Patience is a virtue.....
I always think that travelling reminds you of three important things:
Patience, your abilty to really challenge yourself and the reminder that the world is overwhelmingly full of the most amazing people. The hardest reminder of the three is of course patience.
When will this local bus leave? When it is so crammed with people it might burst.
when will the young beggar take his head of my foot desperately needing money? When he sees someone who looks more likely to give.
When will this traffic jam end, as I have been sitting on a local bus for almost five hours with little progress? When the lorry that has crashed way ahead is cleared.
When will I get served at this post office? When I manage to stop everyone pushing in front of me.
Will I be able to start my Lhasa trip tomorrow? Only if my visa comes back from the Chinese embassy today.
Where is my breakfast of poached eggs, porridge and lime tea? Oh must dash the waiter is bringing a tray over to my table now :)
