Just returned from visiting the Polynesian islands. Easter Island is the one that stands out. Experience the simple life, untouched by modernization, in its resplendent majesty.
The island is a veritable sanctuary of peace and harmony.

Thanks, my brother. Amazing it was. The population is less than 9000. There are no factories, no manufacturing plants. Most of the food stuff comes from the mainland Chile and they grow some fruits and vegetables.
We spent three nights. Waking up to my morning yoga and meditation is simply indescribable.
On my return flight, I sat beside an archaeologist who is a native Rapa Nui. Only a few of them are around anymore. She told me that she’s currently working on a project with a university in England. Archaeological findings show a strong connection between the original Rapa Nui people and the people from the Indus Valley in north of India.
