xmas nightcap and mobbery

So, to cap off the wonderfulness that was Xmas day, I went to Joey's pub after I finished writing the needed emails and stuff and I ran into that nice American woman that is married to the nepali journalist guy. I ahd a few small beers and we talked for hours. She has led a really cool life and has a great point of view. We also made fun of Mark... which was funny... sorry Mark.

Then, Joey was a bit drunk and he treated us to an amazing Xmas dinner with all teh works, rice, fish soup, chiyapati... and tons of other food. It was delicious. It was the latest I have been up since I have been here, I stayed up until almost midnight and I was exhausted.

I go back to Andy's and lo and behold they have left this nice piece of cake for me by my bed as a little Xmas present. It was so nice. The sake was kinda gross but I ate it anyway and was very thankful for the nice Gurung couple.

Today was uneventful. I worked all day. I think it will be a pretty cool dosumentary if it works out well.

One thing though. I don't know if there was some sort of crazy cheap group tourist special for Bengali tourists, but they are everywhere!!!! In large masses of 10-like 4 and ahalf billion! They are loud, annoying, and I don't understand what they are saying. Plus alot of the nepalis keep complaining about them. Its a bit of a pain in the ass getting around because when in a crowd they decide the best thing to do is PUSH HARD... Its defiantely one of those small cultural differences I have to put aside and think of them as people, but when you're getting shoved around all you can really think is I hate you... with the burning passion of a thousand flaming macrocosmic suns. Just let me walk goddamit!!!!

Pheww... yea, its also hard when all the locals you do understand are bitching about them too.
Anyway, its really sin't that big a deal, but since its the only annoyance I have had so far, it does seem that way.
