A few hours ago, I was flat out. No warning. Just collapsed into bed mid-afternoon like someone unplugged me. Kathmandu had taken everything—my energy, my focus, my ability to stand.
But now? I’m up. Refueling with dinner, a little dazed but functional. There’s something about this city that overwhelms and fascinates at the same time. It presses in from all sides, then suddenly lets you breathe.
Nothing a good Nepali coffee can’t fix.
Heading back out now—slow walk, no agenda. Just letting the city unfold again, at its own chaotic pace. Let’s see what the evening brings.
