Billi…please write a blog about running in Islamabad! I am sure Kathmandu will be missing you a lot.

Billi, das möchte ich schon mal wissen: Kannst Du neben einer so vielbe”fahrenen” lane überhaupt schlafen? Wie siehts mit Erstickungsanfällen wg. der Abgase aus? Und: Ist es auf dem Land unsicherer, warum lebst Du da wo Du lebst?
Ansonsten ganz frische Sommergriaß aus dem Berchtesgadener Land (Hier sinds die Touristen die lawinenartig einfallen…)

Hi Billi,

I echo the previous posts in that I’ve enjoyed your blog. While I’m sorry you’ll be leaving Kathmandu, I’m sure you’ll be very successful in your new endeavor for the U.N. Best of luck in the future!

Hi Billi,

Kathmandu is still the same and I am amazed that roads are still so badly maintained. Nevertheless, it seems to me that change lies in people state of mind. Nepali people are the nicest I’ve ever met and I do miss Nepal when I am away, but underneath the listlessness I now feel a kind of exasperation growing … Anyway, have a nice time in Islamabad. Take good care of you.

Hi Billi glad to know you got back safe and sound. Still don’t know why you love KMD, 3 weeks was enough for me where as forever would not be long enough in Bavaria. Anyway stay safe in Pakistan. Looking forward to the next update. Say hi to Declan and Puru for me.

Hi Billy,

it seems absolutly nothing has changed during my last visit in Nepal in 1998 – on the one side it´s a good news because the People and the country are so loveable – but then it´s also an agrument that there is still much to do to improve the social situation and basically the social system……

all the best for you in dangerous Pakistan and watch out your steps.

Ah, chaos indeed Billi, but life here wouldn’t be the same without it now, would it? It’s nice having you back (even if it is only for a week ;o) and keep up with the great blog – as ever time you post reminds me of how utterly useless I’ve been at keeping my own one up to date….
Smile,
d.

Servus Billi, bin auch aus Oberbayern (Chimgau) und habe auch in KTM meine Wahlheimat gefunden. Wäre schön, dich mal kennenzulernen, und so hoffe ich, du kommst bald aus Pakistan zurück – trotzdem natürlich viel Spaß und Erfolg dort!!!

Schön von Dir zu hören, Billi. Auch ich kann ein Lied davon singen, sich nach der Reise von einem Kontinent zum anderen wieder schlagartig zu Hause zu fühlen. Pass auf Dich auf. Ich denke an Dich.
