Don't you want to climb a mountain?

All these amazing opportunities.

And I just was deaf to all of them because of how strongly I felt I needed to do this.

Yeah, I don't know.

Maybe in a previous lifetime.

I really don't know.

Whoa.

I mean, I was fascinated by it visually and I knew a bit about Buddhism, but it was just so overwhelming.

And as was the experience I had, there was six months of, well, five months of teaching and then...

some tourism tied to the end.

Wandering about, yeah.

Wandering about India, yeah, and Nepal, both of which were extraordinary.

Should we do it?

I'll do it with you.

Yeah, I want to get at least a base camp in my lifetime.

I would, but then you hear about how much pollution there is, how much tourism and craziness there is, and I kind of go, well, maybe there's a better mountain to walk to.

That would be scary.

Of course it did.

It's such an extraordinary bit of geography, that whole area.

And this is in the foothills, so going towards Darjeeling, and it's a little hill station town called Sanada.
