals long lost collections of minimalist calligraphy. Composed over the course of the Hermit’s travels through the jungle and countryside of Southeast Asia, a trip that sparks, in its’ creator, a transformative revaluation of the inter-relationship between food and life, eater and eaten, self and other, varieties of being and existence, and physicality and transcendence.

Cette backpackeuse que je ne suis pas.

"Un jour je ferai le tour du monde en backpack" ai-je dit il y a des années maintenant.

Pause.

Si tu ne fronces pas les sourcils en lisant cette première phrase de ce post sorti de nulle part après des années sans alimenter régulièrement mon Tumblr c'est que clairement tu ne me connais pas.

Bullshit aurait ostensiblement soupiré ma version 2010, faisant voler la mèche de cheveux qui cachait la moitié de sa face et ses traits d'eye liner de 2 cm d'épaisseur.

Fast forward a few years to more than a decade later et avec un livret A au solde de 200 euros (en arrondissant au dessus bien entendu), t'as toujours pas réussi à choper le pli. Et pourtant ce n'est pas faute d'avoir essayé. Tu t'es tapée des trajets de bus de plus de 13 heures pour économiser et voyager "comme une vraie" pour finalement t'affaler dans un King size du dernier palace déniché sur booking parce que t'avais une meeeega reduc donc ça valait trop le coup. Et puis ce n'est que pour une nuit.

Au final pour dormir toute une journée parce que le trajet, recroquevillée dans le bus le plus cheap possible, t'a explosée (et pas que mentalement - physiquement tu douilles aussi.. merci la trentaine). Résultat: une journée entière sous la couette, une flemme intergalactique d'en sortir donc une blindax dépensée en room service, un billet de retour repoussé d'une journée et donc repayé vu que t'as pas pu visiter grand chose depuis ton lit.

T'as essayé de jouer la meuf cool en discutant avec une nana qui voyage depuis 6 mois et qui essaie de créer une connivence en te racontant ses histoires de couples dans les dortoirs d'auberge de jeunesse. A hocher de la tête d'un regard entendu quand elle te dit qu'elle a passé l'âge et par conséquent elle va s'offrir enfin une nuit d'hôtel. A lâcher un petit rire compatissant. Alors qu'en soit la seule expérience que tu en as de ces auberges de jeunesses c'est bien celle que tu t'es appropriée en matant 150 Reels de 'solo travelers aventuriers'.

La nana en question te demande ton insta et te propose d'aller prendre un verre, après avoir sympathisé pendant un de ces trajets interminables rythmés par les coups de klaxon de ton chauffeur Cambodgien qui essaie de rattraper le départ retardé de seulement 103 petites minutes en doublant tous les véhicules risquant retarder son arrivée à la frontière Viet. Et tu la vois repartir avec son sac de rando quatre fois plus grand qu'elle, A PIEDS vers son hébergement qui n'est qu'à 30 min de marche.

En vrai 30 min de marche minuit passé, après 8h dans un bus qui sent la transpi, tu l'aurais fait EASY aussi. A condition d'avoir une team de masseuses qui t'accueillent à ton arrivée. Envisageable en soit. T'es en Asie.

Bref tout ça pour dire que non backpackeuse clairement pas. Il ne manquerait plus que tu te fasses des dread, des piercings et des tattoos..

Luang Prabang: In the Stillness of Sounds

What comes to mind when you hear the word "Laos"?  Is it Patuxay, a monument similar to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris? Or the beauty of the Mekong River that flows throughout Laos? Perhaps not even both? We may rarely hear about this country but who would have thought that Laos has what other countries do not have! For me, Laos is the best for a mindfulness journey as it’s the result from the sphere of silence .

I remembered Luang Prabang as a very memorable place. It’s a very old small town, not many people, the atmosphere is very calm, slow paced city, no uproarious loud voices. Located in Northern Laos, Luang Prabang represents spiritual experiences and exotic views. A journey on Luang Prabang soothes the soul and awakes the senses to appreciate the silence. People talking without speaking, hearing without listening. No one dared to interrupt the sound of silence.

Enjoy the peace and quiet away from the constant horn honking but relax with a sunset over the Mekong River. I remember when we climbed Mount Phousi to catch the sunset from the top. The red tinge of the sky and its reflection on the Mekong River is truly soothing to the heart. The girl next to me was smiling watching the sun goes down while listening to the music through her earphone. Other tourists seemed to be hypnotized with the beauty of the sun drowning into the Mekong River. Such a perfect way to feel grateful for this life. 

The next day we woke up before sunrise to see the morning alms ritual. Tak Bat (Morning Alms) is a longstanding tradition in Laos Buddhist culture. It is an act of giving food from the villagers to the monks throughout the street of Luang Prabang. As lines of silent monks glide by to collect offerings, their orange robes in stark contrast to the hazy morning light. This ceremony is undertaken in complete silence. You can’t make loud voice nor talk to the monks. The ritual in silence, It feels like you can communicate without words. You can only speak through the heart. 

There is no denying that we live in a noisy world that is only getting louder. Luang Prabang is the perfect place for people who are looking for peace, calmness, and the meaning of life. You won’t find any fancy restaurants but small stalls that provide you the authentic Laotian foods. The genuine local people who offered you the best hospitality. It’s simplicity but gives you the best serenity.  The memory of Luang Prabang still remains within the sounds of silence.

I dont think people understand how insane it is to live with lizards. Yes they are little guys but they are PESTS. Folks please come to southeast asia and stay in a village for a day. You’ll see what I mean by “they are actually driving me insane”

One time i was toasting bread and i heard a sizzle sound. There was a lizard in the toaster.

One time lizard eggs were in my backpack and i smushed them with my books. Yuck.

One time a lizard shat on my head from the ceiling. 🤠

Also i recently found out in English the lizards are called GECKOS. And i dont mean the cutesey silly geckos NO i mean the ugly ass brown ones that die when you drop a feather on them. We literally have traditional wooden GUNS to kill them with rubber bands as they are such a pest.

Name of the lizard is Cicak. Look it up

Jei Rifni evil rant about lizards.
