Getting tired from the chaos of Kathmandu, I decided to go on a trek/relax session during a holiday called Dasai. Dasai is basically the Nepali version of Christmas except it is 12 days long and gambling/drinking is a major part of the celebration(my kind of holiday). I finally concluded that I should go up to the mountains, so I headed to the western part of Nepal and hung out for a few days.In a village called Muktinath(3710meters) I decided to take some time and think while I sat outside of a temple amongst the peaceful beautiful mountains. I would like to say that I came up with some profound view on life, a new insight into my religious beliefs, or something that really brought my life into focus, but alas I did not.
Even so, one of the things that did run through my head in the small moments of clarity that I had was this:
"I still think Picard is better than Kirk."
Perhaps that is profound enough.
