Nepal # 1 vs Adelaide

Have heard from my friend in Nepal. She has just started her teaching job and is nervous about it. But so far she is still feeling as though she has a special connection to the country and the people, so she is excited and eager as well. Makes my life seem mundane - but I really am enjoying what I do. This week has mainly been spent lunching with friends who all have different interests and habits, so every meeting is different and the conversation ranges over an amazing variety of topics. Yesterday for example, I heard how the Chinese had influenced the virility and blooming properties of roses!
