It was bound to happen at some point in time. I've been good during the first month of my travels, but it's finally happened...I lost my first item of belonging : ( I realized it just as I was packing to leave my ayurvedic retreat in Galle.
I lost my towel!!!!! It was one of those fast drying, yet highly absorbent towels (unlike those REI ones that dry quickly because they just don't absorb!) that you don't come across too often. I loved that towel. I was quite devastated by the whole incident. I think I never got it back when I handed in my laundry at the guest house in Kota Kinabalu. I wish I had realized it back then...darn it!
Incidentally, I met a girl in northern Laos who was travelling all the way back to the capital to get her towel back. This was not an option for me since I was about 7 hours away by plane.
Before I left the hotel, I asked them if they'd sell me their towel. They declined, commenting that their towels were imported and not for sale.
Good thing I went to the market before I left Galle and bought one - my hostel the next day didn't provide one!
