人生百态

景区的舞者

迷惑行为的母子

离开了外孙女的外婆

没了高薪的打工狗

在门可罗雀的商业服务大厅，还有身着正装，认真引导客人的服务人员

在GoogleMaps上逛到比利时城郊，砖结构的房屋外墙没有什么装饰，色调单一，街道上几乎遇不见人，看不到商店

锵锵行天下，罗朗独自跟旁边的无人光顾的小店买了些东西

Fwd: 农村

若干年后，我们上一代人都走了以后，农村又是谁的？

端午回去了一趟，感到特别的一种安静，一是因为已是夏初，每个季节的味道对我来说都是不同的，另一个是整个村子极少有年轻人回来。我最近又把那几天的感觉跟日本联系在了一起，虽然没去过日本，但是从日本的一些电影中可以感受到那种氛围。例如《菊次郎的夏天》《步履不停》，更准确的我第一个想起来的竟然是《入殓师》。

极致跋涉

I bring a lot of my own baggage into these trips, and I'm looking for my own Spirituality and I'm looking for my own Peace. And I'm looking from a deeper level of my own  understanding, both about how I want to live and how I see myself living in this world.

It's an incredible process of really understanding where your limitations are. And a chance to connect with nature and connect with beautiful places.

To come here and do this, it's really been a dream come true.

Nature, it can reach absolutely anyone and inspire anyone, I think that whether you're Buddhist or born or Hindu or Muslim or anything. you will get something from pushing yourself, physically, mentally and emotionally around these amazing mountains and these inspiring landscapes.

And to be able to get off the grid and to just walk is a very spiritual thing.

Namgyal Sherpa

https://detroit2nepal.org/about/who-was-namgyal-sherpa/

Namgyal Sherpa

Namgyal Sherpa was born and raised in the Sherpa village of Shim Kharka, in the district of Khotang, one of 75 districts in Nepal. Lacking a formal education, he rose through the ranks from porter to sirdar (lead guide) on Everest expeditions on 8000 meter peaks. He led many expeditions, summited Everest ten times by his early 30's and regularly led Himalayan rescue operations. He was a promoter and the leader of the "Extreme Everest Expedition 2010", guiding a Nepali team to clean approximately 4,000 pounds of garbage and remove a number of corpses from the "death zone", located above 8,000 meters or 26,500 feet.

Namgyal was considered a luminary in the Khotang District for both his expedition achievements and philanthropic work. He worked his notoriety not for self gain, but rather to help the children in Khotang. Together with his mountaineering and trekking company, Mountain Consult, he sponsored underprivileged children for school scholarships. Because these students were of a low caste, low socioeconomic status and of a female gender, they had been excluded from school.

Namgyal was instrumental in introducing D2N to the traditions and, more importantly, the villagers in this region, helping to gain their trust and encourage involvement in programs for the betterment of their communities.

Sadly, Namgyal passed away in May 2013 on a descent from the summit of Everest. His spirit and infectious enthusiasm will never be forgotten. His memory will remain an integral part of D2N.

Anyone that was lucky enough to have met Namgyal is better for having known him.

Namgyal's chorten (a Buddhist memorial to his life) sits above the sacred lake in Bane, above the villages where Namgyal grew up and later worked. His body still lies 600 meters below the summit of Mt. Everest.

10 times Everest summiter Namgyal Sherpa dies on Everest

In total shock, disgust and unbelieve, we need to confirm that our beloved friend, partner and director Namgyal Sherpa (36) has died on Mt Everest near 8300m at 16 May 2013 because of heart failure.

Together with Galden Sherpa, Namgyal had successfully guided our client to the 8848m high summit of Everest the same morning. It was Namgyals 10th summit of Everest. However, the celebration did not last long. On the way down Galden witnessed how Namgyal suddenly collapsed at 8300m. When he reached his location, Namgyal complained about not feeling well and pointed to his heart. Just a few moments later Namgyal did not move again and had died.

Namgyal was remarkable man with a remarkable life. After he was born as a son of a poor family in the remote district of Khotang, Nepal, he fled his home town at a young age. He survived in Kathmandu, living under very poor circumstances, but eventually got the opportunity to work for an expedition company. Thanks to his exceptional strength, motivation, talents and charme and kindness, he worked his way from porter to cook eventually becoming senior climbing guide on 8000m+ expeditions. He has guided clients to the summits of Mt Everest, Cho Oyu, Shishapangma and many other 6000m & 7000m peaks in the Himalayas working as head guide for Explore Himalaya and later in his own company Mountain Consult.

What made Namgyal extraordinary was his motivation to help people in need and his support for the natural mountain environment. Namgyal was a.o. founder of the first Extreme Everest Expedition in 2010, an all-Nepali expedition to clear the highest slopes above 8000m of Everest of 2000kg/ 4000lbs of waste, and two dead bodies. In collaboration with local and international NGOs, he has greatly increased local access to clean water and modern hygiene facilities in his home region Khotang, he soly created the Everest documentary 'Snow' and was head guide for the Everest Peace Project, Climbing for Water's High Tea project and he voluntarily put the famous Ranan Lurie's Art on the summit of Everest (UN project).

Namgyal was married to Doma Sherpa. They did not have children.

那些事儿

让我意外的是时隔有两年，当时那个还不太满意的师傅约我吃了个饭，鼓励鼓励了

一种香味让我想起了一个国家

改变

至少我接触了那么一些人，他们在能力及为人都让我欣然接受，可是处在当前这么一个因为历史原因造就的工作模式下，大家只能随波逐流，做一天和尚敲一天钟，无心改变，也无力改变！

味道

去过几个国家，如今回忆起来，有两个地方的味道印象深刻。一个是喜马拉雅山脉尼泊尔，虽然城市的环境不好，但感觉到的还是特有的清新（或许不太准确）。另外一个是南半球的印尼，住在高层酒店能感受到那种潮湿却又是清新的感觉。

向少女峰

皑皑白雪中徒步了4个多小时将近7公里

植物祭•芦荟

养了一年多的我们的芦荟，叶子有时软有时硬，出了几辦新叶子没多久，离开十来天，她们又都烂了，再见了！

逛街

傍晚，初露繁华的商场外，两个工人在做外墙清洁，就跟我们在家里偶尔做的大扫除一样，而这是他们此刻的工作，也许是赖以生计的工作。

商场内，在一个人来人往的店铺旁开着一个无人问津的小店，这里卖的婴儿用品是我们在其他大的专营店里能买到的，甚至我自己也不会去买的，店员也许一天都不会有跟人说话的机会。

家里的桂花树
一个枝依附着另一个
在深秋桂花满院飘香

去卢塞恩

在因特拉肯买了票，三月份并不是旺季，大多数是当地人周末去滑雪，上了去卢塞恩的火车，车上有暖气，便脱了鞋子、袜子，抽出鞋垫烘起来，确实之前徒步途中已经在山上晒了脚，并且确实太阳大干的很快，摊开了脚，舒服的眯起来。

瑞士

欧洲估计再也没机会去了，更别说瑞士了。一直遗憾在少女峰的视频没有保留下来，当时还正好遇上一直升机在降落又飞走。也没有赶上绿色的季节，竟然在一片白雪皑皑中徒步了好几个小时，还得到一帮滑雪大码的帮助。我们是从北走到南，又从南走到北，在火车站换💰，在车站旁落脚。最大的遗憾是时间太短，错过了太多需要感受的东西。
