I feel quite silly and humbled right now, as I
totally didn't think of this. OF COURSE the OP should have the chance to learn from his experiences or mistakes. The only way to learn is to dive in head first.
OP, please accept my sincere apology as I feel I came off as rude.
Please, have a wonderful experience regardless of the dose you take. I will be sending all possible love, energy, and prāna in your direction and I very much look forward to your trip report.
Disregard what I said about this being wasteful. The OP will decide whether this is true or not in time, as he should. My input here is of no import.
Shambles, THIS is why you were (and in my mind still are one of the best) staff members here. I would snuggle up tight with you any day. It bummes me out to no end that you live halfway across the globe. If only I could just shake your hand. <
EDIT - Adrian, no hard feelings. My words were too harsh and I'm sorry.
