dargeeling
Dargeeling is cold and wet but everyone seems so much happier here and there is far less hassle from people in the streets. It is quite refreshing after all the heat from the south.
Last night when i got to dargeeling i decided to go wandering. The town sits on top of a ridge on the top of a mountain and i decided i wanted to try and get to the top. All the way up the views were amazing because it is monsoon season and there is just cloud everywere. Sometimes you look out and you can only see about ten feet infront of you then it is all cloud. It feels like youre floating in the sky because you dont know how high you are. Other times there will be a hole through the clouds and there will be rolling hills covered in green tea plants and in the distance theres snow topped peaks floating on top of the cloud.
Anyway i kept going up through the winding streets and it started to get mistier and darker and i got to this little place with a tumbedown shack and some tibetan flags. It was getting late so i thought about going back when a nepali guy came up to me and said hey and asked me to follow him. He took me further up the hill and into an army camp to see a church. It was just such a warm, friendly, happy place. I went in and sat down and said a little prayer for everyone in my family that believed in god and died and i thought about my mum and granny and i started to cry at the thought that they couldnt see just how happy i was. And i thought it was just such random luck that i would come there and meet that guy and see the church and all because i had just been following my gut instinct. It was amazing. It just made me really happy.
