... Children School&#8217; in Kathmandu. <br><br>De Brick Children school in Tikathali, Kathmandu<br>De bergbewoners uit de Himalaya en de Annapurna zakken elk jaar voor 6 maanden af naar de vallei van Kathmandu. Ze gaan er werken in de &#8216;Brickfactories&#8217;, de plaatselijke steenbakkerijen. <br><br>De kinderen moeten met de ouders mee naar de hoofdstad. Ze verlaten de bergschooltjes voor zes maand. Om de kinderen toch onderwijsmogelijkheden te geven ...

... cables que estaban sueltos. Nadie entendía nada ya que en ningún momento tuvieron la delicadeza de avisarnos que se había descompuesto. Lo arreglaban con hilos, arrancaban, hacían 2 km y se volvía a romper, y volvíamos a parar por 20 minutos más. Una pesadilla. Lo más loco fue que éramos los únicos que trataban de averiguar cuál era el problema, mientras que los otros turistas aprovechaban todas las paradas para fumar sin decir una sola palabra. Como era un bus ...

... the middle. The ride was uneventful, but man do they take care of you, 4 hour flight, we got pre meal drink service, a full on meal, and after meal drink service. We finally touchdown in Nepal and it is cloudy and rainy, so the monk got as good a view of the Himalayas as I did from the aisle. The Kathmandu airport in Nepal is a complete cluster-****. There are no jetways, everyone just walks across the tarmac to this little brick ...

... Very funny have to say as appallingly bad. Obviously didn't understand a word but plot was pretty basic with the obligatory dancing and singing scenes throughout. No kissing even though it was a love story but lots of longing looks! The kids enjoyed it anway which was the main thing.<br>I now have a group of 56 15 and 16 year olds to teach at the school. Let's just say I have had to deal with my fear of public speaking very quickly! I teach two groups each day apart from ...

... on the rooftops flying their kites.<br> <br>I also had a bit of a chat with a Kiwi lady who is travelling with her husband and had some great tips to offer regarding places to eat and where to get laundry done...so not a bad day although mentally I feel shattered!<br><br><br><br>Sunday 6 September<br><br><br><br>Day 3 of my Nepali lessons. I arrived a little late after dropping off my laundry and eating a cheese scone and coffee for breakfast. A better option than yesterday ...

... your problem, but he wants your money, too. you should have come to me."<br>welcome to the resourceful psyche of the nepali people. if i had asked him to, the manager would have paid for my visa and put it on the hotel bill. i never would have thought of that.<br>after a few drinks in the hotel bar (and yes, i am drinking. no big deal), and another bar we were led to (and then abandoned at) by some drunk australians, we called it a night.<br>leaving ...

... to drink alone, I'll simply wait for other drinkers to one day show up. Either way, it's OK with me.<br> <br>Surya's friends who were supposed to show up, didn't, so we went to the festival without them. I took a lot of pictures, most of them not too good. Bad lighting and hard to get through the crowds. The colours, costumes, and food offerings are elaborate. I wish I could have captured the real colour and feel of it but this camera and this photographer just couldn't get it right.

... all but the last question so they proceeded to guess and after careful deliberation, they decided that I must be 22...And this class gets an "A" !!! :) Sweet lovely things! Haha.<br><br>The grade ones were a totally different story. Not only did they not sit, they ran around and up to me, yelled incessantly in sheer excitement, hit each other with their papers and proceeded to climb onto the window sills. Once in a while they looked at the ...

... our own names for all the landmarks like 'crazy guy square' and 'alternative chowk'. We had a yak cheese guy, a cycle rickshaw kid, a CD shop guy, a Buddha's Eyes embroidery guy, a hemp lady, a falafel guy and a corner of our own at the OR2K vegetarian restaurant where we wore as hole into the chillout cushions. The owners of the guesthouse were becoming too friendly and we were ready to roll after a large courier delivery back to Oz for my shop. The postage was so ...
