vegetarian paradise...

I am not technically a vegetarian in American, but over here I guess I am. It is not a bad thing and all of the food I had today was pretty cool. I like how you can use dal bhat as the foundation for such a cool mixture of veggies and stuff...note to self, and it shouldn't be a new note, I should know this: red=spicy/hot/ouch :(
I think my favorite today was the veggie momo (about a buck ;) with a cool sauce...I am going back tomorrow!

I have met some very cool people and today was no different. I did a lunch thing with some community activist and there is nothing more interesting than their story. Life is all about the story! You better start writing and make it legendary. That is what I am learning from a lot of people around here. They work so hard...Americans should step up their game. I think another thing I learned was...Why take a vacation to a place where you have all the comforts of home? Get involved...you will see more, experience more, and overall be more happy.

Today was the only weekend day in Nepal. I am also getting used to Nepal time...pretty much like do one thing a day, whenever...scheduling is not really necessary here...very chill...I love it. It will be something that I miss when I am gone. So now, I have to add teaching English to my Nepali time schedule. I talked with that group leader today and will start Monday. I think my plan is to teach in the morning and then head to the emergency department in the afternoon. Get involved!


Today was good. It has been nice talking and sharing ideas, I never really did that over the last two years. I think part of this whole journey is to search my self and communication is a way to explore my own mind. Tomorrow I am going to be at the hospital. Tonight the house hits Thamel....crazy! Oh, speaking of crazy, I have on video the view from the front passenger seat a taxi ride...if time allows I may or may not give you a sneak peak at the thrilling and deadly ride...fml, I am about to do one in the dark. So today was like hangout and talk about everything possible as I walked the streets with a friend from the house...good times...eye opening. We are off to KTM.
