 Kali is so excited with her new kitchen set AND her great day at the zoo! Kali and I, posing for the camera. Kali was so tired after a full day at the zoo that she fell asleep on me in the back of the taxi. Remember a girl named Kali that I talked about […]     A man from the Netherlands had been staying at my hotel ever since my arrival. He is here doing “research” on street children, who are certainly plentiful in the touristy-Thamel area of Kathmandu. I would often see this man eating breakfast with various young Nepali children, so one day I asked him if this was […] One of the reasons that I find travel so important is that it’s an incredibly humbling experience.
