That was this week end. Has anyone ever wondered why mother's day is different all over the world ? I mean, all holidays are always the same, but not that one. And here it was saturday. So weird. Ah, monday morning, hope everyone had a good week end. As for us, we are still in kathmandu. We went trekking, that lasted 2 days, it was a nice walk up, 22 kms, might not sound much but get on that mountain and after 10 minutes it feels like 130. My legs are extremely sore today I must admit.
So we might have found a way to leave, we went to check a couple of travel agents, prices vary, so does the state of the strikes. It's a little hard to know who knows what and with our luck we'll probably get stuck somewhere for a few days. It's getting just a tad annoying. Everyday we hear something different. Flights are out of the question, everything is booked, buses are the only option, which is pretty cool for me cause I love roof riding.
We saw Kumari yesterday, she's a 5 year old girl that nepali believe is the reincarnation of a goddess, it is pretty sad, she's stuck in a house and can never leave. You should read about her on the net, it's pretty interesting. They make her spend a night with crazy freaky stuff in a house on her own and if she gets scared that means she's not the goddess. And the day she will bleed (either from cutting herself or getting her menstruations) she will be back to live a normal life and become like every other girl. As if you could just change life like that...
I don't know what we're gonna do today, we went around a lot and kathmandu ends up being pretty small once you've seen all the touristic places. Chilling and drinking tea seems to be the thing we do best... So I will go get myself a nice cup of black tea to start a hopefully good week. India is/should be next.
