I think the pictures speak for themselves. It was an interesting week and I survived. My family were very welcoming but I was glad to get back to Kathmandu after the 8 days. [View Full Entry]

Here are some snaps from an overnight stay that Orla and I did in Nagarkot. We got a minibus from a local hotel to a hotel in Nagarkot and we were hoping for views of the Himalaya's the following morning. They did not appear but we got a good view of the sunrise. The next day we set out on a 15km (5hr) stroll to a temple called Chang Naran and then had a 3 hr bus ride home, I think we would have been quicker walking back...... [View Full Entry]

Here are some random photos of some nights out in Kathmandu, meeting my employers and some of my new friends. Enjoy! I am heading off to stay in a local village in 2 days. All the new volunteers have been allocated to a family for a 7 nights stay. I will be with a family of 5 and they also have a cow and 2 goats, an outside toilet and outside bathing facilities so stay tuned for lots of 'interesting' stories and photos!! [View Full Entry]

Here are some photo's that were taken during our language and culture training. We have visted a temple, been shown how to eat with our right hand and what we should NOT do if we are invited to someone's house. There are also some pictures of the other volunteers doing short sketches in Nepali [View Full Entry]

Here are some pictures of a walk I had with some volunteers after about a week in Nepal. Another volunteer and I (Orla) did not even make it half way up the hill before we 'gave up'! Oral and I had a walk round the base of the hill (less exhausting!) and saw a fire start in the forest which resulted in us have to get out quick! Thankfully everyone else got out safely by taking a massive detour so it ended up being a very long day out!! Enjoy the photo's!! [View Full Entry]
