Imprints upon my Mind!!

Hi! been away for a while..although I would ve loved to go globe trotting like I usually do in winters...last winter I had the chance to go to Sri Lanka and spend a good about two weeks in the sun, not that we dont have sun here . we have too much of it:) anyways the greenery the beaches the atmosphere and serenity really made my holiday worthwhile.I especially loved the coral beach stay in Hikkadua. Must go there if you get the chance. worth your money and a beautiful holiday. kandy had its own beauty. the greenery was breath taking. it was lush thick and had a unique fragrance. Of all the countries of the world that I have visited so far this country had its own character. Mind you Iam not saying it because I have not been to too many places. Believe me, I am a globe trotter in the real sense. I hate to shop and drop but i love to inhale it all in. The architecture, the character, the way of living, people and their lives. thats my hobby. I am an observer. A painter that paints it all inside their minds and relives in their memories. One more country that I really liked was Prague. The fairy tale character that it exuded was mesmerising. I felt like a princess roaming in their paved streets and old castles. Vienna was colourful.Full of life and vigour and aesthetically appealing. It offered so much for the tourist to see and savour its gourmet. Mmmm..I can still smell the aroma of its coffee in my morning strolls. There was music in the air. The entire city was pervaded with a sense of art and music. one got that over whelming feeling of being a part of that excitement and drama.
Although I loved South of Spain also ..the Mallaga and its neighbouring areas were so beautiful. I just fell in love with the orange groves on the slopes and white pristine villas some what similar to the white architecture in Jordon but mallaga was a touristy place. Calm and serene in winters..teeming with life in summers.the dances and their unique singing tempted me to stand up with them and dance.
However the best part of my longer stays are full of memories in australia and china. Australia was a different experience that cannot be matched with any of my visits to USA or england. its a outback country with a different feel to it. one gets hooked to it in no time. Probably my outdoorsy nature had some thing to do with it. I had so much FUN in real meaning over there. The kangaroos on the road sides, sanctuaries and even the city of darwin and Broome Island and christmas island are the most unique experiences of my life that i ve imprinted on my mind.
China was again another lesson in life. I learnt so much frome there, from its people who are so humble and friendly and so satisfied with whatever they have. Not like us who are always in quest to fill up or homes with artificial things and playing in the hands of fulfilling our false standards. their well kept history amazed me to no end and their castles and museums and art and craft was too overwhelming.
Well.. I can talk on and on abt my travelothons for ages. I guess I would love to share them with you again another time..another experience of yet another city imprinted on my mind. Till then, tc!
