I feel the earth move
There was an earthquake yesterday around 5pm in Delhi (I think? maybe Indonesia). I was laying in bed in my hotel, preparing for a reiki treatment that evening, when I felt the bed start to move like a big truck was going by. Then I realized there are no big trucks in Laxsman Jhula, and the motion was sustained for a whole minute or two. I looked over and saw the water in my water bottle sloshing back and forth, so I ran outside and asked my friend from California, did you feel that?
Every hair on my body was standing on end, and the surface of the Ganga looked very strange. So I ran back into my room, threw my passport/credit cards/cash and water in my bag and ran out of the building. That's when the hotel manager got kind of condescending and told me it was probably just construction, he even patted me on the shoulder. I'm totally going to go tell him I was right when I check out.
Which is only in a couple hours! I decided to go to Dharmasala, taking an overnight bus there around 4 today. I also booked my transit back to Bombay, since I have only five days in Dharmasala before I have to head back for my Thailand flight. So strange that my time in India is almost over; two months was nowhere near enough. I got the ten-year visa this time, so I know I'll be back, perhaps for six months next trip.
