k k k k kathmandu...

Good morning ladies and gentlemen may I have your kind attention please...I heard the voice from the loudspeaker for countless hours in Delhi and it is ingrained in my mind...it was so polite though, I kind of like it...and about the title of this post, got to love the Bob Seger song, it is stuck in my head too...

So I am now officially at my home it Kathmandu. It is spectacular. The whole city is amazing. The flight over, fantastic. I saw first hand why the Himalayas are holy, I definitely believe it now and the pictures from the air will do no justice. There were a few delays because of visibility : / I thought the Indian Jones Scene was going to happen once. I mean we were kind of above the fog, then in the fog beside a mountain, and then in Kathmandu. I guess it is a flight like this that reduce my anxiety for flights back home.

Nothing too crazy at the airport, picked up some rupees, got a visa, walked through customs, and met up with a roommate who landed today. What happened next was intense. Have your ever watched IRT Deadliest roads? Well it just happened. Just picture roommate, me, our group contact, a driver, and our bags strapped to the roof and on our laps crammed into a Prius from 1988 rushing through the packed (motorcycles, buses, trucks, people, dogs, a cow, cars) dirt streets. We were flying and it was the most intense ride of my life...it made a Cedar Point ride look like kiddy land, Ha! 

Alright, there is a lot to do. I need to get unpacked. I have to meet everyone in the house (it is full!). Start looking around the neighborhood. The good news is I feel pretty good, jet lag can't touch me (thank you MVFD with the 12 hour game, it may be working in my favor). The bad news, I do not have a chance to post a picture yet, but I may try to this evening.

One good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain...

That gift from last week is keeping me sane ;)

Got to finish my Nepali Tea...Look it up, it is sweet! Namaste hooligans
