			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While I am already back in Germany, I still have a lot of movie clips and pictures left from my trip to Nepal to share. So here&#8217;s some notes and a little clip from my last full day in Katmandu. We stopped working on Friday and I had been able to again organise a motorcycle to go for a day trip the next morning, swapping the noisy, chaotic city for the beautiful mountains surrounding the Valley.</p>
<p>This time around, I was lucky: I had found a dirt bike, a 185 cc Honda. Much more comfortable for my size and also feeling safer in the traffic of the Nepalese capitol as you generally sit more upright. I started off from the hotel and payed a second visit to the Boudha Stupa, the huge Tibetan-Buddhist sanctuary on the north-east of the city. From there it was back on to the infamous ring road. After almost a half circle around the city, I turned right onto a road leading into the mountains. Immediately traffic died down to the occasional motorcycle, car or one of the notoriously overbooked overland busses with people riding on the roof. The road was in a state comparably well to what I had been riding on the week before: Few potholes, good tarmac. Beautiful views and quiet interesting encounters&#8230;</p>
<p><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xsFvEYh9gtU"></param> <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xsFvEYh9gtU" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"></embed></object></p>
<p>Turnaround point was a fish farm by the side of the road. Using the water coming down the mountains the &#8220;farmer&#8221; was breeding rainbow trout. He showed me around the steep arrangement of basins with the fish in different age and size. He hasn&#8217;t done anything like it before, but returning from the US and Canada, where he had lived for many years, he got interested in it and started his own business. Not an easy undertaking, he confessed, as the road conditions make transportation a real challenge: It is still easier to wait for people finding the farm, the fish, and the lunch that can be enjoyed on the nice spot than bringing the fish to where the people are.</p>

Für die Kinder bedeutet das: Drachensteigen lassen. Überall kann man dann die aus buntem Seidenpapier und gespaltetem Bambus handgefertigten Drachen kaufen, sowie Spindeln mit ausreichend Schnur, um die tanzenden Schmuckstücke hochsteigen zu lassen.</p>
<p><a href="http://travelogue.hirschler.net/photos/photo/1936489731/2007-10-1310-59-15KatmanduNepal.html" class="tt-flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2251/1936489731_39f3feecee_o.jpg" alt="2007-10-13_10-59-15_Katmandu_Nepal" width="500" height="375" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p><em>Kids flying kites along the street out of Katmandu Valley. It was the time of the annual Dharsein festival in Nepal which is traditionally greeted by children flying these handmade kites. You could see them literally everywhere, flying from rooftops or here, from the side of the road. While handmade, these kites are comparably cheap, so loosing one isn&#8217;t to much of bad luck. What&#8217;s pricey are the spindles at about 20 times the amount you&#8217;d have to give for a kite.</em></p>

<p>&#8220;Was ist denn der Hauptunterschied zwischen einem Schuhmacher in Deutschland und hier in Nepal&#8221;, wollte Deepak wissen, der mich auf seinem Motorrad mitgenommen hatte zum Schuhmacher in Patan. Na, am meißten vielleicht, dass unsere Schuhmacher nicht mehr auf dem Boden sitzen. Und vielleicht auch, dass der Beruf des Schuhmachers am aussterben ist. Und vielleicht auch, dass bei uns eine 20-minütige Reparatur inklusive komplett Politur und Aufarbeiten der Schuhe nicht nur 60 €urocent kostet? Schumacherpreise sind am unteren Ende der Preisschere in diessem Land. Manche Dinge sind fast so teuer wie bei uns in Europa, vor allem Güter und Dienste, die sich die Oberschicht und die Besucher leisten wollen. Andere bleiben bezahlbar für die Allgemeinheit, als Besucher bezahlt man dann eine Art Ausländer-Aufschlag, siehe meinen Besuch beim Friseur, für den ich fast das 10-fache bezahlt habe dessen, was man im Allgemeinen dafür bezahlt. Oder die Taxipreise, die für uns gerne mal ein ungenau vielfaches dessen kosten, was ein Nepalese bezahlen würde. </p>
<p><a href="http://travelogue.hirschler.net/photos/photo/1535001634/2007-10-1012-17-14KatmanduNepal.html" class="tt-flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2376/1535001634_963b523eaa_o.jpg" alt="2007-10-10_12-17-14_Katmandu_Nepal" width="500" height="331" border="0" /></a> </p>
<p>Eines allerdings war genau gleich: Die Art, sich über den Schuh zu beugen, den Leim einzustreichen in den vorher aufgerauhten Spalt zwischen Sohle und Leder, einen Faden mit einem scharfen Spatel abzutrennen, der Geruch in dem kleinen Raum, die gelbbraune Farbe, all das erinnerte mich an den alten Schuster in meinem Heimatdorf.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First time in Nepal, and Kathmandu is, well, overwhelming &#8211; to say the least. Still, being at <a href="http://www.radiosagarmatha.org">Radio Sagarmatha</a> proves to be a challenge worth the trip: The journalists are eager to learn, the debating culture is well developed in this country, so discussions are lively and progress is happening. We do basic training as well as advanced and the setting is just to my liking: A one-house, one-antenna, one-program kind of station.<br />

Being a Community Radio, Radio Sagarmatha is like a micro public service broadcaster, well connected with their audience.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“Was so alles passieren kann” wäre ein einfacher, treffender Titel für den heutigen Tag. Heute nachmittag 16h in Hilversum losgefahren, mit dem Taxi zum Bahnhof. Der Taxifahrer schleichwegt kongenial durchs Hilversumer Villenviertel und liefert mich schneller als gedacht am Bahnhof ab &#8211; wo ich erst mal den nächsten Geldautomaten ansteuerte, mangels Bargeld. </p>
<p>Dort angekommen kann ich nur den Verlust meiner EC-KArte festestellen. Kreditkarte? Ja, aber kein PIN, zumindest nicht in den Regionen meines Gehirns, zu denen ich Zugang habe. Zurück in der Bahnhofshalle kommt mir der Taxifahrer freundlich mit meinen beiden Koffern entgegen. Sein Kreditkartenleser war dann doch aufgetaucht, sein Problem also gelöst. </p>
<p>Nachdenken, wo habe ich zum letzten Mal mit EC bezahlt? Gestern beim Mittagessen. Der Beleg? Eine Telefonnummer? Ein Telefonanruf! EC-Karte liegt vor. Ja, sie wird meinem Bruder ausgehändigt, wenn er sie abholen kommt. Ihn anrufen, Fahrplan checken, gg. 20h in Köln-Deutz.</p>
<p>In Düsseldorf raus, Tochter und deren Mutter begrüßen, kurze Pizza-Pause, wir feiern den letzten Schultag vor den Herbstferien, verabschieden uns nochmal ordentlich für die drei Wochen. Löwen soll ich mitbringen, Giraffen oder sonstiges Getier. Wofür ist Nepal eigentlich bekannt in den Zoos und Kinderbüchern dieser Welt? Ich werde nachsehen und berichten. </p>
<p>Wieder hoch auf den Bahnsteig. Der Regionalexpress nach Köln hat &#8211; nicht unerwartet, eher befürchtet, genau soviel Verspätung, dass potentiell der Anschluß nach Frankfurt in Köln futsch ist. Wenn das nicht die Bahn wäre, bei der die zusammengenommenen Verspätungen irgendwie dann doch wieder Sinn machen. Ich rechne gemeinsam mit dem freundlich-lakonischen Zugschaffner. “Könnte” heißt es, “ne, ne, dat wird schon!”</p>
<p>Wir sind in Deutz, mein Bruder reicht mir die Karte an, wir umarmen uns, die kleinen Sachen die klappen sind doch größer als die großen, bei denen was schief geht. Wir rollen über den Rhein in den Kölner Hauptbahnhof.</p>
<p>“ ICE 17 steht abfahrbereit auf Gleis 5!” Sprint mit zwei Koffern an der Hand durchs Gemenge. </p>
<p>Die Bereitschaft zumk Abfahren war dann doch zu groß, der Zug ist weg. Der nächste, passend um 10 Minuten verspätet, soll demnächst einfahren. Zug kommt. Einsteigen. Erste Klasse. Nur zweite bezahlt. Die ist voll. Das Mass dessen, was man so hinnimmt, irgendwie auch schon. Also Erste. Hinsetzen. Zug fährt &#8211; nicht. Zug &#8211; Durchsage: “Wegen eines Defekt am Triebwagen verzögert sich die Abfahrt auf unbestimmte Zeit.” </p>
<p>Und dann: “Die Abfahrt kann in 2 Minuten erfolgen!” Welch’ Präzision in der Vorhersehbarkeit. Schön, dass unser Verständnis, auch wenn’s vielleicht gar nicht vorhanden war, so netten Dank findet. Siegburg, Montabaur, Limburg, wenn jetzt nurmehr wenig schief geht, kann’s morgen losgehen nach Kathmandu.</p>
