kopan

got very short time, and half working space-bar key.

i'm here in the gorgeous kopan monastery. great view on the kathmandu valley, very beautiful gompas and stupas (temples and shrines) and a special atmosphere. yet it is not that easy, going through all these experiences alone and also it's hard for me to get into serious practice so far.



getting here was quiet an adventure, since the road was corrupted by the rains, so i had to climb up the hill on foot, carrying my 15kg backpack, my 4kg daybag, and my guitar, in about 30 degrees hit and monsoon-like mosture. anyway it felt right somehow, arriving as a sweaty pilgrim and not as a spoiled tourist. when my clothes were totally wet a local car stopped and took me the rest of the way up.

they are closing the internet stations. will continue soon.
