The Traveler

Woke up at noon, exactly 12pm. Wow! What a long sleep, since 3;45am. Had this long dream which I could barely remember. Here it goes:

I have arrived a country where natural resources are still abundant but development is very poor. I think it is in the forest of Africa or the Amazon. I arrived by boat or train with a group of coursemates here for a study tour. When it was time to leave, I told my group that I have decided to stay behind for a few weeks to months. I wanted to stay here to learn how to survive in this harsh environment like the villagers here do. I felt a bit of sadness as I said these as I know I wont be seeing my friends for quite some time. I really felt that staying was the right thing to do as I really don't feel like going back. Maybe this is a dream sign that in my real life, I am always trying to find a way to get far away from my university problems.

So my friends left. Then, somehow I managed to get a speed train ride to city in possibly Taiwan. I gave up immediately in living in the village and boarded the train. The train was really fast and I arrived to that location earlier than my friends. Turns out my coursemates' next field visit is here too. I went around and explored a historical site. Looks like some temple ruins. The most amazing thing of all is that I watched the sky as it turns cloudy. It was the coolest phenomena I have ever observed. The sky was blue as usual then dark clouds appeared covering the sky. Within seconds, the sky is really dark now and ready to rain, I wondered how amazing that I get to watch this phenomena with my own eyes. Usually it take hours for the sky to darken.
