setting off tomorrow for a week really excited :) my first time going , heard people say it's a really life changing experience -very moving. I'll find out when i get there i suppose :) 27 hours on a coach in total - greaatt :| has anyone been before? what did you think? :)
Oh dear...
See, I'm French. My grandma used to be very religious, and mum sometimes had me go there with her as kid....
To be honest, to me it's a load of old tripes, but I suppose to someone who's into it it might have some "meaning".
The town itself, and the area, is quite scenic, but VERY commercial, with thousands of shops selling religious trinklets...
Not somewhere I would go to now, but eh. Have fun.
Absolutley the nursery end ,the pavilion end the media centre the slope the long room everything about the placethe mass of history........whats that you say.....sorry I thought you said Lords
lol , I wont be in a wheelchair - I'll be the one pushing them about!
I'm not really a believer myself ,
just going to help out
it sounded like a good experience - even if i just do it the once! :)
ee, and you never know - my eyesight might be cured
(even though i'm only a tiny bit short sighted)
packing now - need to iron :| the worst thing in the world.
I have been many times. I won't cloud or enlighten your imminent trip with any preconceived notions. Just go and enjoy the experience and make of it what you will. You will see a lot of suffering and hope and faith, which is sometimes mesmering, humbling and even odd.
Just don't partake in any of those sex games like eating a banana between a mans legs or anything, and don't shagging on the beach with any foreign waiters.
Ok, I'm kidding about that bit - there are no beaches. Just go and make the most if it. Bon voyage.
must add my gran visits ofern as shes particularly religious, she got her purse stolen with all of her monies in it.
other than that she met some lovely people and meets with them when there.
My ex girlfriends sister who had had a very bad skin allergy/infection for 7 years went there, and in 3 weeks she was cured after bathing in the water there.
I have an open mind about it, but I have seen the evidence.
