My life in Pel Yer (Nepal)


These are just a few photos from my time thus far. They are slightly out of order, but it is really difficult to complete anything because of the internet so this will have to do. (I have spent 2 days posting this--internet issues!). 

Enjoy!

The view from my porch at night!

My house. (I live on the 2nd floor--my room is the 3rd window on the right side of the building)

The site right next door to my house (the view from my window)

The Boudah Stupa (a highly religious site that Buddhists come to worship every day. I will write a whole blog post on this beautiful site)

Prayer Wheel at the Stupa

Butcher...!!!

Yes, it is true, prayer flags are EVERYWHERE

My family cooking momo's (dumplings)

Assembly line

Finished product! SOO Yummy. The one I made is faced down because it is so bad hah

I gave the silver YMCA cups to my family and they loved them. However, I said specifically do not drink hot liquids out of it...and that is ALL they drink, tea! oops! 

In Parphing (orientation week)


The streets of Parphing

View from the Buddhist Monistary--look at all the fields and green spaces. SO different than Kathmandu City

My "Drop Off" buddies--Max and Mark

The walk up to the Monastery 

Mark imprinting the script on the wall for our "drop off" souvenir 

Staring contest--I won!

In celebration of the holiday Martyrs Day in Nepal, people combine rice, red powder and water to create a sticky mixture to stick on their forehead
