Livin the Torii Life

I didn’t have that high expectations for my last day in Kyoto. I was just looking forward to pedalling around and then heading to a vegan place for lunch. I’d been told I had to go to Japan’s number one tourist attraction, Fushimi Inari-taisha,  that in itself lowered my expectations to almost nothing! I started …

I know personally periods, and my menstrual cycle are not something I have given enough attention too - despite doing so much active learning about my mental and physical health - especially in the last decade - but aside from acknowledging I’d be a little more emotional ‘for no reason,’ or crave chocolate that little bit more I was so blasé about it all and in all honestly tried to fight against it. I think I only allowed myself to accept PMS was a thing in my early 30s. And only in the last couple of years did I even both tracking my cycle (with an app.) After being on the pill on and off for decades, then not even having one for 6 months after coming off it entirely, I paid my menstrual cycle almost no attention.
In 2005 I got a chunk of money back after paying Emergency Tax without realising. So, I did the sensible thing & went to SE Asia for 6 weeks - to Laos, Cambodia & Vietnam for the first time. They have changed so much since - whether this is good or bad is not for me to say, there are so many variables/issues - but, I am SO grateful to have visited when it was a little less on the backpack track - so many funny memories & terrible, terrible hostels - being on a night bus in Laos trying to wedge myself into the back row so I didn’t fall on to the guy in the middle of the aisle on a plastic stool with an AK47 is a stand out memory 🤣 it’s crazy - I have almost no photos - before smartphones & just rocking up a hostel hoping they’d have a bed, every few days finding an Internet cafe to tell parents we were ok. In Luang Prabang we rented a little apartment & had a cocktail party on the terrace 😂 (in reality two bare rooms with a few beds - cocktails being local beer - still, it felt fancy...) Spent my birthday scuba diving with Black tip sharks off Koh Phi Phi - not that long after the Tsunami, so the island was only small huts and rebuilding itself from the devastation 💔 (still I managed to get lost one night walking home on the ONE road...) South East Asia is breathtakingly beautiful full of amazing friendly people - with an incredibly interesting, but often very tragic history. So grateful for every moment I’ve spent there & hope one day to go back. 🇱🇦 🇰🇭 🇻🇳 🇹🇭
Happy Birthday Rambu! You absolute incredible human - one of my total rocks - always cheering me on, lifting me up, inspiring me in what you say and what you do, and just you being you - influencing me!! Hehe. Thanks for the birthday FIIT class... Love you so much & missing you from the other side of London!! Have a fabulous day & can’t wait to see your face and adventure again... 🥰💖💎🌏 @chaosrach

Happy Birthday my super awesome amazing SOM twin! 👁 I miss talking over you, and being talked over. I miss finishing each other sentences, talking about everything ever.
