The road to Saga was washed out. Meaning we couldn't get out of there. Apparently Times of India covered it...sz knew of it...s-hil told her...so we took a very long round-about...driving 2,000+km across tibet to reach the border with Nepal. Our Chinese driver was phenomenal...i really liked him...most efficient of the crew...he wore jeans, a maroon jacket and a t-shirt...hardly spoke a word...was smiling at the end of it all...with his cigarette...we were at an odd hotel behind the china-india canteen...oh well...
We were only driving...driving...driving...i took a dump behind a big pole advertising something...it was most relieving! :) the journeys mattered...human...clouds...vast skies...wonder...back in time differently...fun...time flew...and i knew it would...
The last night and second-half day was very difficult...may be most challenging. felt empty. long traffic jam on a mountain. mind is a funny thing. how to be present...when present is burning into past...there was distress...this-that...we got lost...finally reaching kathmandu...landslides...the next morning was farmer's market near the president's house...then afterwards tamr took us to dwarka hotel...very interesting architecture...i struggled to stay put...but time passes by as it does...everyone said bye...i packed the water...they said i left the water bottle cover, food, glasses inside...of course i did...gave to that man who gave tape...stared at space which seemed nice for awhile...shopping before that which was fine...and left nepal.
