i learned that my name means generous, or one who gives with out haste. spelling is the same and everything!

Today Harimaya and i went to the monkey temple and it was AMAZING!! soo awesome. it was a buddhist temple and it was like infested with crazy monkeys hhaha so cute! we climed allll the way up to the top of this giant hilly mountain thing and from the top we could see allll of kathmandu valley. there was also a group meditation thing going on but i didnt want to join because it was too touristy. mostly people from america and  england or where ever. if im going to do i am going to wait and do it WITH the monks. not have one held by them. and i get to do that after this month!! i can wait to live in the Tashi Chuling monastery... i wonder what its going to be like. from the top of the temple Hari pointed out the direction of Pharping (where the monastery is) and it looks like it is nestled in the hills just below the mountains =]

this city life is too much to handle...

We finished typing out her paper and gong over the grammer and what not, went to the Tribhuvan University and turned it in. so hopefully her mini research will be approved!! =D
she was so nice today. lol not that she isnt every day! but she literally would not let me pay foranything! she even bought me some prayer beads and a multi metal bracelet and said "you have bangles from all your other friends, so now i will add to your collection. but mine is better" hahahahaha she is so funny! she also bought me a whole pound of FRESH oranges. dude these things were the best oranges i have ever eaten... small yet so juicy that they started dripping when i opened them! i kept squirting my face ahaha.  she said they were from her part of town and knew that i would love them.
i took her out to dinner at the hotel and repayed her for everything she did. i got her some ice cream and a pancake for dessert too =] haha she was in heaven!

we then went up to my room and had a conversation about relationships and love, as well as marriage both personally and culturally. she is so awesome. she told me that a marriage should be shared. she was married off to a man at the age of 12!! and she said that even though it was arranged, they grew to really truly love each other. she told me that if the couple is able to work through their problems with out getting overly upset, and can 'hold their heads' then that is a healthy affair and will no doubt grow into some kind of love.

that was my day =] i will have pictures up on flickr so be looking for them!!! they are gonna be good ones  lol
