it is all relative. I think it is pretty harsh over here but in a different way.
I have been to Nepal and travelled all over Asia, I felt more at home there than I do here.
There are juice bars in Kathmandu, and a weekly organic fruit and veg market there too...it is predominately vegetarian being a Hindu country.

Hi Lee,
Thanks for responding. Yes I was thinking of Kathmandu to begin with, to find my feet..I loved it there.
It is the different intention, focus of people there, which makes it is an attractive place for me to be, rather than here in the West.
One Guru I know who lives in the Himalayas, came here to England to visit recently and he went to walk around one of our cities one busy Saturday, and he said he didn't see one Soul all day...just empty bodies wandering around...
I can do without electricity, etc etc...I just don't care about that stuff at all... Just to have people who share my intentions and focus on my doorstep, even the language barrier wouldn't bother me, and is easily overcome with a little effort on my part.
I hope you make it over there for your retreat.
Yes there must be a karmic pull, I can't explain the magnetic pull of the place, it has definately got a hold of me right now ;0
Love to you.

yes I appreciate that, and everyone's different, has different tolerances and intolerances, wants and needs...
Maybe I'll set up my own juice bar too, to cater for all my raw friends who will come and visit ;)

Thanks Lee, I appreciate your words so much. I wish the same for you too. And for all sentient beings as the Buddhists have taught me to say ;)

Have you been to or considered India? I will be living in HP province of Nothern India soon. I'll be close to Nepal in the foothills of the Himalayas. I will be attempting to stay raw by eating fruits. I live in Boston now but will leave soon for India. I would be very interested to hear about your traveling experiences in Nepal and Asia. Peace!

I travelled in India before and I prefered Nepal. As soon as we got into Nepal I felt like I was in heaven, it is hard to describe but I just felt at home. It was wierd. I liked India a lot, and if I ever get to live in Nepal then I would be visiting India a lot as there are loads of places there I want to go. Especially the rural areas, I travelled in the cities and towns before.
What made you choose the spot where you are going to live?
How long are you going to live there for and what are you doing about the legalities of living there over a long peroid/permanently?
