Those explosions in Majorca drove me up a wall back then. Wouldn't bother me
today.

Have you noticed that macho attitude some TMers strike where they claim they
can meditate anywhere regardless of ambient noises - most infamously at a
scandal-racked teacher-training course in Mallorca (?) when there were
explosions going off in the out-of-season hotel car park during renovation
work!
I could never manage that trick - I need relative quiet. A few years back I was
doing my evening session on bonfire night (November 5th) here in UK and about
half-way through the entire street decided to set off their fireworks at the
same time. Jesus! Since then I always meditate before darkness falls on that
date.

recorded, these are some of the best places to seek the silence. Kind of like
the gap. > People imagine these places as big party atmospheres with no noise
