Ah heck yeah, that sounds fun. Maybe you can find some cool artifacts by poking around the ruins. A metal detector could help.
Travel heals on another level. Getting into a new environment stimulates something spiritual. I started getting my woo woo ideas in China - the change was so much that I went into a kind of rapid learning mode that I've only seen in basic training. Like, you get there kinda dumb and retarded, and the regimen and stress force you to learn 100x faster than normal - same effect happened in China. But I think it's more than that materialist explanation - its a reorganization on a higher level. And the effect is, your spirit leads the healing process.
it's important to be conscious of it though... going to new places is a major trigger... starting relationships is another trigger... having a severe illness is another trigger, they all put you into that "clean slate" state and it's really important to be aware of it because there are people out there who when they spot you in this state will try to lure you into their little "brave new world" and send you to hell for another decade...
Brave new world? Sounds like a story is involved. I learned to avoid other Americans and British. Both have some kind of envy complex going on, and its only a matter of time until it pops up and ruins things.
i have too many stories of being pulled into nightmares
