We made it...

Whew, we finally made it to Kathmandu. It took us just under 24 of travel to get here, and we were pretty tired. we flew from Raleigh to New York City, from NYC to Hong Kong, and from Hong Kong to Kathmandu. WHile in Hong Kong, we ate chinese food...that's a first for me, chinese food in China! We are staying with a family, the Pradhans, at a moravian church. They are a wonderful family, and some of the nicest people I've ever met. I am sharing a room with their 13 year old son, Joshua, who is a very bright student.
Today we went into the city, to go to the post office and to buy myself some pants...I was told I shouldn't wear jeans to church, haha. Mr. Pradhan said that we may receive mail at this address:
Matthew Revilla
G.P.O. Box 14201
Kathmandu, Nepal

I think I'm going to try something different on this blog than last year, and write interesting things down that I saw or experienced in a list...

-I saw a man carrying an entire couch on his back...poor guy
-We rode in what is called a 'tuk tuk', a three-wheeled, battery-powered mass transit vehicle that certainly wouldn't pas DMV standards in the US.
-We visited the Kathmandu hospital...note to self: stay out of there at all costs, it was way worse than the one in Mexico...
-Everything here reminds me of India, the smells, sights, and sounds...except that we only saw 2 cows in the streets, not 3,458...
-I saw a 'sadhu', a hindu holy man, wearing converses! sweet kicks bro!

Well, I gotta go, but I hope to have more pictures soon!
