One of the best epic hairy-gay-rock songs of all times: Here I Go Again by Whitesnake and it’s even more epic video clip:



Buy yourself a train ticket from southern Sri Lanka to Colombo, from where you have a flight to southernmost tip of India, sit next to an open window of the train, watch palm trees going by, stuck ear phones in your ears, play this song on your iPod – and what you get is a FEELING.

Rice and curry – everyday dish in Sri Lanka, composing of rice (surprisingly) and dhal (curried cooked lentils) and bunch of other veggie stuff like pumpkins, eggplant, coconut goodies, etc.

But if I should at least give a hint of what I’m looking for, I would say this:

Look at that chimp at 2:10 – that is the perfect state of happiness and relaxation. Two words: Peace and love. This is it! And please, spare me your comments about the rest of the movie and correlation with what I’m looking for :-)
