My Nepali Adventures...

Welcome to the world of a klutzy blonde who can't even sort her washing without injuring herself...

Yet I'm taking off to Nepal, to work as a Water Safety Planning Engineer partnering with an Aussie and a Nepali NGO, and am going to attempt to do so without getting horribly sick, breaking a bone, or embarrassng myself entirely.

Here you can follow what's going on, probably punctuated by stories of self-depricating humour and general nonsense...

And in case you were wondering about my blog title, I'm a massive Disney fan and a sanitation engineer... need I say more?

A picture is worth a thousand words...

So even though I'm sure you would all have liked to see photos of Nepali protesters burning stuff down my street, I decided against taking photos of that as I have no desire to be shot. However, I got a couple of interesting photos this week which demand an explanaton- which I may not be able to give...

I was sitting at lunch the other day and noticed this tree. My first thought was 'those fruit look alot like eggs'. It took me a few extra seconds to realise they actually WERE eggs.

 

Now, if anyone can tell me why someone would crack a heap of eggs (quite skillfully, as they were almost in tact) only to stick them onto the branches of a tree, I will buy you some daal bhat next time you're in Nepal. You can also notice in the bottom of the photo that the garden bed is made from upside down long-neck beer bottles. Classy.
Seriously... not a clue what was going on!

Later on, whilst sitting in the traffic jam caused by the strike, I also had a good chance to check out this poster on the bus in front of us. Unfortunately I'm not going to be around for the Eighth International Elephant Race, but mostly I am sad that I'm going to be missing the 'Elephant Beauty Contest'.


I'm not sure whether I should be there protesting about the objecification of females across the species, or cheering on this movement to let bigger girls have a chance...

And then this morning, right before I realised that Kahloo had peed in my room, I was tidying and picked up this 'clean' pillow slip...



I think I may have a rodent problem. Either that or Jaws is hanging out in my apartment.

Just a second- as I type there is a bird trying to get into my apartment via the exhaust fan...
