nepal- so far by tina

so we arrived to nepal two jeep rides and a walk pretty much over the boarder later and we found a decent hotel b/c of some very kind help of some nepali native. we have now also visited some of the refugee camps of the people of Bhutan who have been living in nepal for the past 18 years now. the visits were arranged b/c of julia and her connections with her job back in cali., which i am sure u ar all aware of. the people in the camps were unreal with their hospitality and warmth with recieving us. we had such an amazing time chatting and getting to know them (understanding most of what they said:) ) and eating the loads of food that they so generously 'forced' upon us- which is absolutely amazing!

we then traveled on 13 hour bus ride to kathmandu, b/c we were near the border of nepal-this is where the camps are, and are presently in kathmandu. it is very city like and is actually the nicest city we have been to so far. we have had some epic shopping time, visited the many temples that are here, and went to some traditional nepali dance club. the people here are very helpful and have been so awesome since we have been here.
