in Nepal…

• spicy food and having a daily runny nose because of it
• not seeing rain for months  and sunshine all day
• dust and pollution (and having a daily runny nose because of it)
• seeing mounds of rotting garbage everywhere
• starting work at 10am
• seeing goats, pigs, and chicken being slaughtered for consumption in the open
• looking to my right first before crossing the street
• comfortable with budding in the line
• bumping my head on low ceilings and door ways
• the head waggle
• frequent power cuts (still frustrating)
• conserving every drop of water (shower water can still be used for a lot of things)
