Today has by far been the most inspiring day I've had here. Kathryn and I went to Mt. Apsan (which I can see out the window from the school I teach at) to do some light hiking and mostly to take the cable car to the top of the mountain. It was gorgeous!!! These are the kinds of things I want to spend my weekends and free time doing.
Hidden from the main path was this buddha and temple. We just kept walking up some stairs and came across this. I've seen things very similar in Hong Kong. But this time I am living minutes from them! This is really amazing. As I was showering this morning I had an emotionally overwhelming feeling of, "Wow, I'm really here!"
I've received the following comment more than once: I didn't really believe you'd ever actually leave NYC and go to Asia. I know it seemed like a giant leap, but I never had any doubts once I first got the idea in my head. It was definitely terrifying, but today was so inspirational that I am regaining confidence that I did the right thing. I feel very light. In the months before I left NYC I was feeling very run down and very stressed. I haven't felt anything resembling stress in almost 3 weeks. It's very refreshing. I've felt many other emotions, sure, but thankfully stress hasn't been one of them.
