You should have bought a couple of bicycles, they might be further down the pecking order than motorcycles but in terms of travel are up on buses and taxis.

You have to try things for yourself don't you....
I already did know but since I'd never really tried the whole bus/train/taxi thing PROPERLY in a 3rd world country, I couldn't know for sure.
Once can't preach about which mode of transport is better until they've tried them all really...
I'm not stranger to the bicycle. I used to race and tour on them and plan to do so again. With only a month though, it wasn't practical. I did hire plenty of scooters and smaller bikes to zip around the places I was staying which was great fun.
As to estebangc's comment..... I have to agree also. There is a lot of all that hippy and yoga hype about and most of it is totally transparently fake.
People on two week Yoga retreats calling themselves "Moon" and "Starshine" when you just know they're down the pub when they get back swearing at the football..
As all travel... It is what it is to yourself. It's all a state of mind.
