As there’s a big festival
tomorrow in Nepal there was lots of running around to do today to ensure my
work would be completed ready for my departure on Friday morning. I worked from
the Northfield café where they do bottomless coffees and met with several of my
friends and suppliers including Razza, who’s great at beadwork.
I had a surreal experience
when I popped to the bank. The manager overheard me talking with the bank clerk
in nepali and insisted I join him and a few other staff members for a cup of
coffee in his office. I was bombarded with questions about my work in Nepal,
they were so interested, I can’t quite imagine that happening in the Halifax!
After a cup of tea and chat
with Kancha at Tri Netra I headed over to Bijendra’s house where he was hosting
a small dinner party with his family plus me and three other British guests,
Bob, Juliette and Heather. It was a lovely evening spent on the rooftop eating delicious
dal bhat, drinking beer and sharing stories.
