just warning you guys, blog is going to look a tad weird for this evening until I get my entry for Pimp My Blog all set up.

Done!

Nepal is a very special place to me. I was lucky enough to even live around this area (in Kyrgyzstan) when I was young. Sadly, I have yet to go to Nepal itself--but my dad and older sisters used to live there. My dad would tell me the most amazing stories about his work there, and around other countries like Thailand and India, and the world seemed so much more than what I thought before. Something about these places has a beautiful, mysterious aura to them. The people, the culture, land...something is just rather enthralling about the Indies, and especially Nepal. Up to its highest peak, Mount Everest, all the way down to the forgotten villages far bellow.

But it is also a land of great poverty. It makes me sad that such wonderful people must go through so much, and in such a stunning setting. Hence, when I go to Nepal someday I'm not just going there for touring. I'll be getting my hands dirty, maybe even be a teacher like my dad was to them.

So this is why I chose it to be Pimp My Blog.

Also, random phrase/word of the day in Nepali:

Phet dookio: "my stomach hurts"
