Just a little reminder to all of us who tend to forget, to fast, especially when we don’t get bombarded by the news cause it’s not relevant for the media anymore ….. At least most of us ….. I got these pictures today and I am touched to see them all. We should be thankful…

Outside the City / May 16th…. 4 days after
2 days after I arrived in Kathmandu, exactly 2 days after the second earth quake, we – my back than guides, now friends (!) – went to Bhaktapur Durbar Square. It is 13km outside of Kathmandu. It’s one of the 3 Durbar Squares in the Kathmandu Valley, and like the all 3 a UNESCO World…
You will not believe that / hipster-like Monk
I see a lot of “new genaration monks” here with mobile devices, cool sneakers and fashionable arrangements (jackets, sneakers and bags, backpacks) within their colour palette & designs, which are of limited nature as we know. But as we can see has some room for interpretation 🙂 Today I actually saw my FIRST TIME EVER…
Rebuild in Action / “Tomorrow?” “Yes.”
I leave the guest house at about 9 and come back 6:30 pm. Everyday I can see some progress which amazes me. In this area they start fixing the stupa (Baudha). I also see many many more people here and much more shops are opening up.
Some Key Facts / around 9.000 to 10.000 orphans
About 5000 schools are totally damaged. People are glad, that the earthquake didn’t happen on a regular school day. Just think about it. Schools are still closed….. As per goverment – so I have been told – they should be operating again already, but the issue is: they don’t exist anymore. The country has around…

Reality Overkill / One Gorkha please
Today has been a very impactful day in many ways. Met a lot of very interesting people who do great things over here and who want to connect with me. I got introduced to more and more and more “needs”, new people and organizations. “Do you want to join? I am now driving to the…
Old historic part / Meeting my brother incidentally – many moons ago
I traveled to Kathmandu many many moons ago for the first time. It was a very special trip I did back that time with my brother. We started together but I have to admit, that we split ways in India because I met someone 😦 What a bad older sister I was… A bit of…
Evening / mystic atmosphere
This is what I saw yesterday evening on my way back to the guest house. I remember this atmosphere from my first trip to the city. Everyday I buy 5 lights that cost 50 Nepales Rupees = 0,43€. Few from the restaurant with very good wifi. I bought a beer and shared it…
Big Deal / some more Irkutsk impressions (04.05)
Keeping up with all the staff I did and the things I saw is keeping me busy. Trip-blog-stress…. Hmmmmmm Well this is the reason why I am posting about Siberia, the train ride or my 5 days Beijing now being here in Kathmandu 🙂 Internet works, it just takes sometimes a long time to upload…
