One day skipping lessons is a 100 gram kettlebell to the making-your-life-wrong side of scales. Once it was overweight at that side of mine, so being relieved from uni means that your freaky life is going down to valhalla without any signs of understanding from your parents.
The only way to get distracted from that was just booking a flight to nowhere, that obviously was the never-heard-of country - Nepal. Watching some Bollywood movies you expect something like that. You get to the plane and the guy next to you starts his freaky dance show. But that were just fantasy, nothing more. Spent 11 hours in plane, feeling your feet like in italian boot torture tool was not just an easy way to change your life. But walking out of Kathmandu airport completely sends you to early colonial times of english conquerors in India.
Located in a heart of town, Thamel street troubles just taking you off this boredom of your clerk stuff. After couple of local beers, bound to Pashupatinath temple. Half an hour walking by feet and you can smell something similar to pigs' skin burning. Arriving there means standing on a bridge with a nice picturesque view to burning courpses, children that are looking for bodies' gold teeth, jewelry, cows copulating on another side of Bagmati river. And silence! You will never feel as comfortable, as you could there. Exactly here is the place to rethink your position on different issues. The night sky covered the town, and a route back to Thamel street seems much harder. Dirty cows crossing the roads in the middle of the city means a lot - I wish there were deers in the center of Moscow. Down the street you can see a lot of people, looking for hiking equipment - they know something, that you have just realised. Your time is not just preparation for routine, is a treasure. Coming out of you comfort zone makes your brain upside-down. So I treasure that computer mouse click, that helped me to buy airtickets to Nepal that day, but there will be no computers on the Everest trek, that I'm heading to tomorrow...
