Nepal (15) Daily Routine

Even though so many aspects of our daily life are completely different then what we're used to in the States, life has started to feel very normal here as we become integrated into daily activities in Tansen. Daily activities include shopping for food, meeting familiar faces, and taking care of things around the house.

We've had dinner with a Nepali family at their house, where 8 of us gathered in one tiny room on a bed because their house is so small, and ate chicken which qualified as an exotic luxury based on their income.

We've had our teeth cleaned at the dentist.



I've had my hair cut.



Some simple things are much more complicated (like washing the dishes). But some normally complicated things are much more simple.

Despite all these differences, it feels very comfortable, and there are definitely many things that I will greatly miss.
