Reserve

10th of October

It's impossible to book things in Nepal, not that people are lazy or too incompetent to handle a calender but more the country acting a bit indecisive, like it's still in bed on a Sunday morning not quite sure yet if it want to deal with the agenda of today. Most things can only be booked up to a week in advance, which might be why there are no, for example, cinemas around. You wouldn't know what movie you payed a ticket for since it most likely would change, even thou I know from own experience that mistakenly ending up on a horror movie instead of a romantic comedy on a date could work out pretty well.

Meeting up with someone local is the hardest part since all they tell you is that they'll be seeing you sometime during that day. Actually, this isn't hard at all, but for a stressed European the thought of waiting possibly sixteen hours on a person is about as tempting as french kissing a buffalo. I'd rather not get that physical with a cattle if just a person could give an estimated time on arrival. A good European wouldn't consider reading a good book during that time, or maybe take some time for calming meditation. The good European would seize the day by planing the next one.

I met up with the Orphanage mother of Happy Home Pochara today and this went smoother then usual. She was only almost on time, counting in the nepali way reading a clock. The orphanage she works on, and from no one me as well, has been a hotel, is built of red bricks and hosts a total of 19 kids. Most importantly, they got keep about 10 aggressive Kung Fu Chickens on the roof, skilled in roundhouse kicking anything possibly helpful to them and peck at everything that could provide food. Them will I have some longer discussions with in the nearest days, in how to behave against strangers and the art of acting after personal interest. In this case me continuing to bring them food.

This place seems nice and I'll be staying here for more then a week. Since I'm in Nepal and the calender for the next week haven't been printed yet makes it unfortunately impossible for more accurate predictions on how long I'll be staying.
