Experiential learning of experiential learnee.

To those who care, or those who don't but have nothing better to do then read my blog here comes the news: I'm back in the UK. This has been caused by a series of unexpected events followed by a series of unexpected events - I am as pleased as I am surprised that I'm writing this from the Lake District. This is due to starting a brand new cushy internship for a Lakes based expedition company.

I have left India in a positive state of mind and learnt the following (list is inspired by the amazing post of Andy Kirkpatrick): Why experiential learning? Because many of these were reinfornced/reached by adventures out there.

Here comes:

1) Makaks are pricks.

2) Langurs are lovely, but can be pricks.

3) Don't take selfies - it looks stupid.

4) Don't let people take selfies with you if they only do it because you're white - its stupid.

5) Don't let people make coffee based just because they say they can (ADELA!!!).

6) Time is limited - be productive.

7) Being productive does does not mean not having a minute to sit down.

8) Think what you stand for, and stand for it.

9) Appreciate your family (if you're as lucky as I am, and have a rather lovely one).

10) When in a shit creek, just keep swimming.

11) Feelings; the ones that matter are rarely uncovered.

12) "Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work." (ripped off Aristotle).

13) Don't be a sheep.

14) Me time is important.

15) Drugs are bad. Drink is bad. 

16) Bad things in moderation are fine.

17) Do what you believe in, or don't.

18) Appreciate not everyone does what they love.

19) Riding a moped is easy - if breaks, lights and horn work and you're not on a mountain road.
