how travelling to nepal has affected my family
- in the middle of dinner with robarto on my third night back, i received this following text from my mother - "Am enjoying an after dinner masala tea. nepalese rock playin in background. you?"
- i come home everyday to a house filled with nepali music, transporting me back to thamel street
- we talk about masala tea. a lot.
- we also try to brew it
- we talk about nepali food, a lot.
- we are hunting for recipes
- both my mum and i are currently reading nepal related literature
- my dad fervently searches for the everest peak in ALL our travel pictures
- we sometimes namaste each other instead of saying good morning at the breakfast table
- groggy eyed me stumbled into the bathroom one morning to see this:
pokhara is where the trekker's begin their hike to everest base camp in nepal

Eating Chaos - that's an evocative domain name! Funny thing about blogging, I keep discovering more and more interesting blogs - even the very personal ones make me feel like a voyeur, but it's frustrating not knowing who's behind all these posts! Anyhow, your wanderlust makes me a tad nostalgic for my travelling days back in the 1980s. My first and only Nepal visit was in December 1984 (with my 13-year-old daughter, now almost 36!!!) Yes, fond memories of Pokhara... and Annapurna (to whom I dedicated a piano composition in 1986 :-)... and Christmas Eve in Kathmandu, spent smoking my chellum in the guesthouse and worrying about my daughter, who crept in around 2:30AM, telling me about this cute Nepali lad who took her to the Monkey Temple (and taught her some monkey bizniz no doubt!)... Happy belated 30th solar orbit, my friend!
