Pokhara

In Pokhara again after four years! It's really nice to be back! I came to have my driving licence renewed and thinking that would take a few days I decided to stay for three full days. As it turned out it was actually done in an hour and that gave me almost three full days to spend here!

The first day I went to see the place were I was staying 2003- 2005. The neighbours were still there and I spent some time talking to them. The dog looked the same, but was not, the kids had grown and looked very different! I also went to see the lady in the Luv-Kush Dairy, where I used to buy my yogurt. It might seem an odd place to "revisit" but it was one of the places were I was often spending time chatting to the "shahuni" and the "sahuji".

Yesterday I borrowed a motorbike and went to GBS. It was great! (Photos to be posted later). The school has grown so big and there were so many new teachers, but it still felt like coming "home". There were still many staff members that I knew and it was so good to see them all again. Being there also made me feel like getting started with my work. There are so many challenges!

Today I think I'll spend most of the day down at the Lake and then, in the afternoon I'll be going to Chipledhunga/New Road to do a bit of shopping together with Manju, my friend with whom I'm staying here in Pokhara, and her daughter. Tomorrow I'll be heading back to Kathmandu on a tourist bus.
