Living the Life

There was definitely an adjustment period to living in Nepal. The staff did as much as they could to make this adjustment smooth. However, at the monastery I stayed at, there was another adjustment period because there was barely a plan to teach. A little was known about their previous knowledge of English, so some time was wasted gauging their proficiency that could have been used more effectively. The town I stayed in was full of extremely nice people, and if I wasn't going on walks with the monks in the evening, I would go explore the countryside with local villagers.
