Experiencing life

Let me see - when was my last blog entry?
Yah - it was when I lost my i-phone.
And No - in case if you are wondering if I found it, the answer is NO. How can u get get the "goat out from a tiger's mouth", obviously not possible especially if the "tiger" is as hungry as the Indians.

Apart from the above mentioned incident - an unhappy one - I just came back from Kathmandu, Nepal.
Nepal to me is like a combination of China + India. Most ppl speak Hindi in Nepal and the flight to Kathmandu was quite scary. Kathmandu is a mountain area and we experienced a strong turbulence just before we land. For a moment I thought - not now, I don't want to die yet!
A very nice Belgium lady sat next to me trying to "cheers" me up and she said - "well, don't worry too much, I am sure we will be fine. But if you die, you die."
Thanks very much - that was "helpful".

With the current Indian air traffic vs their infrastructure, it will be just the matter of time and luck before anymore plane crashes. Everyday there are news about which airline and which has yet another near-misses, dogs in the run way where airplane trying to avoid, ppl trying to comment suicide by running into the runway... etc....
You can understand now my worry is not at no-based.

Come back to my Kathmandu trip- got side tracked.
Maybe it was just a quick stop for business meetings, I haven't got the chance to see much of Kathmandu. So to me, at least now, it is just another city like India.
I didn't even bring my camera, wait a minute, I don't have a camera!!
Therefore no photos to show you. Perhaps I would go back to Kathmandu again and take a good look at it.
Until then - pls wait, Kathmandu.
