My life

As I have already said in another e-mail or post, I'm not leaving as a tourist that is travelling around Nepal. Right now I'm leaving like a Nepali. My house, the orphanage, is cold, without any kind of heater. The sun just warms my bedroom one hour per day, and three or four the kids bedroom. The living room and the Kitchen don't recieve sun light any time. The orphanage is sorrounded by tallers buildings, that's why. So, in general, winter is really cold, but probably in summer would be perfect.
Toilet is in the yard. The tap is also there, so every time you need water you have to go to the yard. The water is really icy. And more, sometimes even ther's no water. Nepla is the second country of the world with more water, but some days we don't have water at all.
The same happens with the electricity. Kathmandu has hyroelectric power station, but the black outs are more than 40 hours each week. During that hours Kathmandu is under the candles lights until that with shouts of joy everywhere light comes again.
I decided to come without any kind of music reproductor. I really loves music and it hurts a lot. So every time it's my memory that works as music reproductor. I tought that I would remember more songs, but there are just a few, around 20. The other night, I was brushing my theet in the yard, and someone, in a near house was listening Red Hot's Californication. My joy was huge. I remember the concert and I was dancing happy.
Nepali people don't stop look at me whereever I go, and a lot of them just come to me to have some conversation. Just take a walk and you will meet someone. Like a few minutes ago, when I was coming to the cyber. A nepali started a conversation and at the end he offered me go to hos house in a small village in Annapurna region when I'll be there. Or yerterday, I was taking a walk around Balaju and a scurity man come to give conversation during one hour.
Last week I started to read Ramayana, a basic epic of Indian culture. Some days ago I started to do medtitation, yoga, following the advices of Bhola and Himal, yoga to be wexactly.
And when one week is left to leave the orphanage, I start to think about what to do after. I want go to Everest. I will need 29 walking to reach it. And I will take more, because I want to go to Goyko lakes, a really beautifull place close to Everest. So, as I'll reach base camp, I'll be 5 kilometres far away from Everest, and his top, 3300 metres over me. and I'll be 5500 over the sea level. It's amazing think that are just a few points in Europe that are near or 3300 metres
over the sea level.
And then Annapurna, another 21 days. Then, far west Nepal eith Bhola, tomorrow Losar celebrations starting(new tibetan year), in April nepali new year, then thailand in June with my friends, China with the Olymp[ic games, India, the giant India, Dharmsala, where I want to do volunteer job alos. Too much things to do and not enough time...
Who knows how future will be.
