The Trip that will awake your senses (first article in English Class)

Last week I went to the movie theater looking for a comedy which helps me forget the heaviest week I have ever had.  After analyzing the movie posters I decided to watch: "Eat, Pray and Love" based on the fact that Javier Barden is the main character.  But, I must confess, the movie really surprised and inspired me to write about three amazing countries: Italy, India and Indonesia, representing the activities: Eat, Pray and Love.

So, in this article I intend to describe a trip which starts in Roma where you will find the most delicious food, continues in Nova Delhi, a place I recommend to meditate and find yourself and finish in Bali, the exotic place where everything can happen, including the possibility of finding love.

Roma is a very interesting city, not only because its confused roads which follows crazy directions (never straight) but also by the delicious food including pasta, pizza, a variety of cheese and ice cream and mainly the vines.   Cheese and vines are my favorite food and going to Roma you will find around the city different cheese factories and vineyards open to the visitors.   I strongly recommend to rent a small car in Roma and spend 2 or 3 days eating cheese and drinking vine in these places while you enjoy the beautiful view of the vineyards and a long "tertulia" with local people.


Next destination is India.  

Despite the fact that Nova Delhi is the craziest city in Asia, this is the perfect place to find yourself.  In Nova delhi there are many meditation schools called "ashram"  which give people a silent place with a pray program that will help you in the spiritual search.   These programs usually are all inclusive, I mean, you will not find a five star hotel, but, certainly, you will have a place to sleep and enough food to maintain yourself healthy.

After you have increased your weight in Roma and have found God in Nova Delhi, you are finally prepared for Bali.  
Can you imagine a place with the perfect combination of forest, blue crystal oceans, big mountains, white sands, sweet flowers smell mixed with the incense aromas, that is the description of Bali, a place created by God to take vacations in the summer and which beauty and peace inspire you to look for the love in all its forms: friendship, love by nature and by yourself.
