While in the Peace Corps, I managed to travel to many places in Nepal, and even skipped across the border to India a number of times.

Thanksgiving travels

By Scott Wallick | Published: Dec 1, 2003
If I said that my Thanksgiving plans for this year were made by my friends while they trekking around Sikkim with the US Consulate to India, I might sound a little over the top, as if I was trying to impress whoever might stumble across these scribblings.

This morning as I left my flat to head out into Birganj, I discovered something very troublesome. On many levels. I paused, then composed a haiku.

Characters, part 2

Previously I wrote about some of the unique people I'd met in Jhapa district, namely Sunjay the Islamic Extremists and a child named Time Pass. I'd now like to write about some of the odd Birganj-wallahs that have crossed my path since coming to this town.

Burning candles, Tihar

By Scott Wallick | Published: Oct 31, 2003
I remember where I was last Tihar, a year ago. A year ago? A year ago I'd gone to Kathmandu to hang out at the Spice deraa, my old co-owned flat in Kathmandu, with some of the folks there. Pardon me while I wax nostalgic.

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.
