Sunday
Sorry for the lack of updates - it's been a pretty busy week with a new job and a puppy to take care of. Plus that I've got the worst cold ever. Overdosed on strepsils and hot lemon & honey yesterday so I hope it will get better.
I've btw learned how you get a drivers license in Nepal: you drive in a field between some cones, and reverse into a square of cones - and that's it! You never even get tested while driving on the roads. I think it would be more realistic if you let a herd of goats loose in the field, trying to dodge them!
Another test should be 'trying to get over a busy street'.
Now I'm gonna head out for breakfast with the crew. Take care.
New Roomate
So no this little bundle of joy (and flees) are shitting on everything we own...
Nagarkot
The next morning (today) we got up at 5 am to see a spectacular sunrise over the mountains, and guess what we saw?! Clouds!!! But the company was the best, so it was a great trip anyways!

The nice views over the mountains!
Box
I'm gonna build one of theese.... boxes(?), and sit outside bars in copenhagen
at night selling snacks and water.
Wonder if that's legal?
Crappy Internet
There's this new volunteer at the hospital (and he also lives in the same hostfamily) and he's driving me crazy! He's got the social skills of a cat, and the concentration spam of an elephant with adhd. He really doesn't seem to understand that nepali people will try to get as much money from you as possible... which is why it's an incredibly stupid idea to sit with a touristmap in the microbus when we're trying to pay the same amount for the bus as the locals. Stupid person. And he's apparently my responsibility.
Todays highlight however, was the big wallpainting we made at the hospital! A jungle! You have to see pictures of it cause it's amazing!
Blahaj
I don't have much I want to say today.
I can tell you that much that I went to a rally yesterday - for international pneumonia day. Looking like a geek in a cap and a t-shirt the size of a tent handing out leaflets.
You gonna get some pics instead.
Some pics from the rafting, where you can see the nice technique the guides used to get us on the raft: "head-in-croch" technique.
The platform I jumped from.
Lazy girl
Afterwards I headed to a boardingschool where many of my friends volonteer, to celebrate the tiharfestival with the kids. They were so lovely, and it's amazing how attached they get to people after knowing you only for a couple of hours. We made popcorn and "grilled" marshmallows on a big bonfire, and all of the time I had a bunch of kids hanging all over me and sitting in my lap. Theese kids had never tasted marshmallows before, and still they offered you their candy before eating it themselves. Incredibly wonderful kids and it just makes you mad how spoiled kids are back home.
Anyways, tomorrow I'm gonna get serious - promise!
Last Resort
After we got back late yesterday we (what else could we do?) went out partying with our nepali friends! It nice to know a lot of people here now - but all those free drinks really makes you feel sick the next day. oh well, it was totally worth it! now I need to get serious and get to work.
Tomorrow
I'll update you on saturday (if I'm still around).
Trisuli river
Last weekend got a bit wild in many ways, so that's why the lack of updates.
On friday we left for Thamel (the turistpart of Kathmandu) and the hotel had once again given our rooms away, and we could only find a doubbleroom we had to fit 5 people in (which is why I spent the night sleping under one of the beds).
Well, it could only get better from there, and after a couple of drinks we went out partying with theese nepali-guys that work at the reagge bar in Thamel. It was a great night, but after only 3 hours of sleep and with a major hangover, white water rafting was about the last thing I wanted to do.
It was great though, 2 days of rafting and camping in tents on a beach - but I think we spent more time in the water than in the raft, cause when we didn't fall in because of the rapid waves, we were pushed in by the 3 nepali guys that worked as our guides/instructors. They even had a bucket they filled with water to keep us properly soaked the entire time.
