I was with two french Volunteers for a one week trip in Pokhara.
We ordered a taxi to our hostel for the next day for early in the morning. Because we wanted to go to Sarangkot on a Hill to see The Sunrise over the Himalaya. So the Taxi came at 4:45 am. We were ready in time and then we stood in front of the close portal from the Hostel. We were inside, the Taxi Driver was outside.
The Man tried to open the Door, but it was locked.
After short thinking (well the others were thinking, I was like "Oh no common let us go back" so I was just standing there) they find a way to get out. We climbed over the Wall which surrounded the Hostel. First the Man then he and the taxi Driver helped me and the other Girl to get off the Wall.
When I was on the other Side and the Girl was sitting on the Wall, one of the women were coming, which are working in the hostel. She said "you can open it" the Girl on the wall answered "No it's ok" the woman came and said "No no you can open it" She goes to the Portal and opened a small door, which was in the big portal. It was unlocked.
All of us break out in laughting, even the taxi driver laughed. :'D
Well then the Day was a "normal" Day of a traveler.
In the evening, I NEEDED Ice Cream, which is difficult to find in Nepal. At least we found a Caffee which serves Ice cream.
While we was waiting for my Ice Cream and the teas for all of us, I was looking around and wondered about a man, standing behind a middle high Wall.
I thougth behind that was the kitchen and watched while waiting to see soon someting to eat in the mans hand.
I was irritated, that he all the time again and again was looking at me and looked kind of irritated.
I turned around and asked the other two "What is he doing?" the others answered "I don't know, it looks strange".
I looked again and again and then I read what was written On the wall. "Toilett". I break out in laugh and hardly could explain to the others, who started laughing as well, when I handled, to explain. :'D
That was one of the funniest days in my whole travel :'D

Other peoples naive way of thinking
There are moments, where I feel really naive. But actually I don't understand why people say that relatively often to me. Because when I hear people on my travel speaking, I am thinking "What the fuck, you have fucking no Idea what live is like."
Like right now, where I'm sitting in a McDonald's and listening to three young girls next to me.
From two of them I didn't heard much, but from one, I heared at first something, that nearly let me explode. "I know so many people who studied with me and now only becomes a teacher I mean an early childhood teacher with the little children. I can't understand that. When am with children like that I get sick of them after five minutes and simply be exhausted" she did "Early childhood teacher" as if it is a low income job that is worthless. And I thought "well that you become so fast sick of them, don't really speaks for your personality princess".
I wasn't following the conversation for a while. When I start listening again, she said "I think even thirty is not really old. You know, you are in a better situation, you have money and can do whatever you want, you have more opportunities to travel likeI have now" that's out of the mouth from a nearly 21 years old Woman.
One Woman answered "If you work really hard yes." What told me, that she is not that naive, like the other girl. I mean, I don't know where she is from, but in Germany, you have a job with 30 have normally money for the rent and living and for a holiday trip once or twice a year. Longer trips are in the most jobs not possible. So actually, they have less possibilitys than the young people.
Actually I need to say, that sitting in the MC Donalds all the time, is kind of cool. You can buy food and drinks all the time, you have free wifi and you can watch many different people. And at least, you can have funny conversations. I had two of them in four hours I am already sitting here.
The first one, was with a man, who was playing a game on his mobile phone. He was talking to himselfe all the time. And then he asked me,if I knew the game and start showing and explaining it to me.
I don't know why he did it. Maybe he just wanted to share the game he love with others or wanted to talk. He wasn't drunk and didn't seemed to be on drugs. So I think it was just what he needed at that moment.
Later I got in a conversation with an older lady. She asked me after the time and explained that she needs to go to countdown to get her water because she can't drink the tap water from Auckland.
Then she asked me, if I am on Facebook and I told her, that I am writing a blog. But she understood a book.
Well I didn't corrected that misunderstanding. She asked after the name and was really sweet, she said a few times, that she will search online for my book and hopes, that I can make it to publishing it.
Well I hope so too, but more I hope, that I can make it, to finish one 😂
So even when you are relaxing while your travel like me and walk every day the same street up and down and spend your money for mostly unhealthy food, if you leave your eyes and ears open, you can see and hear much.

Different World
Yangon is a complete different world than Kathmandu. Here the streets are more clean and the trafic is not crazy. There are Trafic lights.
So the trafic here is much slowlier than in Kathmandu.
It is more quiet.
I live in a buddhistic monastery that is more a little village. Here are living in complete 2.000 people. Many of them are sick and old.
Here it is much more different than I thought it would be.
This kind of budddhism, I don't agree with. Because it is not alowed to wear Tops and Shorts. It is not alowed to listen to music, sing or dance. Any alcohol or drugs are forbidden.
They think suffering is neccessary to get a better next live and they don't treat their animals really well.
This is what I saw in this village here.
Also they say, you should not get attached by any feelings. No anger, no hate, no love.
And they don't follow their own rules what makes everything here to something like a joke, like every other religion is also at the most places.
I didn't thought, that I will, but I really miss Nepal. I really miss the Childrens Home I was working in. Because it was a familiar atmosphere there. And the hosts where open. They was telling us, what they really thinks about things in their religion, they directly told us that they don't do anything exactly like they should do.
Here they say, we are not allowed to do this things and this rules are especially important for monks. And in the end, they don't follow their own rules.
Past will follow you everywhere
At Monday I was getting sick. It was maybe food poisoning. I don't have the symptoms anymore since Tuesday morning. But I still feel sick. My belly don't feel well and I feel energyless. In that time I used unbelievable much mobile internet data's. Also because I was looking a movie over Netflix. And that one makes me realize, that I don't do what I should do since I am here.
I am so hard working to get as much work as possible, so that I don't have to much time to think about something.
The movie touches me more, than I thought it will be and I realized, that I mainly should be here, to concentrate on myselfe. And not to take care of dogs and cats who are treated bad from the people in this village and also not mainly to teache children English.
But I also realized through this movie, that I do that, because I don't want to get in touch to intensive with everything inside me. I have known that already before I was coming here. Because I always break down in cry if I whatch movies which only touches one of the problematic topics from my past.
And then I am often not able to calm down easily again so I realized early, that I didn't cry that much because of the movies themselves.
I cryed because there is something in my past and the movie let it coming out.
Because this is a travel blog, I think I don't will have much to write in this month here.
I will write more intensive on my blog about my past.
Everyone who wants to read that, could contact me and ask for the link.
Thanks.
