WET WET WET

Well.. I know its the monsoons but my lord, I now know how it feels like to be in Bangladesh... I had to walk 5 km to get to my hotel and I kid you not half of it was in water close to my knees. This was in the main streets of Kathmandu, Completely covered in water not a little, a river full!.. Clearly Kathmandu does not have a proper system to deal with rainwater disposal, it was amazing, It was like a river was roaming all through the city.. AND then the LIGHTS went off!..

No light, none whatsoever, here I am walking with no idea anymore where I am heading, every 2 minutes I am asking for directions.. and in the dark I am lost as to the direction to my guesthouse, all the landmarks are gone in the black city I now was in. Whats worse is that I know there are potholes all over the streets and as I walk on water I cant see any of them,and Im thinking "Thats great, I will be in a hole soon".. So I just followed people right behind them, making them the sacrifice...

After walking/swimming for 30 minutes I reached my alley where I live. Its part of hundreds little alleys not big enough to get a car inside. I always get lost inside them, but I know this one way inside this maze of alleys to find my guesthouse. And as I entered the alley system from the main road, i realised the alley was flooded, but really what can I do I know other way, so I step into it and ahmm.. First step water is to my waist, and it was dark as dark gets.. As I though well sinc eIam already init I might as well walk, a guy shouts and says STOP!.. and points that water get nearly to your neck after a few steps.. and I thank god for sending this man, and take a step back and come back to the main road.... And then begins my expedition to find a new way back to my guesthouse (Who's name I have forgotten!). roaming the alleys(Gali's) of kathmandu I spend another 40 minutes going in circles and finally i end up at my guest house, I dont know how.. I just do..... Wet, very very wet..

Long interesting night it was indeed!
