First, let me assure you there are no judgements intended in this post. I am enjoying myself thoroughly and will simply point out some baffling experiences I have had in this wild and beautiful country.
When I read on the website about the retreat that internet and laundry were included, I assumed that meant wireless and a laundry service. How naive I am! My internet is a 10 ft. cable that snakes into my window and runs across the floor. There is a washing machine we can use but the drying racks are unique. Check out the lawns and hedges below. I also know what the large buckets are for in the bathrooms...most of us hand wash our duds and hang them on the topiary hedges. I works very well.
We all have keys to our rooms that are as large as keys to a castle door. Most of the keys open numerous doors...security, or the illusion of? It all seems to work.
To a taxi driver, a 10 minute wait for a ride means an hour. Time is part of the flow here. When you make an appt. it might happen or not...no worries.
The contrast of the beautiful sari clad women, live honeysuckle braided in their hair moving serenely through the chaos of the city is visually stunning. The colors they wear are gorgeous, wearing sparkling jewelry and glittering fabric as they step around the trash amid the honking cars and smells.
Our table napkins are freshly washed every day. They are washcloths that have Sponge Bob, cute kitties, doggies and other patterns on them. Very absorbent and always a surprise.
