Today I headed out to Dun-sel, a Tibetan clinic in Tushi Palkhiel settlement.

As soon as we arrived we were greeted warmly with tea. Again, there was a range of reasons why some people presented, although mostly they wanted their weekly medications.

All the children I have seen have been so cute with their big brown eyes and their tikka dots on the foreheads. One little girl was fascinated with all the people that had come to visit her town.

When we had finished at the clinic we visited a Tibetan refugee monastery. It was so peaceful with images of Buddha and the burning of incense.

I finally purchased a Nepalese SIM card. I'm pretty sure my identity is going to be stolen as I had to provide a copy of my passport, photos and FINGER PRINTS!?

On our arrival back to Manipal I ate in the hospital cafeteria. Samosas and Tibetan Mo Mos for $2AU, not bad for hospital food! One of the ED residents had read my CV and was so excited that I was trained in Radiology that she was head wobbling all over the place. No, yes?

My camera was malfunctioning

today, right at an opportune moment but luckily a German medical student had an SLR camera (slightly better than mine) so i pilfered that for a few shots around the ED.

Enjoy!
