Hey friends and family! It has now been 2 months since we leftt home for Fiji and we are officially in it. We like to say we are in it to describe this backpacker lifestyle thing we are living. Being "in it" is different than most typical lifestyles.
Here is a poem written By Jordan entitled:
We're in it
Day four into Fiji, sleeping among lizards, sand and bunk beds, backpackers all around
We're in it
Where are you from, how long are you travelling, where are you going
We're in it
What is this bump, I am soooo sweaty, do you think this rash is something to be worried about
We're in it
You mean I have to pee in that, where's the toilet paper, watch your feet
We're in it
No I don't need transport, not now, not later, not tomorrow, but terima kasih
We're in it
What is that smell, I might throw up, did a bird really just fall from the sky and hit us dead
We're in it
All of my clothes are wet and stinky, I am sick of wearing that, can we go shopping
We're in it
These backpacks are so heavy, we need to get rid of stuff, why did we pack so much
We're in it
I don't want to buy one, not for your morning price or for good luck, I know it's only a dollar but it's ugly
We're in it
Cars, planes, bikes, buses, boats, mo-peds, vans, but mostly blistered, stubbed and bloody feet
We're in it
What's the meaning of life and death and differences in realities, what really is the color green
We're in it
I hope you enjoy this poem and it makes you laugh as much as it makes us laugh. Travelling is funny (actually hilareous), it is always a new adventure and ever exhausting and challenging. We are having way too much fun (despite a fierce sunburn thatI have from trying to surf on the equator). In three days we will be saying goodbye to Bali. We have learned so much here and we will take away a piece of this place in our hearts. But new adventures await. Talk to you later....from Bangkok!
