“It is Wednesday around 7.30 or 8 o’clock here in the afternoon. I had a difficult day today. The only good part was that I got your letter. Although I couldn’t stop crying when you were talking about dolphins and medusas and seals … … ‘one-two-three’ &...

I advise you to roll your eyes once now in order to spare yourself from having to later, as this is a classic “wow, I travelled and learned so much about myself” moment of reflection. Though I suppose my lessons have nothing to do with the big, philosophical questions about life, unless ...
