Inconveniences It's unbelievable that someone would steal your pump, although I guess they can be intriguing to the unacquainted. I remember Sebastian's mom saying his monitor had gotten stolen at a summer camp once.
In my rice cooker, it's about a 2-3 ratio of rice to water. I use 2 cups of rice and about 2 3/4 cup of water. That's more than you need, of course. It's more than we need now, but it seems to turn out better to make a larger quantity than the smaller amount that we actually need.
Love you and miss you.
I was wondering, is there a specific word for "music" in Nepali that is roughly equivalent to our word, or is concepualization about what is "music" and what is not different from our own?
I miss you Robert, it sounds like you've been having such a blast in Nepal! I absolutely can't wait to see you in a year and hear everything about it. I miss you so extremely much! College life is great like you said! I love it here. I'm going to get a webcam probably today or tomorrow so hopefully we can talk on skype. So are you planning a great Mt. Everest expedition? hehe. It sounds like such a great culture there and great music. Please, please be safe over there. I love you so much! Love, Hayley.
Learn and Enjoy You write brilliantly, Robert - it's going to be a pleasure to follow your blog as you discover Nepal. Your Uncle Jim and I are envious... Aunt Jini
Awesome! I've been thinking about you a lot these last few days, and it is great to hear that you are doing so well (and doing well so quickly!) in the new place that will be your home for the next year.
You mentioned talking about politics with the man working the music store. What's the general consensus in Kathmandu about the state of the world today? Does your new madal teacher speak English or are you picking up the language quickly? Have you found a Nepali teacher?

Thank you From reading this, I feel like I've gained a better view into your thoughts and feelings leading into your epic journey. For that, I thank you. I look forward to the entries that are soon to follow.

Che was a work of pure craftmanship. Watching part 2 really rounded the whole saga out nicely. I think Soderbergh's goal was complete objectivity (which hadn't been achieved in a film about Che) and in my opinion he succeeded.

I'm going on a 10 month Fulbright research trip to Kathmandu, Nepal. I'll be studying music education, learning how to play Nepali music, and generally getting into the music scene in Kathmandu. I'll try to make this site the organization center for my trip; I'll write what I'm up to, where I've been, how the project is going, and what I'm planning to do.... full info
