While I can’t say that I was particularly happy with this guy’s uncanny observations about Nepal in this piece, they were uncanny all the same. Although there are hard few entries about Nepal in his blog (there are hard few entries about anything, for that matter), they are more than worth reading. In some of his posts, he accurately captures how Nepal exactly is: relaxed and laid back, beautiful and picturesque, welcoming and home. Here’s the link to one of his posts I really liked. He talks about an assortment of things including his first bungy jump experience.
Then with a 3, 2, and 1, I spread out my arms and dove.
Sweet Mary, mother of Jesus.
Indeed.
I myself had bungy jumped at the Last Resort around a week before I left my Nepal for the States. It is indeed a sensation unlike I had ever experienced in my life: short yet never ending, an ephemeral eternity. While hard few tourists actually know about Nepal’s only bungy line, it’s indeed the longest jump in entire Asia, and perhaps the second or third mightiest in the world. All I can say is, if you ever happen to visit Nepal(which you should), do try Bungy Jumping. If you are brave enough, that is.
