ohmylife.

i must be the sweatiest person ALIVE right now!!

just came back from the hottest place in the world
(okay, maybe i exaggerate too much!)- Pokhara
which is really beautiful, but it somehow feels like
it's 100 metres from the sun, cause yes-
it's THAT hot ):

but yeah it was great to breathe in clean air
and not hear any honks for a few days,
but it took 9 hours to get back cause there
were accidents along the way and everyone
is always so nosy about things like these!

and thank goodness, those 9 hours were
made enjoyable by the amazing sights around,
imagine lush green mountains everywhere and
you're driving down in the bus overlooking fields
and fields of emerald green- i was quite disappointed
that the bus didn't stop for any photo taking!

but the highlight of the trip was definitely
seeing the amazing peaks of the Himalayas.

seriously- WOW.

i got woken up at 5.30am on Saturday telling
me to look out my window and even without glasses,
my mouth just dropped!

Pokhara is surrounded by mountains already,
but cause it's quite cloudy at this time of the year
we didn't really know where to look and didn't
see anything amazing anyway, but in the morning
when the sky is all clear... wow.

honestly, behind the mountains surrounding us were
these large majestic snow-capped mountains
which were shrouded in wisps of clouds so it
looked quite mystical and surreal,
and then there were eagles just soaring around them,
honestly it was FLIPPIN amazing!

i took as many photos as possible,
but photos never do justice ):
and we toyed with the idea of paragliding over
the Himalayas as well, then decided that
it was too cloudy- so looks like I've to come back to
Nepal to do that!

i almost considered trekking but same to my senses!

and boy, during this weekend we met plenty of
weirdos- a guy who claimed to be one of the founding
fathers of Hare Krishna and was telling us all about it,
this Dutch fella who told us he was going down to
Pokhara to 'find some sistas' >.<

and everyone seems to like talking about religion,
which was quite hard for me cause i'm terrible
at talking about Christianity- and it was hard
to debate without sounding offensive but yet
stand my ground you know??

ok my head is spinning, i hvnt had food all day
+gotta go take a shower- more tomorrow!

Should have went to Late Love more often and practised those apologetics skills.
