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.

On my way to work / Could get used to this service
Every morning Raj is picking me up with his scooter and drops me at the tend. He is also picking me up. Very nice!!! Our journey takes us through the most narrow (!!!) ways and is about 30 min. long. I enjoy it a lot as I can see so many things on our little…
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…

“Time to let go.” /Ready for Heaven
Today we went to Pashupatinath. The good news: It is hardly effected by the earthquakes. As this is the most famous place you can imagine how busy it is, especially a few weeks ago … The atmosphere is peaceful and calm. People watch the ceremonies and some had something like a little pick nick. I…
14.05 / helicopter noise
Saw a lot today 😦 I learned that since the second big earthquake people are more scared again. Before that, normality sneaked in for a bit, but now no more. Schools are closed since 22 day and now most shops are as well again. 60% of the citizens left the valley and 90% of the…
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…
