We just bought a car!

Yes! We just bought a Mitshubishi Pajero :)

We found the car on the Internet and we planned to meet the owner this afternoon. We were so excited I was giggling the whole time while we were waiting (around an hour or so, because he had some trouble finding the way to our hostel). We had already started to make plans for what to do with our new car before we even saw it so in our minds we had already bought it; and when that's the way we feel - that's the way it's going to be according to the law of attraction (which is as powerful and real as the law of gravity). The law of attraction says that whatever you give your attention to (which actually means what you feel) you will bring into your life-experience. So today we felt that we had bought this great car, and at the end of the day we had actually bought a great car :) We are so pleased. We'll stay at Kookaburra Inn until Friday and then we'll get our car and start heading out of the city and to the coast and the beaches :) We have learned now, just like we did after living three years in Oslo, that we are not city-people. We like it more quiet and closer to nature:)

Today JT bought a new t-shirt at Kathmandu with a fabulous print: Living the dream. I just LOVE it! That t-shirt just says it all! And on the back of our new car there's a sticker that says: Count your blessings. We could count for days! We have so much to be grateful for. We are truly blessed :)

Life is good :)

The other day JT got a language lesson. He went into a restaurant to use the bathroom and asked the waitress if he could borrow the bathroom (that's a direct translation from what you would say in Norway). The waitress then asked him where he wanted to take it. JT didn't understand what she ment, and stood there really lost, mumbled and went into the bathroom thinking that it was an australian joke he didn't understand. When we went pass the same restaurant today we finally got it: in english you ask if you can USE the bathroom, not borrow it! Not everything can be directly translated from norwegian to english... Even though it took us a couple of days to figure that out, we don't ever stop learning new things (I guess we are slow-learners)

The next thing we really have to learn is to drive on the left side of the road. Scary!!
