Number One Gate...

Some people say that passing through a bad moment is taff luck.... I wonder why this is being said! I feel that the worst moment you go through in your life are by the best experiences and lesson you can have. The stuff below that I wrote a few days ago happens on a regular basis. When it happens I really feel low. However, it is something I see like part of this uncredible adventure which Im having fun in, and its here to make it this more special! It also allow me to write in here on a regular basis. Writting is such a great thing when you are in this situations, and Im really loving this writting monologues with myself which after time and long moment of no understanding are in fact just way to balance things up. Being working in the field like this brings you a lots of question about yourself and current situation. The hard part in this is that you have to work out what you really want in a way which does not allow to think of it an othertime. You try to refer to other peoples back home, or about people around you, but you are surrounded of people like you which make it so hard to judge a right balance between home people and yourself. This job is such a tricky one!

Anyway, changing subject, its been a few amazing last days! This Bagh in kasmir is simply breath less experience. After this day of downtime and depress, i woke up the next day on a good vibe! the day was just very proficient, Managed to get a tent from the pakistanese army after 5 hours meeting with lieutnants, colonels, god know who else to sign paper proving that the PK army had given a tent!!! wow, the funny part is that this tent was donated before after the earthquake my us... Anyway, this is not my point in writting tonight.. After this day of good work, I ended at the gate with the guards. The guards are national staff whom make sure the entry of the camp is clear of any threat. I did met a few of them already before that day, but never got into there intimacy of late evenings at the gate. There where they all gather together and talk for ages. That evening two of them, Zen & Kashi decided to take me out the camp for a little walk. We are not allowed normaly to get out the camp after nightfall, but this day, I broke the rule and went with them. We walked only about 3 minutes down to the cliff which dominates the village and its lights! It was an amazing moment where we chatted for so long and where work was not related to any of the conversasion we were having. I was discovering our a Pakistanese live and what are the 30's like for a national person. I havd a simply amazing time, and when we returned we sat all together again at the front gate. These people are beautifull, they are like childs laughing about simple thing such as arguing on about how many continent there is on the planet, and then one would step up and say something funny like "2" and everyone would laugh like kids! Ill try to get a shot of these new friends from the Number one Gate! :)
