Pokahara a small time out

After the last hair-raising week, I finaly made the decision to stay. But as long as I will work for the trekking agency, I will do the most stuff as a freelancer and manage my time as also working way by myself. So with that I’m not kept inside the dark office and can discover Nepal in small day trips around the city. Like right now I’m working outside with a beautiful view on the lake of Pokahara, chilled in pillows with a good coffee in my hand. In comparison to Kathmandu, Pokahara is wonderful chilled, silent, relaxing and surrounded by wonderful nature. For relaxation and getting the head free definitely the right place to be. 😉

Back from heaven…..

Manja’s little castle

The Flat hunting in the city jungle finaly came to an end, I think the universe has a reason for its obscure secret paths. From one to the other moment I had my small castle in the pocket and could move in directly on the next day. I even have, two small chandeliers decorating my Balcony.

Even though everything is still a little hectic and chaotic (I think this is just the common way here) I feel really good and landed by now. Finaly a place out of the big crowd off noise, horns and full streets. For Thamel the (tourist area), the place where I life now is really quiet and peaceful, surrounded by a Tibetan community. Thru the quiet sound from my neighbour hotel, that every night has another live Band on stage, I probably will know all old Nepalese songs, and can sing them in sleep at the end.

Bistaarai, Bistaarai

I can’t definitely say that I get bored over here, sometimes I ask myself where the time is going. Like always I want too many things at one time and after a while I’m getting to the point that it is just too much at one time. The biggest and most exhausting project by now is my self-confidence and the practice in patience and silence. Bistaarai, Bistaarai, slowly slowly one of the most important words over here, you should definitely remember it intensively and get it out ones or twice a day, to not completely lose your countenance ones in a while.

Working way

At the moment I’m jumping in my working fields and tasks a lot. In between I’m working for three different company’s at one time, sometimes I don’t even understand the system and what I’m doing here completely by myself. But at least I learned by now to set my priorities and manage my time schedule properly. I guess another way won’t be really possible over here, soft overtaxing is giving about my person, because I really want to work I mean really. In this case it is not the worst thing that I’m working at the same time for Keep (off course as the top office), the trekking agency and the project for the orphanage home. At the beginning or still I find it quiet hard to see as also find myself in the Position I’m in at the moment. I’m creating the whole appearance for the trekking agency in a new way and try to make it more efficient. On my question about the Cooperate Identity and who the company is, means about us, I became silence and question marks as answer. So my main Intention right now is to create a good company profile and picture, change the existing one and make the best out of it. The presence in the Internet is everything or nothing in this business and at the moment more close to nothing… At the beginning it was pretty hard for me to find myself in this place and position, as a prover, creator and changer in this direction. A bit, because I had a completely different picture in my head of the Internship before, on the other hand because normally something fully trained qualified person should be put on this kind of jobs. But let me say by now I found myself for a really high qualified person for this jobs and giving my best to reach my demands or get them down.

My time management and works huddle is created by myself, even thou I’m still working to quick and too much, what I hear every day again. Bistaarai, Bistaarai, how I already said before one of the most important words over here, and just in case I won’t have something to do in the office in between, I got told to relax more and enjoy my time. (In other words get yourself on Facebook ^^). The relaxing is not so easy in this dark small rooms, also every day I need to close my eyes and take a big breath about the working conditions and moral here. The overhead company H.G. is let it me say in this way a little suspect to me, they have cameras in the whole office, well I think this is non sense and its just for controlling the people as maybe also for showing off as a company that goes with the time. Also the employees have to check out and in with their fingerprint to control the working time.   What I found really strange, as I wanted to go for a coffee after work with my colleges, that everybody leaves the office at different times, so to show it like this, we waited 10 minutes behind the corner to meet up with another college and the next one catches up with us after 15 min. The Explanation for this was that the Boss from H.G. doesn’t really like to see it when they finished work together at the same time, or to say it like this have contact after work and in private life.

But in a completely different way is the working athmosphair and climate in the office, the mood is funny and happy, chips and coffee breaks, Facebooks talking as well as a really dark and funny humour in small chats is a part of the daily office live.

College life in the beauty salon

In the meantime I discovered the best way to communicate with my colleges from KEEP, even sometimes it is still complicated and I’m getting on my limit ones in a while (as I said self-confidence). To picture it that way, I think we are having a really serious conversation to solve a problem, in a sudden a big tumult is going on. At the beginning I always thought something really bad and important happened, somehow in a weird and obscure way it did every single time. Just today it was:  “ oh god no”, “what?”, “did you hear that already? I can’t believe it”; “Angelina is getting divorced from brad, he cheated on her”. After such shocking news and moments, the most of the times it is difficult to continue the conversation we had before, so you should take it easy ,with lots of calmness and put the conversation on the next day or the day after that and begin again from point zero. As I said Bistaarai, Bistaarai everything has its time.

But if you start to adapt the way how priorities ley here and a little bit the way of thoughts and thinking, ever thing is going a way better and easier. So in this case I tried the first time in my life a Nepali beauty salon, a really exiting and funny adventure. I didn’t even started to explain how short or not I won’t my hair, or was sitting fully on the chair, my hair was gone for the half already. But I really need to say for 80 cents, I have a top hairstyle by now, I feel like I jumped out of the 80s into 2016. By now I’m highly delight by it and integrated in the female collegium.
