Ha! Just as I thought I was settling in, I'm off again. Tomorrow morning I'm off at 5am to head out to see the Nepali countryside and visit my grandmother and other family in Bhadrapur, a small village in the far eastern corner of Nepal.
Eschewing the airplane in hopes of seeing how much of the countryside has changed, I'm traveling by bus. The buses here aren't exactly very comfortable, but they're certainly a unique experience.
I won't have internet access until I return on Sunday night, just in time for the World Cup Finals! I'll have pictures to share when I get back, so brace yourselves!
Hopefully, by next week, I'll have more time to myself and will begin working on my research. Until then, I look forward to spending a few days away from Kathmandu and urban life.

Where am I?
July 12 - in Los Angeles. Farewell, S America.... hasta la proxima.
June 23 - learning to be civilized in cosmopolitan Buenos Aires... cutlery, manners, and a second change of clothing is back into my life.
June 4 - hitchhiking to Buenos Aires... thumb status: almost, but not quite, frostbitten.
May 31 - in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego.
May 21 - making deals with the devil to cross the Straits of Magellan into Tierra del Fuego.
May 16 - Inching against the wind towards the end of the South American mainland.
May 14 - recuperating from a cold in Los Glaciares, Patagonia...
May 3 - Riding the Ruta 40 Sur. Please refrain from heavy breathing or steamy activities... experts say it is a key factor in forming crosswinds down here.
April 26 - Coyhaique, Carretera Austral.
April 15 - Cycling back in time across the ancient forests of Los Alerces Natl Park.
April 5 - defrosting fingers and welcoming the winter in Bariloche, Argentina (and yes... the storm is still raging!).
March 30 - well rested and waiting for a trailer tire in Temuco.
March 18 - in Valparaiso, cruising down the Pacific Coast of Chile.... the air feels thick at sea-level!
March 11 - reunited with Seth and Kirsten in Santiago de Chile, endless stories and Chilean vinos shared!
March 7 - wondering if its time to leave the asaditos behind and head for Chile...
March 4 - purple lipped from the finest wines, dancing with the most beautiful women on earth, and rocking out to Manu Chao at the local football field in Mendoza, Argentina. Pura Vida!
