Nepal

They don't brake they honk. Kill a cow = life imprisonment. Kill a human = ten years. Understand the language? Not at all. Fanta for 90 cents NZ. New Zealand is not Australia. Can't see the mountains for the smog. Weddings on the side of the road. Traffic lights just flash red. Women wear traditional dress, men wear as much western clothes as they can. Fly into the airport and there are empty shells of planes sitting by the runway. There is a pizza place across from where I'm sitting advertising a 'Crazy Special' Pizza. They do all they can to get money. Incredible clothes and jewellery sold everywhere. Animals everywhere.

This place is crazy. Those are some first impressions. I'm meeting the other volunteers tonight for the first time which I'm really excited about. Training starts tomorrow. I'm trying to get over the jet lag. And the fear. And the lonely feeling. Thats the bit thats getting me most at the moment. Hopefully that'll change when I talk to the folks that feel exactly the same as me tonight. Until then I just got to trust myself that I can explore and not get lost. Extra. Thinking of you all. Stay safe.
