fascinating.
the one thing i knew about nepal when i was a kid was that their flag was the only one shaped differently from every other country's flag.
ok, that's cool.
i get here and i find out here in nepal it's the year 2063.
interesting, i've heard of other countries having different calendars.
and today is not september 6th, in nepal it's august 21st.
sweet, i like august.
ok, this one kind of blows my mind.
in nepal right now the minute hand is at 48 past the hour.
every where else in the world it's 33 past the hour.
bizare, why is nepal fifteen minutes off?
in nepal when you are born you are considered to be one year old.
so i know a kid celebrating his 11th birthday tomorrow,
but in america we would say he's turning 10.
hmm.
nepali word of the week = jilli-milli, which means "to twinkle"
the little girl in my host family the other day
said that the sequins on my shirt were twinkling
and i pointed and said that her eyes were jilli-milli.

Are you going to celebrate your birthday again in a week?
James told me Nepal was 10 hours and 45 minutes ahead of our time, but everyone I've told that to was a little skeptical__as usual, he was right!
Why do they think these things?
