                    <description>Just before leaving Mongolia  was invited to attend a horse branding... ceremony I was told by my 29 year old Mongolian mother Haliuna that their neighbors out in the countryside would be branding a baby horse and that if I wanted to join them  should bring a bottle of vodka as a gift. My imagination foresaw a few guys holding a horse with cigarettes dangling from their lips while another</description>

                    <description>Two days prior to departing Nepal I was bestowed an unwanted memento 'Delhi Belly' aka Montezuma's Revenge or Traveler's Diarrhea  there's an oxymoron for you. To think I survived seven weeks in Nepal without any real GI issues but as I was packing to leave... blammo A slave to the proximity of a reliable toilet.This is not conducive when you're flight gets canceled unbeknownst to you and you </description>

                    <description>This was a place of great tranquility. After experiencing the rustic lifestyle of Goljung this place was a palace of comfort where I taught English to kids from the ages of 5 to 20. The Monastery is run on donations from around the world supporting kids who come as orphans from poverty and from far off remote regions. Here they're giving food shelter clothing an education medical coverage an</description>

                    <title>Volunteering in Goljung</title>
                    <description>I was fortunate to find an affordable volunteer program in Nepal which I participated in for one month as an English teacher. I say  affordable because in today's 'Brave New World' it's all business and most programs' weekly prices are equivalent to an allinclusive week vacation in the Caribbean. So much for volunteering in the traditional sense of the word. Even though they had medical assi</description>

Referred to as 'tigers of the snow' they are the unsung heroes behind every summit attempt of the world's tallest. After the climbing season they return to their villages families farms and herds.

                    <description> After saying goodbye to New Zealand I arrived back in the land of OZ to catch up with the extended family from the sailing days on 'Euphoria' for a couple of weeks. It was a nice respite where I had my own room free internet and relaxing company. Here I prepared for the next destination... Thailand.

                    <description>It's been awhile... After the slave island experience I settled back in Picton where I found good company and a job at one of the hostels 23 hours a day cleaning for accommodation. Not so bad for supporting the life style. Now... almost two months later I'm still cleaning for accommodation in the mornings afternoons I'm working at an ice cream shop you heard me evenings I'm washing dishes </description>
