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.
