So i just finished my time at labri.
it was an awesome time. i learnt so much, just by talking with people, and everyone challanging principles i've assumed were fact my whole life. anyway thats just the short of it. i will be going back there.
but i stayed with Peter and Margot for one night, possibbly the best night of my life. i had all meals provided. everything i needed. washed and ironed clothes. if anyone had a shred of hope to be good at hospitality, they should model it off of them. they cooked marvolous meals, bought me a train ticket, soap, shaving cream andfood for the train trip. plus some extra money for singapore. oh my goodness...
anyway, labri was good. i got my trains there good, then the bus dropped me in the middle of a village in the swiss alps. i had no idea where it was. so i just started walking...eventually i came across this one person who asked me if i was for labri? john. it was just by sheer chance that i saw him though. so he took me in.
once there i settled in to my basement room. i stayed there a total of 9 nghts.
the food there is amazing. they pump you full of good quality food. i suppose it was an ideal of shaffer to have good hospitality. i like seeing that flourish onto the existing labris today. also the sense of community at first can be overwhelming just because everyone knows each other, but after a while you find your niche and just set it there. i spoke aot to a women named robbyn. we spoke over a lot of issues and she challanged me heaps. it was really good. just about feminisim, etc etc...
so an average day is waking up at 8am, having breakfast, then cleaning up, then going to either study or work. study is whatever you want to do in farrel house. studying a book, listening to a tape. work was good also. you can do anything from chopping up wood, or just sweeping.
then theres the lectures. which are either the most boring thing in the entire world, or fascinating. depends who does it.
i fell down pretty sick at labri with a fever. we hitchiked down to aigle to use the internet, then on the way back it took us so long to get a hitch i just got sick from standing in the rain for so long.
after the sickness, i was good to hang out with people. it sucked that it was on my first few nights there. oh well...
anyway...it was good.
now im stuck in luzern with no place to stay and no contact for tiffany...fun fun fun...i just hope it doesnt get too late or im gonna start getting a bit cold ya know...
peace.x
