The question is asked: "How are you"...the answer is "fine: If in fact you are fine. Me on the other hand am not so fine...I am catching or should I say, have caught a cold. The remedy I hope is some old Nepalese home remedy. That way I can try something else new.
While walking the neighborhood last evening with two of the boys I noticed a tailor shop and I asked one of the boys about the prices. His reply was "about 150rs". He then proceeded to warn me that I didnt want to shop there because it wasn't "brand name". He said they use their own thread and do their own stitching. To me that sounds like the way to go for clothes especially when the price adds up to about $2 for a shirt vs $8 (or 800rs) for "brand name
4 boys
. I guess if I buy one shirt and it falls apart after one wearing then the lesson only cost me $2.I'm putting together a Powerpoint presentation about our school for our Director to take to our sister school in Wales. If anyone is interesed in seeing the finished product let me know and I will forward one to you. There will be many photos so it will be a slow download if you dont have a highspeed connection.
I walked to work this morning because my schedule has changed and today is one of 4 long days I have in a week. I need to get here early if I want to add an entry and email friends. Altho this a short one there are a few photos.
Peace and Namaste to all!
