Thanksgiving is upon us. In a mere 14 hours I will be sitting on the couch, belt undone, sleeping off another amazing Thanksgiving meal. It will be my fourth of the year, but definitely the best and most special.
Last year I spent Thanksgiving in Nepal. Now don’t get me wrong, I greatly [...]
I love Halloween. I don’t care what people say. Its not an evil holiday, its not satanic or whatever else they want to say. Its fun. Dress up as your favorite superhero and get free candy. I don’t see a problem with that!
For the past two years we’ve had our [...]
A year ago I posted an entry entitled ‘First Impressions’ (you can read it HERE and I highly urge you to read it as it will make this post make a lot more sense). An old friend commented on the post saying that it will be interesting to see my last impressions when I [...]
I love this commercial so I’d thought I’d share it. Although I’ve never had the product, so I can’t say anything for it. But their advertising is great. Enjoy!
Hatke Jhatke!
I celebrated July 4th by visiting the American Club here in Kathmandu. Its normally by membership only (and no, being a citizen doesn’t mean “member”), but on the 4th they opened it up to all the US citizens.

I went over to PJ and Lizzie’s this evening. We “grilled” [...]
I went to the reception tonight for the wedding I talked about yesterday. It was just down the street at Yak Banquets. It was a cool night, the stars were out (with the power outages you can see a lot of the stars even in the city, its strange to be honest). [...]
I had dinner with the new folks in town. PJ and Lizzie. We made pizza pockets. They had cheese and pepperoni from the States. Tasty, indeed.
But even better than that was the fellowship and good conversation we had. They are around my age and from Ohio. Its been a [...]
My typical breakfast consists of tea and biscuits. I would call them cookies and crackers, but I live in a culture influenced by those crazy Brits who get all their terms mixed up. Who calls the trunk of a car a boot? Seriously?
This morning I had a new “biscuit” for breakfast. At first glance I [...]
Thirteen thousand chickens were culled recently in the eastern part of Nepal. The Bird Flu is here. Chickens are illegally imported from India where the Bird Flu was already confirmed. It was only a matter of time until it made it to Nepal.
So now we are not eating chicken anymore. They [...]
