Tomorrow ends our second week here at Cornell's Nepal Study Program (CNSP), which is part of the University here in Kirtipur. We have our last language class today, and we leave early in the morning on Sunday for Pokhara, where we'll be recouping and preparing for our conservation research. After a few days, we leave for rural Jumla and the great Himalayas! From there we'll be trekking from village to village and holding interviews will the help of research assistants. We don't know what our research topics will be, but I couldn't be more excited to begin the project. Who gets to go from interview to interview via foot trail?
During that time we won't be on the internet at all, so once we leave Pokhara, it will be a couple of weeks until you hear from me again.
Everyone here, where we're already captivated by the amazing views, says that Pokhara is absolutely beautiful, so I await it expectantly. I bartered down to 1100 nrs for a second memory card in Thamel yesterday, so I'll have plenty of space for pictures.
Namaste, pheri beThauula (see you again)!
