and by the way

In three hours time my visa expires. This means that when I leave tomorrow I'll be one day overdue. The immigration office assured me that this will not be a problem. "Visa, no no. Not a problem at all sir. HAHA"
However, the Mexico/Continental airlines incident suggests that things left to destiny will always get messed up. So if I'm not home by sunday, I'm probably in jail in Nepal for illegal immigration or something.
Send me a postcard!

It's over...

Well, today we're writing the 11th of August and tomorrow I am going home. I feels kind of strange actually. But, some time in Norway doing nothing is going to be great. Hm, thinking about it, I don't really have much to say. Other than being in Nepal for two months at times has been extremely rewarding, at times incredibly funny, and at other times quite lonely. I look forward to seeing all, or at least most of you back home!

until then, Lal Salaam!

Jazzmandu

Yes box. Today I bought a record with nepali jazz music. Those of you who know me of course know how much I love jazz from the Himalayas. It's just so much more alive than music from our cold and industrialized society. People over here, they care for each other. I mean, in the music, you can really tell. They jam for people, not for money, like in the west.
Like the great celloman Mao once said, it's people, not things, that are deceisive.
