Just over a week since I landed in Nepal. It has been exciting, challenging and at times overwhelming. I arrived at the airport in Kathmandu at 6am on July 19, after about 18 hours of travel. It was a smooth landing and I was pleasantly surprised by the small airport. It was quick to obtain a visa and go through customs.
I met two other teachers that were also coming to teach at KISC, in Thecho (Te-cho).
I live in the Kisc Guesthouse with 8 other people, which makes life interesting. My favorite spot is to go on the roof top to take in the beautiful view. I am told in November we will be able to see the Himalayas, but because of the season right now we only see the foot hills.
Everyday I have been at the school for training and taking language classes to learn basic Nepali. It has been a busy two weeks.
Today all of the teachers were at school for a PD day; they are from all over the world including, Spain, Finland, Britain, Ireland, Venezuela, Australia, USA and Canada.
Nepali Dal Baat is provided for lunch. It includes rice, lentil soup, a vegetable dish and sometimes chicken. It is delicious.
The Nepali people are kind and helpful, they are relaxed and happy, even in traffic they do not appear to get upset or impatient.
The students start classes next Tuesday. I am looking forward to meeting them.
