"Strangers Met in Nam Co (2) Nam Co (I)

After a few days of rest in Lhasa, she set off for Namtso. Before arriving in Tibet, she had decided to visit Namtso and Mount Everest Base Camp. Since the Everest Base Camp is higher, she decided to go to Nam Co first.

There are tour groups going to Namtso every day, but most tourists travel for one day, that is, they arrive at noon, have lunch there, and then leave for a while. She decided to spend the night there, and it would be difficult for a travel agency, because there are also some homestay options consisting of large tents, and many tourists like her to spend the night there to enjoy the night of Namtso.

She got on the big bus arranged by the travel agency in the morning, and it took almost four hours to reach Nam Co. When she arrived at Namtso and put her luggage in the big tent, she met him again.

Anyone who has gone out to participate in local tours should have experience. People may report groups in different travel agency outlets, but the companies that actually undertake the itinerary are often not those travel agencies. It turned out that they all participated in the same team's itinerary, but they were arranged on different shifts, so they didn't meet until they reached Namtso. Two Cantonese-speaking people, so naturally traveling together Namu was wrong.

At that time, it was summer. In Tibet, the noon sun is very hot and uncomfortable. So both of them hid in the tent hall. While drinking tea and eating snacks, we were chatting with each other. From music, to life, from life, to love concept.

He broke up with his ex-girlfriend for more than a year and is now at ease alone.

"Aren't you twenty-seven years old? Didn't your parents urge you to get married?"

"My mother has nagged me, but what can I do? And I still feel that I am more comfortable by myself. I will think about it in a few years. It doesn't matter if a man gets married later.

"What about you? Why did you come to Tibet by yourself? Where's your boyfriend?"

"I'm alone, I don't have a date, I don't have friends, so I came alone. Isn't there a restaurant in the hostel we live in? Its water sign says 'Don't take the usual way, only love strangers'. Or, I just want to come Find a stranger to love in Tibet.”

They smiled at each other and fell silent.

Afterwards he said to take a nap, leaving her in the hall by herself.

Take a nap! What a fun habit. she thinks.

She writes travel notes in the hall. Suddenly I remembered that a friend once asked her a question:

Traveling alone, won't you be lonely?

Maybe because she is afraid of loneliness, she likes to travel. In another country, or there are a group of lonely souls scattered, let people meet in a short time, leave good memories, and then leave separately.

Perhaps, because of the fear of loneliness, she would rather sit in the hall and write rather than go back to her room. The room was too quiet for her. On the contrary, the hall gave her a sense of peace and tranquility. She liked the feeling that someone was walking around, but everyone was separate.

This person who was afraid of loneliness but chose loneliness, wrote and wrote in the hall, and it was more than four o'clock. The weather was not so hot by then, so she decided to go out for a walk.
