After six weeks in Nepal we are having a day of Xmas celebrations, our one day off. Although the Guest House staff made a point of saying Merry Christmas to us there is very little by way of Christmas visibility. I am sure those of you at home have had an overdose of the Christmas hype by now and would appreciate the low key here.
We spent Xmas eve doing the first bit of shopping for our new dhera ( rented flat) and delivering out newly acquired bedding which includes a Nepali quilt or sirak which we are hoping is as cosy as a european duvet as the nights here are pretty cold and with no heating you at least need your bed to be warm. The only furniture in the dhera is two beds so we are now trying to buy everything we need before next Monday when we go off to stay in a village for a week as part of our language and culture training.
Namaste
Julie
