You see them everywhere: official places where NGOs and government organization provide tends, water and food, but also in back yards or any other “suitable” space. There is no restriction, people can put them up if they feel it’s a safe place. I saw people setting them up yesterday so it looks like they are…

9 am – 11 am / Earthquake warning
Someone knocking at my door: “Good morning, its better you leave the house. We are all outside.” An hour ago I could feel my bed shaking.
Happiness Guest House / Shops are closed / ” Are you part of the relief team?”
I took it easy yesterday and spend the extra of the day close to the guest house which is located in historic neighborhood of Boudhanath and moments a away from the great Stupa. Buildings are not greatly effected here. You can find some people staying in tends but this is more – so I have…
Hello Kathmandu / Meeting Arjun / 28 years agoÂ
Getting my visa and entering the country was super easy. Apparently no one over here heard about an entry restriction. ” May I help you, please come to this terminal to scan your passport and for us to take a picture….. Do you like your picture?” 🙂 “Yes.” “Your first time here?” “No, 28 years…
Beijing / Lasa / Kathmandu – Easy To get into the CountryÂ
What else can one wish for than a sunny day and a great taxi driver to leave a big and hectic city such as Beijing. Less hectic thanks to Hong Fei who helped me bringing all my staff to the post office – just a few bags – and even taking the parcel to her…

Waiting to check in. Curious to see how many will fly. We count 4 at the moment. A friendly Chinese lady asked me if I can help her carry a bag as she has many! A little over 2 years ago I received the “final briefing”. It took me a long time to get ready…
2 am / help they are still talkingÂ
I don’t understand : why lay down in an area where people want to sleep and all they do is talking???? What the heck do they have to talk about non stop?
9 Hours Stop Over / this is the best place ?
Took me some time to find this corner. This airport really doesn’t want people to enjoy their time between flights…. I am tempted to get my sleeping cover out as well to represent Germany properly!! I might rearrange a bit:) Oh no: the guy from the bench behind me snores. OMG …. …
“Ist alles so schön bunt hier” / needed to see one:cemetaryÂ
Endless hours most of the train travelers – if not sleeping or searching for a possibility to charge their mobile device (s), – did spend their time looking out of the window. It’s like staring into a fireplace. Seriously I enjoyed it a lot. So we passed by a number of colorful places. Once I…
