I decided to write in english this time! For those nepali friends and foes, and ofcourse to test my english writing skills. Maybe if Ari read this, you can throw a comment. And for you all as well, comments are very welcome.
Still having these sleeping problems... I tought that I had exceeded my point of staying awake, but I'm still tested in this matter. So I have decided to leave those malaria prevention pills, cause they gave me the hallucinations and nightmares. Well, they have ended now, but I still can't sleep. I don't know why, maybe I should go jogging or something, like Sadin told me. Atleast, if something good one would like to see in this, Miika does not have to listen to my outrageous snore! And I could not get the sleeping pills from here. In here they do not sell them whithout a prescription. That's good thing. People cant use them to commit suicides.
I would not have commited a suicide. Instead I would like to organize a multinational Doggycide, for the streetdogs. I don't like it when people abuse them, so they would be better dead. And what would be a better way to die for a streetdog, than to have a big feast with a pot of poridge mixed whith few bags of sleeping pills.
Today was nice. Last night I got only two hours of sleep. At six in the morning we woke up for the bus to go to Pokhara. They still hadn't repaired the road after landslides and we couldn't go. Miika continued his sleep like a child. I was so angry for the wakening that I decided to go for a walk. At eight I wen upstairs for a smoke. There I had this what we call in finnish "AHAA-experience". I was surprised because the sky was clear of smoke and above the clouds I could see snowtops! I have never seen them in the nature and it was so beautiful! It was our fifth day at Esther and I never saw those high mountaíns because of the smoke and clouds.
So I was like walking in the Valley. Everything was peacefull and the sun was torching me with his gentle touch. The Valley was very nice and beutiful. Suddenly I stepped in to this big load of holyshit, which I excepted to be cow dung. I figured out that when an outcast like me gets so close to something holy, I become a better person. Esther, I hope you don't get mad at me writing this again, but some readers like Ari aren't on Facebook. After the walk I got a nice little nap for like four to five hours. Miika slept well too.
In the afternoon we ate breakfast. Then we headed to the town again, hopefully for the last time. So we did some shopping out there and we were fooling around and having fun. We'll make a video about the traffic and streetcrossing in there. Then we went to eat dinner for the last time in Kathmandu. Our favourite restaurant was absolutely Singa - the indian food court, which we visited for four times. Food there is really good and safe to eat! We had a real gourmet dinner in there. Frittered Fish, french fries, cornsoup, tomato roti and delicious desserts.This has been our life in Kathmandu, driving taxis, eating dinners... Not.
We have had a good time in here. This has been a real experience to get to know Nepal and make new friends here. Even if we had hard times and some setbacks, we are still happy and greatful.
We also are really interested in Esthers work whith the orphans. Esther, we thank you for everything and God bless you! You are awesome. Sradda and Shreya, you have been so kind to us too. You fellows are just sometime very hyperactive that we don't always keep up whith you. Sradda, thanks for the lesson in history and politics in Nepal. And if Sadin reads this, bro, take care and see you in Pokhara. Come to visit us there!
Tomorrow, or actually in four hours we leave Kathmandu and head to Pokhara. If there is another landslide, then we can live in the streets like dogs. :)
So take care, Im not sure of the Internet connections in there so I might have a little break in blogging.

haha, Antti!!!
VastaaPoistaI hope you and Mikka made it safe to Pokhara. Thank you for the blog in English, it's wonderful and interesting to read your perspective!
Hope you finally get some sleep!
Kuulostaa hyvältä. Mukavaa olemista teille sinne ja toivottavasti saat pian kunnon yöunet. On varmasti opettavainen reissu kaikin puolin. Minä oon aina halunnut Nepaliin, lähellä on käyty, muttei vielä ole ollut sen aika. Mutta tämä Esther työskentelee orpojen kanssa? Miten tai siis haluaisin kuulla lisää!
