What else can I tell you? Ah, well, as I’ve mentioned before, I only talk about where I’ve traveled after I’ve finished the journey. And since my time in Nepal is coming to an end, I can now share everything. I’ll also tell you about where I was before Nepal. Before Nepal, I went to northern Thailand. I was in Chiang Mai, then in Lampang, then in Chiang Rai. First, I was in the mountains, where Doi Chang is – “Doi” means summit – Doi Chang is up at the top. It was beautiful there, the mountain air reminded me of Switzerland. Then I descended into the center, to Chiang Rai. In Chiang Rai, I stayed on the edge near the borders of Laos, Myanmar, and China, right by the river. It was pretty dirty there, but that’s where all of Thailand originally started. That’s where all these peoples came from, then they migrated further, and that’s where the whole capital and culture began. I visited an ancient city where everything is in ruins. That was my journey through Thailand. The pros and cons of traveling in Thailand? I’ll just go over it quickly. Everything is great. Each place is different. But honestly, in Chiang Rai, I felt like I was in an underworld. When I was right there, on the border with Laos and Myanmar, it felt like an underground kingdom. Chiang Mai, on the other hand, felt like the material world, the world of earth – tourists everywhere, all fashionable and dressed up. Chiang Mai is already more like St. Petersburg or Moscow, very much a social hub. Lampang – I was there by chance, just passing through. I liked it. I climbed a mountain and nearly died from all the steep ascents. At the very top, there were a bunch of stupas. It was amazing, really cool. That place felt like the world of the sky, something spiritual, the world of the heart – Lampang. There were no tourists, everything was cheap, but not much to see. Like I said, I was just passing through with my driver, we stopped there. I won’t talk about what’s next yet. Now I’m flying to another country. I’ll probably cross another border, and then I’ll decide where to go from there.
Right now, I’m in Nepal, December 31. Today is a day of solitude for me. I decided that before my flight and everything else, I would wash all my clothes. I’ve had a lot of different impressions here. What kind of impressions? Yesterday, I was at the main crematorium, where they burn people. I was literally standing just a meter away from the funeral pyre with burning bodies – intense. But I understood that this is all part of the system, the matrix, and there’s no need to resist or fear anything. If I’m visiting a place, I have to see everything –
