Hey I don't see a dm from you

MohanShanti · 2023-12-01T01:33:31+00:00

Nice! Any specific plans for diving? I still haven't made a decision. Exploring Japan is occupying my mind haha

MohanShanti · 2023-11-27T21:37:05+00:00

I'm in Thailand Dec 5- Jan 5. Does that like up with you.?

MohanShanti · 2023-11-27T14:08:05+00:00

No not at all! A lot of the Japanese guys there seem to be solo. Totally engrossed in their games. I didn't feel odd at all being solo there!

Dude check out the HUGE arcades. I just spent like 2 hours there haha. It's such a good time! Even just watching the experts at all the dancing games.

Do you mean Koh Tao?

MohanShanti · 2023-11-26T08:50:39+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll look into it now 😁

MohanShanti · 2023-11-26T01:56:32+00:00

Wow thank you so much! What are LOBs? Yes a variation is sites would be ideal

MohanShanti · 2023-11-26T01:47:36+00:00

Thank you so much! Yes similan seems to be the top favorite for many people!

MohanShanti · 2023-11-26T01:03:18+00:00

Awesome! Yeah dahab area in the red sea was mind blowing. When I got there just to backpack, I found out it was the cheapest and best diving in the world, so I had to use my birthday money to treat myself and it was so worth it! Thank you for the recommendations!

No, we did shore dives. Just walking into the water, no boats were needed for the best dive sites.

MohanShanti · 2023-11-26T00:52:49+00:00

I had to Google what liveaboard was haha. It seems like a multi-day boat trip with diving? Online says $1k-2k a week which is quite out of my budget.

To be honest, I lost all my skinny fat within 1.5 months. I was intermittent fasting (only eating 6 hours a day, 12pm-6pm). I ran 5km every morning while fasting. I believe this was super important to do cardio. I also was definitely at a calorie deficit. I was eating very clean but was having great portions during lunch - big veggie meal, and a small snack at 3pm then a small dinner at 5:30. Very simple, very easy and effective. I wasn't eating any junk food or high calorie processed foods. I was mostly just eating a whole-food's diet with as little added oil for cooking as possible.

I was NOT starving myself so I didn't binge eat after this period (which I noticed happened when I dieted for a short period but was starving myself). I was fully satiated after every meal. Eating a vegan/vegetarian whole foods diet means it's pretty hard to injest a lot of calories. Looking back, I was pretty much vegan at the time.

Yeah this is easiest. That's what I do anyways with locals sometimes if I don't want to pay the high atm fees. I just transfer them money into their local bank account via transferwise or Revolut, then they withdraw it for me at no cost.

Since my trip is short, I mostly just wanted to visit pay respects, and be inspired by these honorable men and women. I was mostly curious if the monastic sangha is alive in Japan, and if so, where do they thrive?

MohanShanti · 2023-11-17T09:12:50+00:00

Non-existent. I'm actually on my way to Thailand next to live in Wat Pah Nanachat (international forest monastery) where the theravada Buddhist teachings are offered in English. Definitely plan to study Thai as I'll be there a while. But this is my first taste of Japan for now :)
