No Nepal for me
Due to a last minute professional incident, I had to cancel my trip to Nepal. I am very disappointed, for these were the only real holidays of a really tough year.
I’m planning it again for March-April next year for two-three weeks.

Nepal is coming
My trip to Nepal is nearly prepared. I’m leaving London on August 5 and coming back on September 6 (though I am again flying to Barcelona the next day, September 7 :S). Originally, I planned to go to Delhi and get a bus to Kathmandu from there, but because of the Indian visa I had to change these plans for a flight to Kathmandu the same day I’m landing in India. Shame. Next time. It’s entirely my fault. I didn’t think of the Indian visa on time! For it takes at least 15 days to get it in London if you are not a UK national.
I am going to stay a few days in Kathmandu Then I’ll be in an organic farm project of the RUWON organization, where I’ll do some farming and teaching for women living in rural societies. I hope I can also do some trekking in the middle. I expect to update my blog regularly with pictures while I’m there.
Kindness is to the heart as sunshine is to flowers
At this moment, I am in contact with the WWOOF (World-Wide Opportunities for Organic Farms) network of Nepal to organise my stay in one of their farms. At the bottom of one of their last emails, in which they sent me the list of farms that are part of the network (they have already 74 hosts!), there was this proverb:
Kindness is to the heart as sunshine is to flowers
This made me think about our attitude to life. Should we see the world as a tough reality full of bad things and, therefore, adapt to it with cynicism and acceptance? or should we try to see the good things in life to make this world a better place?
