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.
