What I did

By Scott Wallick | Published: Feb 11, 2004
Somehow we came up with idea over dinner. I had just arrived in Birtamod, Jhapa, to visit Andrew one last time before our lives as PCVs. I was going to stay for a night, maybe two, before heading back to Birganj. Anyhow, we were having dinner, and Andrew was talking about the school visits he would be making the next day: a short in-and-out trip to invite two English teachers to an upcoming training.

By Scott Wallick | Published: Jan 23, 2004
During training, one of the hardest and seemingly most necessary things I wanted to communicate to my host family was that I missed home. I missed home. I missed my friends. I missed pizza and beer as dark as the nights in my new, lightless neighborhood. But the best that I could do, after two months of Peace Corps' astounding language training, was to tell them, Ma yad garchhu, I remember.

Oh, the places you go and the people you met. I've been in Nepal now for 15 months and met more than a couple interesting people. I decided that I'd write about some of the more interesting people I've met in installments. This is the first.
