If You Thought Getting Lost Was Dramatic...

Well, after my day in Thamel I headed home without incident, there was a little girl with a balloon on the second micro and we played little kid games and I tried to chat to her folks without much success.
When I got off the bus, I had a short walk to get home. Some old man starts chatting to me, talking about his son-in-law and how he makes good daal bhat and how I should join them sometime. And I was like, actually, I have my own daal bhat but thankyou anyway. Then he started talking about his son and how his son would love to study abroad and how if only he had a western wife...And I had to say that there was NO WAY I was interested in his son, actually. So that man went home then I got a bleeding nose. As I was getting blood all over myself and my bag and my hand while trying to get tissues out of it, two guys came round the corner and asked what was wrong, did I fall over? And I was trying to explain that I get bleeding noses lots and its normal, I just needed my tissues...So they help me find my tissues and carry on their way. (It occured to me later the amount of things they could have taken from my bag as I was in such a flustered state. Its cool when genuinely nice people turn up at the right times.) So I go back to the home, clean myself up, and go into the playroom, where one kid has this great idea that I should tell a story. So I did Rumplestiltskin for the obvious reason that I played the title character, and they loved it! It was so cool. The next one we did, Snow White, I got them helping out with sound effects and then we did some of Cinderella, and I got them acting it out (you can see where this is going right?) then I asked if they would like me to write a play so they could act it out to some kids from another home and they said yes. So now I'm writing and directing, so to speak. Kneller better be proud. Heh.
So that was my day.
By the way, today marks the half way point of my time in Nepal.
Congratulations, Sophie!
Love.
