Namaste!
A quick update from Kathmandu. Things are great here, we're starting to learn Nepali (which is extremely difficult!) and we're getting immersed in the Nepalese culture through our training. Our placement with the host family starts tomorrow so we probably wont be able to update things for at least a week. The charity seems to be very well organised and all people involved in it seem genuinely committed to the projects. Its founder, Bhupi is the sweetst guy and is totally devoted to his cause in Nepal. We both can't wait to start our volunteering, although it is also going to be quite a challenge.
Other than a touch of Kathmandu belly, things are fine with us healthwise. Everything is pretty cheap over here, although it all adds up especially when I (Rozzi) want to buy everything!! I am totally in love with a Nepalese vase that costs around 60GBP and am still trying to convince L to loosen the purse strings a little (not much chance!).
If anyone wants to get in touch with us in Nepal, we do have a Nepali number, but i've forgotten the phone at the hotel so we'll update on that in the next blog. Also if anyone wants to see photos there are some on the flickr account at: http://www.flickr.com/rozziandlaurence
Thats all for now - must rush off to the local Nepalese bar with the other volunteers.
Namaste! (which they use here as hello + goodbye but it actually means I bow to the God in you!)
Lots of love
Rozzi and Laurence
