Bloody cold day. Made getting out of bed really hard, even if I only have a shitty blanket covering me. The cold shower was an experience I never want to go through again, dont care how badly I smell. Slow office day as the printer was goign haywire.... Read more >

Saturday - a day off! With the free time I headed out to Patan, a suburb of Kathmandu. Gathering up enough nerve to use the public buses was hard, but I was determined to save paying 2 dollars for a taxi. It became even harder when I reached the bus ... Read more >

A very slow start today as I had a horrible cold the night before. Made sleeping difficult, so I struggled to get out of bed. After crawling to a breakfast of "Special Oat Porridge" (I was brave) and toast, it was late enough in the day for ... Read more >

Today I impressed my fellow staff with a few phrases of Nepali like "how are you". Unfortunately I hadn't read as far as what the answers meant, so I had no idea if they were good or bad. I just nodded my head and said thats good to hear. ... Read more >

Today, being the 14th day and all, marks a whole fortnight of me being away from good ol' Aus! In a few weeks I'll probably look back and laugh, but it feels like a bit of a landmark. Not a great deal happened today. Somehow I have accummulated a vast ... Read more >

I'm getting pretty damn sick of power shortages. They are always happening at the most inconvenient times; the first three hours after i get up and the three hours before bed. Meaning showers are harder in the dark (bad enough having them cold) and no ... Read more >

Saturday is a public holiday, so again I was left to fend for myself. After a late start I went on a long walk to Durbar Square and back. Saw several temples of course, but the funny thing is the Nepali's leave priceless artifacts like statues or carvings ... Read more >

Today's introduction to Nepal was much nicer and a hell of a lot less scary than last night. I woke early due to jet lag and uncertainty of when Pippa would be picking me up. It was freezing cold, but my light had stopped flashing. I soon found out that ... Read more >
