I REALLY enjoyed the wonderful stories shared by James Pricer and Earl; the latter threatened to bring a tear to my eye. So uplifting.
I too was unable to read the ticket–hadn’t stopped to think. Of course, it wa written in Japanese.Though we didn’t need to see the ticket to believe you, it was fun to see–what a great souvenir.

Seems to me that you have DIFFERENT expectations, not lowered!

That’s an awesome story Earl! And you’re right, now that my expectations are lowered, everything’s gravy. I almost don’t mind sitting in this dirty plastic chair at a dirty internet cafe getting a bit of work done. :)

Now that your expectations have been lowered, you will be able to enjoy them being exceeded from this point forward!

Three years ago when I was in Delhi, I had my wallet pickpocket one night and lost everything. I wandered into a small shop that advertised overseas phone calls and asked if I could make a phone call home and pay him the next day once I received a money transfer. Not only did he allow me to make the call, but this shop owner refused to let me leave without taking 500 rupees to pay for food and my hotel that night. His generosity greatly exceeded any of my expectations…and in the five times I’ve been to Delhi since, I’ve visited this guy each time and a friendship has been formed.

A friend once told me “The best things in life are unexpected – because there were no expectations.”

If you cell works use it ; if it doesn’t don’t . If the internet connection works use it; if it doesn’t don’t. If you done everything you possibly can to make all your techy stuff work and it doesn’t it’s ok. Go explore! Go live! Go see everything!

The internet will be here when you get connected again.
