stick out like a sore thumb...

The story of my life here. I don't think it is a bad thing necessarily, I think it can be turned into something good. I wish there was a secret camera crew that could capture the reaction of the local people around me. I have a feeling it is extremely comical. I mean I stick out in America, I definitely stick out here. It is not that bad in the "tourist" areas, but I am kind of in a position where I am not a tourist. Of course I stick out more. My goal, to stick out even more by helping, caring, giving, respecting...my time here in KTM is short, use it wisely. This isn't so hard. Pair my upbringing with public service and it is easy to adapt to become efficient and effective in all that I do. Respect is the big lesson here. This is a completely different culture. Everything is different and it is easy to become closed-minded, especially in healthcare. I am constantly around healthcare at home and it is very different. Instead of being hateful to the healthcare here, I should keep helping in every way possible. There are things going on in the emergency department that I can help with. I will never do some of these things in America, but respect for the situation of healthcare in KTM means it is ok, this is how it is done here. So by helping out with an open mind and respect of the culture that I am in I can stick out even more. Life is too short to not stick out...

FYI...MTV or Gambier needs a Buddha Bar...sweet place, so chill...our house went there last night and I am sure we will go again. I may look into becoming a business owner in KC ha.

Tomorrow is the day I start my english teaching career :/ Wish me luck rascals...
