Notes on Nepal

Here I am, sitting in a dodgy internet cafe in Kalanki, Kathmandu. I'll give you a bulleted run down on my last few days...

• 1 calm, quiet flight with no airlines going bust or flights being resheduled.
• 4 language lessons, taught OLD STYLE .
• 1 thin hard bed in a dubious state of cleanliness (thankgoodness for my Lulu slepping bag)
• No coffee since Sunday morning.
• No Meat for the last 3 days (and none on the horizon as far as I can see).
• No alcohol for the last 3 days (and none on the horizon as far as I can see).
• Lots of really friendly, nice people.
• A lot of good laughs, mostly about the toilet/shower.

Anyway, so everything is going well, we are mostly in the hostel doing the language bit but on Friday we start sightseeing and on Monday we go away to a village and Chitwan National Park. I'm getting used to the meals and the facilities, I just have a feeling it will be worse in the orphanage!
