i am up and about already.. this is insane. new record for me! i was up at 527 this morning lol...
anywho i am going to eat breakfast today and then head off to my first day of school!
we have orientation at 1230 pm and then we start our first day of class right after that =] im excited to meet my classmates!
oh and i love being up this early because you can hear the city wake up. somehow i find it comforting....
last night i went on another walk around 4 or so and stopped at a little side shop and bought myself a homemade donut. they fill a tub with hot oil and then hook fresh made dough onto a long pole and dip it into the hot oil. result= a sugary, crispy outside and incedibly soft inside. it tastes like there is powdered sugar on it but theres not!! soo good.
after i ate that lovely treat i decided to get lost again (which i did easily lol) and ended up on the far side of town in the residential areas and children's schools. the people are so friendly its amazing. they will smile and wave and the kids run up and ask a million questions that i cant understand.
Every hour that passes i am falling more and more in love with this country.
i returned to my hotel at about six, took a short nap and went down to have dinner.
the meals they serve here are delicious! i had a bowl of chicken noodle soup that was one of the best i had ever had i think. the noodles were very long and skinny and the broth was salty in just the right amount. there were all kinds of veggies in it, and the chicken... it was so tender it fell apart in my mouth.
after i devoured that bowl i ordered a Nepalese favorite called Mo Mo. they are dumplings filled with a curry chicken and served with four different sauces : garlic, soy, a red curry, and a green sauce i cant remember lol. but it was soo good! you can eat them as a snack or as a meal depending on your appetite. i ate four of the nine because that chicken noodle soup filled me up lol! my server asked if he could have the rest =]
as for the pictures, they will be posted on flicker because the internet is so slow here it takes too long to do it straight to the blog. keep looking out for them i will add some each day =]
lots of love,
i miss you all!

ReplyDeletelol ik mamma =] thanks for worrying tho! love you =] some speak english but it helps that ik the words for some of the places i want to go and how to get back from there. so at any time i am too lost i hire a cabby and head to the clock tower and walk home from there =]
ReplyDeleteI thought the exact same thing Kel. haha Have a great first day at class! The excitement has you up at 5:30 ... eventually that will wear off and you will be wanting to sleep til 11. :) I am in awe of you Dani. I am 40 years old and never once left the country. You are so brave and an adventurer! But then again, I thought you were brave to cut all that beautiful hair off lol ... I am a big chicken and never take chances. Good for you for going out there and doing it!!
