Secondary De Ja Vu

The last time I had a De ja Vu /premonition was in India in '96. I opened the French door of my room in Udipur to acknowledge the morning as we had arrived here late the night before. The building's facade and surrounding landscape was familiar. I remembered this scene from a dream although the country was unknown. I also knew that if I was to walk to my left I would see particular buildings and a certain landscape. This happened in Xian.. I was trying to locate my hostel for the first time. I turned a corner. Suddenly I was struck with the imposing city wall on a slight angle and immediately knew what I would see when I reached the guesthouse. And I did. Martin advised that this indicates that I am in the correct place at the correct time..
