The Nepalese Adventure: Day 24

Day 24 - Tuesday

I am so tired that I'm afraid you'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out what happened today. But tomorrow I'll let you know what's going to happen tomorrow tomorrow (which is how they refer to the day after tomorrow here). 4 days hence is a string of tomorrow tomorrow tomorrow's!

But anyway, tomorrow I have an early bus yo catch to Kathmandu, so I'll leave it here for now.

Signing off.
Chris

It's like someone took away the book I'm currently engrossed in and left the Beano in its place......

The Nepalese Adventure: Days 24 & 25

Day 24 – Tuesday The cockerel has been a bit quieter of late. Not to worry, the construction crew on the building next door now turn their radio on full blast shortly after 5:30 am. There is no winning. Perhaps I should have just started getting up at 5:30 every day. Problem is, dinner is around 8pm, sometimes 9pm, so it’s not like you can get an early night. At least I know when I get back and I can have long lies in and Karen and the kids will tiptoe around in the morning, quiet as .... No! Lets’ not have any more mice! Last full day in Gorsyang today and therefore last day of school. After a breakfast of omelette and large sweet baps, Hindou and I went round to the school building lugging the new stools, vacuum cleaner and desktop computer, as well as our daily rucksacks. No computer lessons until after lunch so divided the tasks to be done into Blue jobs and Pink jobs. Hindou vacuumed the Computer Lab whilst I fixed the computers. Lunch: Dahl Bhat After 2 day

Day 12 - Thursday Relatively uneventful day today. Breakfast (9:30) was a hard-boiled egg and curried/spicy chick peas (“Chana” in Nepali). All cold. We have water. No lessons till the afternoon so spent the morning painting. I’m so dissatisfied with finish of the painting and the walls clearly need several coats. Mentioned this to the teacher who disagreed and said it was at a very high standard. For Nepal. Was he just placating me? Not sure, but I’ll assume he was being honest and not just polite. Now I feel better J Lunch: Daal Bhat! Class 6. 2nd lesson and no computer hands on yet. :( 30 minutes before computer lesson: No power! I’ve started to prepare backup lessons now. Just in case, so I wasn’t totally at a loss. Thunder storms are rolling around the hills, intermittent heavy rain and thunder/lightning. That seems to be the time at which most power failures occur. I heard that the last power outage that lasted two days was resolved by four of th

Day 23 – Monday Woke up this morning to find myself, once again, in one of those things with 4 legs, with a duvet, pillow, sheets etc. You know: A bed. Stretched luxuriously and decided to take a shower in my en-suite bathroom where there’s both a blue and a red symbol on all the water outlets. (Reading that back, its bound to invite some ribald comments.) Breakfast: Omelette, Orange Juice and Black Coffee. Texted the teacher, Parshuram, to tell him I would not make it back in time for class because of no buses yesterday etc. He replied to say don’t worry. Still quite a lot to do today yet so was ready to check out by 9:30. Receptionist told me there was a slight problem with check out as they did not know the room rate for my booking (maybe they never found it on the system.) Could I please tell them what it should be? My problem is, I’m just too honest, otherwise I could easily have saved myself 5 quid! Headed into Battar. Stopped at the computer shop where I
