The closest town to my village was memorably described in the Nepal Lonely Planet as: “not much more than a glorified bus-stop, and it is difficult to imagine that anyone would want to stay longer than the time it takes to make a bus connection”. Ahh good times.<BR/><BR/>I'm kidding, It was actually the best year of my life, but at the same time it was the absolute worst year of my life too- life there is just so extreme.<BR/><BR/>I am half-way through writing a book about life in Nepal, but got stuck after about page 250 when the horror of finding publishers, etc, dawned on me.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15837887440642353423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14795067.post-1156979968548426082006-08-31T07:19:00.000+08:002006-08-31T07:19:00.000+08:00Wow, you lived in rural Nepal (sorry, just side-st...Wow, you lived in rural Nepal (sorry, just side-stepping the mind-blowing vision of a wad stuffed down your shirt for a moment)??

That makes for a lumpy bra.<BR/><BR/>I knew a lady once who used her bra as a wallet on a regular basis. One time she lost $300.00 (American money) and went a little nuts looking for it. Okay she went "alot of nuts" she finally gave up and thought it had fallen out of her bra while she was shopping. Many, many months later she pulled out a chicken from her deep freezer for dinner. Once it had defrosted and she took it out of the aluminum foil she had wrapped it in she found her lost money. It seemed it had fallen into the bag of chicken while she wrapped it up. It was wet,and smelly but she was a happy woman that night.Miahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07116433032548468234noreply@blogger.com
