In Kathmandu(1)
For the recent past 2 months I hd bin in Kathmandu, Nepal.It was my first time in Nepal, and i hd bin in only Kathmandu.Without moving out, without making trip to the country sides,without enjoying its nature and magnificent mountains...…"Not like others"."WAT ON EARTH R U ? "crazy", "funny", "incredible" "strange",Some r astonished at, some r laughed at me,then my weirdness factor rapidly increased to the stable 99%……I hd never seen......I am terribly sorry.......:P :P :POooooookieeeee, next time, sure thing, next time, of cos….lol. Almost everyday i commuted to my volunteer work on foot for the 7km-one-way journey in about an hour n half,with millions of ppl, motorbikes n cows along, cross n tru its bbbuuusssyyy ddduuussstttyyy streets.I did take Taxi just twice in my 2 months in Kathmandu (oh, it was also thanks to my friends, riding double with me on motorbike). Everywhere could i walk. Proudiee.But ppl did not think so, they asked me again n again,"Why do u walk ?"There was no answer other than "I LOVE WALKING",cos i love :VWhile walking, listening the music,I could enjoy completely different, eccentric but exotic scenes of the streets,peeking at the tiny living space but dynamic human system,I loved the moment with a slight relationship generated by the unnecessary eye contact andi also loved to feel the subtle senses and smells of daily life.If i had taken a taxi, i would have missed these essences.Nothing special, i also walk in Japan, and yes run. In my opinion,the best way to find or feel myself getting to warm up to the unfamiliar scenery, systems, customs and styles is to be in one location for a while.The number of styles for trip could be the same in that of ppl, so this was mere one of them.For others,trip to many countries, places as many as one can, ortrip to meet ppl as many in different cultures as one can,the more situations n experiences you r in, the more impressive things could happen…any does work.any is reality.But me,i chose to be here…. this was my trip style this time.Because of a budget travel,because of a travel for my volunteer work,yes, those were one of the reasons, and actually,i answered like that to the questions from others.But u know,these were not my main reason.Everyone's interest was not in my main reason, that helped me in a sense. lol.Everyone's interest was toward not my reason but"why i do not do or do not turn my attention to the activities ALMOST ALL PPL r interested in or think as wonderful, real Nepal experiences ? "But I thought it would be OK to do them next time.Cos i had chosen i was here, by my own clear will.I had, by myself :)When i said "everyone", it is more than 90% of all."I" am MERE in the rest 10 % or less."not like others".To Be Continued….
