The most exciting part of my day is...

the 5-15mins I spend waiting by the side of the road, waiting to be picked up for work. If I was left waiting for so long back home in Australia, I would probably be incredibly frustrated. But this morning I was loving it! I wish the work car was always late! So much happens, and here is a quick list of everything that went down this morning...

• firstly I saw the guy who rides in the wheelchair/bicycle thing, he had already dropped his son off at school...
• then I watched the guys at the motorbike repair shop...who were watching me...
  
• the sidewalk cleaner came by and wanted me to move so he could clean the scraps of rubbish in the dust (not sure why they bother!). He looked like a Sherpa, the types of people that live in the Everest region - probably came to Kathmandu with promises of a fantastic paying job...
• I watched all the 'white' people riding their bikes furiously to the Department for International Development in Nepal office. 5 of them were late...and 2 of them were wearing the exact same thing - khaki pants, blue button up shirt and a brown blazer!
• a massive truck went by that looked like it should've had animals in it (dead or alive), instead it was filled with chicken feathers - so I tried not to breathe in, i don't really feel like catching bird flu...
• I noticed that the British must be really patriotic, they put their flag on their vehicles and drive those old school landcruisers. they must think they are going on a safari or something...
• a mummy dog was searching for food for her baby puppy and was running from shop to shop to find scraps. the puppy was following her slowly trying to find food too. it was the same puppy that tried to come to work with me last week. he wandered down my alley, but the mum came back with some food but couldn't find him, then she sniffed him out and found him and made him follow her to feed him half a piece of bread...
• the korean man that lives in my building was waiting to be picked up too, he was probably thinking the same things about what we were seeing, just in korean...
• a young mum pulling her preschool aged son to school, like literally pulling because his tiny little legs couldn't keep up with her! he was only about 3 or 4 and fully dressed in a uniform with a cute beanie on his head...
• a man hammering wood, up on the third floor of a half constructed building. he was standing on bamboo scaffolding that looked like it would move when he moved...

wow i think thats enough for now, will add when i remember more. i will also add some pictures, i need to make you feel like you were there too!
