Deakin University student Daniel updates on life in Nepal

Pokhara is Fantastic!



Pokhara is fantastic, so much better then Kathmandu, which is a little nuts! The Nepali lifestyle is mind-boggling, that in Australia everyone gets up and goes to work yet in Nepal many don't have jobs. I'd go stir-crazy if I spent all day sitting around my house! We had a few earlier hiccups with our host family, but now things are going very well, they are only disappointed that we have to leave as there is much they want to show us.

Working in the orphanage has been good. Last week was better, they were studying for exams so we had a specific task to help them revise. This week is a little different, they are back at school so we just watch them while they do their homework and help out where we can. I also spent last week weeding and clearing some garden beds at the home where Kathryn and Hayley were, which was good cos you could actually see your progress in something physical!
