Hello from Indian Ocean

I can hear the evening prayer from my hotel room..... yes, I have arrived. Surreal to take a boat from the airport to the capital city island. Really interesting, what kind of life await for me here in this country.

When I think about it, it is almost insane I moved here for one or two years without never being here! I have never thought of such a thing, but it is crazy.

I feel lost and miss my friends in Nepal, but the funny thing is that since I have left I already had three chats and two conversation on skype. So thankful to the technology, I feel "connected" all the time. I just said good-bye to my friends but in less than 24 hours we are already talking about my flight, what they are eating for dinner etc etc.

Tomorrow I will be going to the office to meet my new colleagues, do paper work and so forth. I am sure I have much more to report!

赴任地に到着しました。飛行機から見た海の青いこと青いことそして、珊瑚礁のターコイズの色がハッとするほど綺麗。上から高そうなリゾートもいっぱい見えた。泊まっているのはプールこそはないけど、タイレストランに付属しているブティクホテル。パッタイをお腹一杯食べて、ほとんど寝てないので（生まれて初めてビジネスクラスに乗ったのに！）今日は早めに寝ることにしよう。心細い気持ちを噛み締めながら。それにしてもこの気持ちは、どこにいってもいくつになっても同じだな。初めてカナダに留学した時も、YMCAのボロい部屋で不安でかつ手持ち無沙汰な気分を味わったな〜。ここの赴任国も住めば都になりますように。これは妹に電話で言われたこと。ではお休みなさい。
