Magical Kingdom - Nepal Adhirajya

Day 1

I feel like dorothy, when her house crash landed in Oz and the world turned from black and white to color. We are not in Singapore. We are in Nepal, finally -----------------

Being in Nepal has an euphoric feeling. Everything seems so surreal but yet sublime and has an aura about it. Suddenly you are intensely nauseated and then you are throwing up on some suburban geraniums. Being there felt exactly like one of those dreams, in which you suddenly realise that you have to take a test you haven't studied for and you ain't wearing any clothes. When I am out in the street, in time, I am inverted, i felt a urge to changed into a desperate version of myself.. A thief, a vagrant, an animal who runs. Thats what Nepal felt like... endless of freedom.

Day 2 or 3

After mintues arriving at Nargakot. "Come on," I tell him.

"Let's go outside."

"I want to show you something."

We put our jacket back on and tromp through the lobby and out the side door. The sky is clear ultramarine blue and the snow covering the mountain peaks reflects it back lighter and the two blues meet in the dark line of a seemingly endless valley. Its too early for stars but the glare from the sun seems like an airplane blinking its way across space at the speed of light. I imagine our house as a tiny dot of light seen from above, like a star. I am starting to feel torn between mirth and incredulity. I filled my lungs with the sweet April air. As if my whole life is one long deja vu. To be standing here, feeling as one with mother nature, its simply incredible!
