i am forever grateful to the amazing+

incredibly generous friend that is Adam Milne!

because..

I AM WRITING THIS ON MY LAPTOP ((:

yes, he drove from Newry>> Belfast

to get dear old Nathan the clunky noisy unreliable computer

and gave it to Catherine who had to lug it all the way!

(catherine's from NI and will be working in the same school)

and then I had a fright cause it wouldn't work

with the wireless and had to bring it over

to the International school for the IT guys

to look over which took an hour and finally,

the glorious moment arrived where I could

finally finally get Internet in my room!!!

(:

oh how I took things for granted.

on the sick front: it's hard getting better with the terrible

polluted air over here, so i've been getting

worse and worse actually-

it got so bad on tuesday, i woke up with

burning eyes and just lots of heat

emanating from my body so I left work

after 2 periods and came home to sleep

but I couldn't cause I was coughing too much.

it's been a pattern lately with the night coughing,

it's annoying but it's easier to deal with than

the swollen gums in Week 1 so i'm not going to complain.

anyway going to see some sights this week with Catherine here

so I won't look so touristy- going to some place

where they cremate dead bodies (which is apparently

some great big tourist attraction- WHY?!)

and some temply places, which is pretty much

all of Nepal cause temples/worshippy places 

seem to be everywhere- and they all have intricate

woodwork and stuff like that which really remind

me of my parents.

also, this week I finally got my kurtasuruwal made,

my beautiful Nepali outfit that is so loose

it's like wearing pajamas all day

(which is my ultimate dream) so I'm very happy

and hoping to buy a few more to wear everyday!

expect more updates now!
