Arriving in Kathmandu, Nepal

It has been 4 days since Dana and I arrived in Nepal. Initially, I felt like in a daze, a dream. Because I have been here before, everything looks and felt distinctly familiar, yet at the same time, foreign and exotic. The dust and the noise can be disturbing yet I felt like being in Nepal was like being given a fresh of freedom and spirituality.

Everything here moves at a much slower pace and I'm learning to slow down the pace of my footsteps and mind activities. In Nepal, I'm able to take time to do nothing and day-dream again, a skill I think I have forgotten as I grew up and life became hectic. It is true that the living standards here are lower than what I'm used to back home but my heart feel lighter and happier here.
