After more than a week in kathmandu I was at some of the holy places like Boudha - the other big stupa at the other side of the town and Paping - a special place with a Gurur Rinpoche cave, a freen Tara temple and a Vayra Jogini temple. All overcrowded by Hindus - crazy and loud like always.
After all the friends left form Kahtmandu I decided to do a retreat and meditate on the roof top of the Buddhist center with a view on the stupa of Swayambu.
But today I took a little bit a time-out and went with Anna to a beauty salon!!! Massages and hair cut for incredible little money. If you have money here you can live like a king or queen. If you don't mind the power cuts of 12 to 15 hours a day, the poluted air and the non existing streets!!
I also booked a bus ticket to Delhi for a 36 hours ride to be at the KIBI at Losar as Karmapa will be there this year. I am really looking forward to that and try not to think about my bottom of my back for this advanture.

Actually I am still counting down the days and make wishes never to be reborn in this part of the world. I got quite an understanding of what Karma and suffering is really about and that we all live on an island of the gods realm in the west no matter how hard the times are right now. And I know a bit about living with little money and fear to the future. Finished with this experinece here.
