O.k. so just a quick update.  I figure if I can manage this then I will not be writing a 300 page book every time. So the load shedding (the amount of electricity being taken away from these people) instructed by the government is up to 10 hours a day. That means no one can study, work, no surgeries, baby deliveries, internet etc. It’s making people angry. This is the most load shedding they have had in many, many years. Most think it is another scam for from the maoists party (prime minister is a maoist) because of the new government that many, many parties are struggling for trying to be constructed. The reason in the paper says it’s because of no rain fall……everything is powered by water. The thing is Nepal is the 2nd largest country of this resource. So Pretty much just living in the dark. Another interesting thing is Nepal is the poorest country in Asia….it sure does not feel like it. It looks like it but does not feel like it.

I have moved to a village outside of Kathmandu about 45 min away. I am living with Yagya and his 4 cousins. Two are twins (I would say 20-21 years of age) a younger brother 17 and a female cousin who is sick right now at 36 years old who has 4 kids the oldest is 14 years old. It is a good change and quiet out there.

Do not think I gave up on my Guru though!!!! Ha ha ha ha. Seriously though I checked into many meditation yoga places and almost all of them only wanted to give me a few sessions to just make money…I just felt like I was getting robbed. So I met this Guru through a Guru at the gym I am working out at. He is very, very serious about what he is doing. Last week was my first week and almost quit because of how intense it was and honestly I still thought it was a bunch of bull shit, a a waste of my time………..It’s not. What he is teaching me is a lot more than just stretching….really. but I had to go in with an empty heart and mind. Actually he said I should just leave if I did not want to really learn because then it would just be useless for him and I……he had a point. So I stayed. Only now am I actually learning something from him about the yog. Also because I chose him as my Guru I cannot truly know what yog is about until he thinks I am knowledgable enough and ready……..ready to teach and truly practice it that is. I am hoping it is not more than 2 months cause damn do I want to get to the beaches of Thailand!! I am practicing and studying 6 days a week and it has been roughly from 7-10 in the morning…but no set time. I know it sounds fishy and it is definitley not a job with no pay and actually vice versa I am donating to him, but you know I don’t care…..Also you are probably thinking has Camen gone of the deep end??!!!…..still on the shallow end!!!
This is probably the last time I will talk about the yog b/c it’s a little to heavy I know. It’s too much for me too……..but I cannot just quit. I have not quit anything thus far, why start now?

For christmas I heard of one hell of a christmas eve party at a 5 star hotel in Thamel……..lights, trees the whole works!! so I am gonna party down for christmas and celebrate Jesus. Not too much of course. I mean the partying….As far as Jesus…He deserves a huge celebration in his name!! Also there might be some cute tourists there.

Merry Christmas and Happy holidays!!!!!!

Love
Camen
