Received gifts from special person...

| During training period at Park village resort, kathmandu, Nepal |
I created this blog long time ago but didn't use it. Months ago, someone suggested me to start blogging but I didn't. Today I received two boxes full of gifts from her, shipped all the way from far away. These gifts are not just beautiful but reminder of our deep friendship and affection. Every moment we spent together are unforgettable and still with so much time apart, I miss her so much. I can't bring back those days but I can always cherish them. Finally, today I will accept her suggestion and write this first post in the name of our friendship and my love and gratitude to her.
Hatheway Rwalinson lives in other side of the earth (ie, USA). I met her in December 2013 during 14 days program "Conflict transformation across Culture (CONTACT)" in Kathmandu, Nepal. The first day of that program, organizers appointed me a room which I had to share with a lady from United states. We were of same age, and perfect combination of : young, wild and crazy. At the beginning, to remember her name was quite difficult for me. So, I break down the name into two words "Hathe" and "Way". Hathe means hand in Nepali and way is a road or track. Kind of easy to remember. ;)

So, I hold her hand and we walked on a beautiful garden of the Resort. We took a lot of pictures and shared same room for 15 days. During our time together, sometimes we cried, sometimes we laughed and sometimes we had childhood memories, high school love, struggles and cultures to share, staying awake all night long. And some secrets too ;) .
One thing I will never forget is her teasing me for wearing funny pink pyjama at night. Until the end of the training we fought and ,shared dresses and cosmetics, danced and shared meals with each other. We were different shades of sisters and had known each other form long time.
On fifteenth day, I was so happy to know that she is staying 15 more days at Kathmandu and her friend had just arrived to see her from India. Even then, together we had a lot of fun. I started walking on a streets of Thamel, which I never did. Visiting Durbars and temples around Kathmandu, eating on restaurants, bargaining for a taxi fair, buying earrings. It was fun unlimited with someone new in familiar land ;).
