We arrived save and whole around noon local time at Nepal's capital city airport, after flying from Frankfurt to Delhi and from Delhi to Kathmandu.

The city is as chaotic as I am, which fascinated me the second we got off the plane. Of course, we didn't expect it to be anything different, but experiencing it in real life is yet another story.

Staying here will be somewhat dark I guess, since us stupid Germans misunderstood "power cuts" as something happening occasionally (or even regulary, but not scheduled!)... we just experienced that power is off most of the day and night in Kathmandu on purpose, only interrupted by "occasional" hours of electricity twice a day (once during daylight, once during nighttime, but shifting every day) and it's called "load shedding". I will go on a stroll buying candles tomorrow and just interpret it as something really, really romantic going on.

It was bright and sunny today, so who needs electricity, anyway?
