Due to a glitch in the Peace Corps mechanism, I’ve been asked to come to the Peace Corps PST training site and teach in a class while the new folks, PCTs, watch. I could fly, but I’ve decided to take a bus to Bhairahawa, where PST is being held.
I have a plan of gradually traveling the length of the East-West Highway. On March 26, 2003, I’m going to Biratnagar for security meeting. That’ll leave just about 100 km from Biratnagar to the border, Karkharvitta, as well as a small leg of 300 km from Nepalgunj to Mahendrenagar, which I’m considering optional.
When I get to Bhairahawa I’m going to walk into two different classes in two different schools. No, you’re right, it doesn’t sound like it should work, but it does. It’s all about expectations. And right now, mine are just to arrive in one piece.
