Psychotic people believe that two and two make five; neurotic people know that two and two is four – but they can’t stand it.
I can feel that the end of my journey is coming closer. It feels right to be in Portugal soon. After breakfast, Max and I left for the Kapan Monastery, where an ATM is just at the gate.

He withdrew some money and walked down towards the town. It is always very noisy with all the bikes, trucks, and cars. I appreciate the silence at the Green Mandala Inn. Max was buying some things in a small shop. Before we walked back, we stopped at a small Restaurant for a chai.

We slowly walked back to the Green Mandala Inn on the dirty road. I found time to read and write for a while before we met again for lunch. Gopika was messaging me, she said to stay for a while in Tbilisi, Georgia, it would be a nice city. But I booked the tickets for Lisbon already and don’t feel like traveling anymore at this time. Instead, I was looking for tickets from Lisbon to Adelaide, Australia. With Turkish Airlines, I would get a return ticket for the end of November for around €1140. That’s pretty good, I want to buy the ticket in advance this time, not paying so much like now, back to Lisbon, which I booked nine days before the flight. I messaged Andrew in Adelaide in the afternoon. He responded later that he was out on his block of land, and there is a bad mobile connection. We will have a chat the next day. Then I will know what time it suits to buy the ticket.

There was a Tibetan ceremony in the next house here, a lot of chanting and music, several times today. The rest of the day passed by with dinner and chatting with Max. I am reading an interesting book these days, its title is “A Brief History of Humankind” by Yuval Noah Harari, an Israeli historian and philosopher. Its about the rise of Homo Sapiens on this planet.
