The day before all starts...
We live comfortably, indeed. It is clean, cozy and relatively secluded - in the middle of Boudha, within the compound of the White Gompa.
We had Rinpoche, Johanna, Svea and Ulrika over for tea this afternoon. I bought some pastries in a café at the stupa and managed to spill coffee all over the kitchen.

Before that, I went to the Grand Hyatt, did a 35 minute workout (strength), and went for a short swim. Then sauna (as if I need it in this heat) - and then home. Staffan was studying all day.
Tomorrow the whole thing starts for real. I am very happy I switched to Classical Tibetan - intermediate colloquial would have been painful....

We have had a week full of .. auspicious things... Shamar's death - so sudden, and unexpected, made me dig for photos of his visit in Sweden. The picture above is a nice one, I think...

Arrived Kathmandu
Hot hot hot + intensive showers.
Very intensive first day.
Sönam assures me I will be ok in intermediate class.... I sure hope so.. A bit scared. Staffan tired, but otherwise ok.

Staffan guided and helped this lovely American couple
He, Luther, a world war II veteran ( he had been EVERYWHERE) and, she, Connie, a chic ex-highschool teacher. Lovely couple.
