mount everest



hiking up to everest base camp is one of the things that has made me the happiest in life so far :) it made me happy then and it makes me happy every time i think about it xx it's an amazing place in the planet! i knew i wanted to walk there one day and once i really got there on that full moon day i got an eerie feeling that i could die and i'd be happy... then j disappeared in the mountain and i though 'what the hell am i thinking of?...' it was odd to feel someone i had just met a few days before could have just died like that... the sherpas were not so supportive on our night searches telling me my friend had died... and i was really really happy to see him get back to BC in the morning :) his peaceful smile sleeping that morning is still with me and that moment still makes me think a lot. anyway, i camped up there, but there is a great place to stay at base camp - it's called hotel california :D and if you stay there i can promise you'll have some great chats with tenzin ;) he read my fortune with regular playing cards but i can't quite remember the revelations... hotel california is also a great place to eat and it has good music! i hope everyone at EBC is alright... but that's somehow unlikely (thanks j, great trek!)
