Nepal-The day before

Well, welcome to my first blogpost :) At the moment it is 10:50 pm and even if I`m trying to sleep since almost an hour.. I can`t. I think I´m just too nervous and excited about tomorrow. So I´ve been lying in bed for a while, trying to figure out what to write or not. Right now I have so many different thoughts in my mind.. I really don`t know where to start. But I will try to organize them so I won`t write a complete mess.

 

Some of you might wonder why I´m so excited about tomorrow... Well, tomorrow I will fly to Nepal, Kathmandu. I will stay there for about three months, working for a project which was raised by friends of my parents. 

They founded an orphanage which gives home to 12 children at the moment. So mainly I am going to care about the children, help them with their homework and play with them in their free time. Moreover, I`m also going to teach German in their school and I´m already soo excited about that!! I mean, I´m actual not a real teacher and I have no idea how to deal with eight different classes and give homework and stuff like that but I think I will figure it out :) 

I really can`t wait to see the children!! I`ve already heard so many stories about them and I`m just so happy that I`m going to meet them in 2 days.

 

But to be honest, of course I´m sooooo looking forward to tomorrow, but then I´m actually a little bit scared as well....

Well first, I have to survive the flight.. I mean, who knows, maybe the plane will crash?!.. (I`m indeed scared of that... I really hate flying !!) 

Then of course (what might be more realistic..) I have no idea how I will get along with the children and the other people in the orphanage. Maybe they won`t like me or won`t listen or whatever.. I have nooo idea!!! 

Also, I will be in the middle of a complete other culture and way of living... Of course I love seeing and experiencing new things, especially cultures, but everything is going to be completely new and different and I think it`s normal to be scared about that. 

 

Okay, enough with negative thoughts.... 

 

So today is the day before I´m going to start my journey.... The last days I went shopping a lot and finally I`ve got all my stuff together... and packed ! On the one hand it seems as if I have packed my whole closet and sooo much stuff and I´m actually scared that my suitcase is way too heavy... but then it feels as if I haven´t packed enough.... There are soo many things I want to take with me!!! Unluckily my suitcase is already more than full. So I guess the first thing I´m gonna do as soon as I arrive will be shopping :D 

 

Okay, I think this is enough for today... and I´m really tired now, so I´ll try to get some sleep.

Good night xxx
