Details, Contact information, nervousness, and anticipation.

So, I thought it might be a good idea to give a brief sketch of my actual whereabouts in Nepal. For the first two weeks, so until the second or third week of July, I will be in Kathmandu, probably able to check my e-mail/post blogs. After that, I will be in Sankhu, which is a small village 20 km away from the city. I don't know what the electricity/internet/contact situation is in Sankhu, but I hopefully will at least visit Kathmandu in the month that I am there.

While in Nepal I will be very very difficult to reach via phone, unless I call you, but here is the (Kathmandu) office number for the organization I'll be staying with (Prisoner's-Assistance Nepal), who could probably relay messages if there is an emergency:
436-4896
(Notice the distinct lack of enough numbers, I don't even know the proper codes for kathmandu, so you'd have to really do some research to reach me this way)

The mailing address there is:
PCN 363
PO Box 8974
Kathmandu, Nepal

Once again, i don't know if that's a good way to send letter or not, and it would likely take 3-4 weeks to reach me. i would highly suggest against a package, as the contents may get distributed before i ever see them. I'll send another e-mail, or post a blog, when i know more about the available mailing systems.

For further contact information that is not internet-based, check out Prisoner's Assistance Nepal's website: www.thequietrevolution.net/panepal/contact.htm

Finally, the e-mail address i'm currently using is rosalind.gael@gmail.com instead of my old bowdoin one. however, if you send e-mails to the bowdoin address they will be forwarded to me.

As it is, I am leaving in 10 days, which is simultaneously nerve-racking and endorphin-inducing. If you have any last minute thoughts or messages (or advice!) please give it freely, I welcome it all (unless it's really mean. or stupid. (just kidding)).

I'll miss each of you, toilet paper, bare knees and my veganism, but i'm sure i will discover many things i never knew that I loved.
